UBC Athletics
Okay laugh all you want, I have officially started competing in the all time most ridiculous sport Race Walking. My inaugural race was on Sunday along the Galloping Goose Trail in Victoria. I had a few preconceived notions about the sport and I was right you look really stupid when you race walk. The best part about the event is when UBC digs into their deep pockets and decides some of their money is mine and paid for my trip. This is what I am willing to do to get varsity athlete status, walk and take the ridicule from my triathlete friends. I won, ha!

Beginning of a Mid-term Week

It finally hits me...Today is MONDAY and all the time I spent pretending to study during reading break has caught up to me and now I am in a study cramming panic!! Oh well, only three more mid terms in the next 36 hour. This is the beginning of a very long week, with little sleep expected.

"Sport is the one language that knows no boundaries and sees no distinctions. It unites cultures, transcends values and defies convention. When words fail, a game can speak."

Best place to study at UBC

Here is a cool virtual tour of what the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre will look like once it is finished.

This library is one of the newest structures on campus and for the most part is completely undiscovered by most students. Instead of studying in the old 1960's Woodward Library that more resembles a concrete jail I would much rather lean back in my arm chair and crack the books in the Learning Centre with its 25m high windows and appreciate what $60 million dollars can build!

You're Canada!

People make fun of you a lot, but they're stupid because you've
got a much better life than they do.  In fact, they're probably just jealous.
 You believe in crazy things like human rights and health care and not
dying in the streets, and you end up securing these rights for yourself and
others.  If it weren't for your weird affection for ice hockey, you'd be
the perfect person.
