Back to the Grind

Been a while since I've written an update or even got in contact with the fam jam. Sorry about it- but I've been super crazily busy with University shenanigans (educational shenanigans).

So I've been back at school for almost a month now! It's flown by, incredible how fast. I've got my line up of midterms starting this upcoming week, just in case I wasn't stressed out enough! It's been fun, exciting, nerve wracking, stressful, scary, overwhelming, and maybe a few other feelings I can't quite pin point. One of the major upsides, you ask? Well whenever I walk around, the view is always calming.

Walk to Campus







It's pretty spectacular!

So a few things to note about this university.

1. It's gorgeous
2. Bunnies...everywhere *
3. Stairs...EVERYWHERE **
4. Why are the classes so tiny

* They are adorable! Little bunnies just hopping around, being cute. It's like seeing squirrels in normal campuses, but just bunnies

**So when I say stairs, I mean helluva lot of stairs. Apparently everyone just knew that...except me. It's appalling. The good news, I won't have to go to the gym. I'm sorry all of you can't experience this wonderful horrifying feeling of climbing all these stairs every day, I did video tape the climb, however with my lack of video editing skills I'm not sure how to speed up the track, so stay tuned for an uploaded video at some point!

I'm happy with this place, it's nice to be back in school. A bit of a rocky start but I think I'm getting the hang of it. It's definitely 100% different from Western. Maybe a good thing? However ther are definite parts that make me miss Western. A pro is that the classes are super small, you can get a lot more one on one help if needed, and wanting to ask questions in class is a whole lot easier. Anyways, there are positives and negatives to every University or College. Occasionally I feel super out of place, being 3-4 years older than some of the students in my classes but that's nothing to worry about. Getting through it is what I'm focusing on haha. I'm in a program I have genuine interest in, I've got great luck with my roommates (one from Edmonton, one from Germany), and I'm getting to do it all in B.C. with the support from my family and friends.

Got a few more tidbits to add to in the next little while. Just wanted to write a quick update!

Thinking about all of you!
