Fall?

A new block, a new class, and FINALLY some rain. I was starting to miss wearing my rubber boots and I was happy last night when it began to pour. So much sunshine is unnatural.

Block break was beautiful and relaxing, an included lots of laying on balconies listening to ridiculous pop music from the late 90's. On friday the school ran a shuttle to Vancouver, so we had a girls day out in the city-- complete with shopping, magic shows, long drawn out chai lattes, and a disposable camera. Unfortunatly I got car sick on the ride back and spent the rest of the day in bed, but it was a fantastic day regardless.

The Adventure Club hiked up to Elfin Lakes in Garbaldi Provincial Park over the weekend (its right above campus), and I joined on Saturday for the last night of camping. Me and my lovely roomie Rosalind hiked up late in the afternoon and reached the top just in time to watch the sun set over squamish. The rest of the night was good, but was made slightly less enjoyable because I had forgotten that the change in altitude would cause the temperature to drop considerably. The sweltering heat of Squamish was replaced by frost, and I was left in shorts and a tee shirt.
The blueberries were unbelievable-- more blueberries than I have ever seen in my life. The whole mountain was DRIPPING with beautiful blue blueberries. Needless to say blueberry pie was abundant in residence on Sunday night.

Yesterday I began Energy & Matter, and my brain is now creaking slowly back into chemistry mode-- a place it has not been since sophomore year of high school. Atomical structure... ahhh.
The new Chem teacher is precious, and has the most endearing New Zealand accent.

On the other side of my life, floor repping is going pretty well. I have been trying to find a balance between coddling and neglecting my people on floor 2. They all seem to be adjusting well, and we have a mexican fiesta planned for this weekend.

adios...
