Still Alive
Posted on September 11th, 2008 in School/IB Program |
I’m on the UBC Blog Squad so my blogging time just shrank significantly. But don’t worry, still alive (barely)!
University is just as I imagined (already knew the campus like the back of my hand because I came here too many times doing IB projects). So many IBers!
I’m in Sauder, the School of Business aka Faculty of Commerce and everyone is totally enthusiastic… maybe overly so. Classes are pretty easy, TREMENDOUSLY amount of reading though, yikes! Commuting to school and spending 2 hours on the bus every day really sucks, especially when I don’t have a seat.
Finding people around campus is also quite a challenge. Goodness, can’t wait to see the size of my phone bill this month with all the text-messaging charges. Gotta dash, commerce Tutorial in a few minutes!

Crystal! Glad to hear you’re still alive and doing well. I feel the same way about classes. They’re all easy, but there’s so much to read. I should be reading chapter 3 in organic chem but I’m not. Somehow my chem homework seems to get pushed to the back burner all the time… although I am like a chem major. I think it’s because I feel it’s important and like there’s more pressure to do well. Maybe.
Well, I’d keep typing but I just squashed my arm between my chair and my bed, and it hurts! Good luck with your work!
Haha I know what you mean about it being difficult t find your friends when they’re spread around the campus! It drove me crazy at first too!
Berkeley is insanely huge, yet I always seem to bump into the people I need to find. It’s weird.
Must be cool to be at uni, I can’t wait to go!
Commuting 2 hours a day! Gosh, don’t know how you can stand being on a bus that long.
Sounds just as exciting as I started uni.
Now I’m stressed. 

Wow you have to STAND on the bus? By bus it used to take 3 hours there and back for me, but at least I always catch it near the very beginning of its route so a seat is pretty much guaranteed. Enjoy the excitement while you can.
