Well it's Monday and I'm back on campus, almost one week from when I last wrote and it's amazing the number of things I have to report on in the past seven days! Tuesday was fairly non-eventful, but as of Wednesday it was all go go go again… Wednesday - I spent the morning studying in Burnaby park with Jess. The weather's so beautiful at the moment it'd be a crime not to be outside so we hauled all our books down the mountain path and sat in the sun. That afte...

Greetings from new home for the next four months!! I'm officially moved in to Rez and am loving it =) Orientation's been really full on this week but fortunately we've got the morning off today so I got a little bit of a sleep in (which I really needed cause I actually got kinda sick after my Saturday night shenanigans…worth it though!
