And now that I’ve searched the internet for GIFs to accurately describe my first year at UBC, its time for wonderfuliciousness to occur~

I tried abstaining from blogging in an effort to improve my grades. This was working until I realized that I’m going to be derping no matter what because of facebook and reddit and 9gag. So here I am, back to world of the written word.

I have so much and yet one post wouldn’t be able to say it all.

That, and my BIOL 112 midterm is tomorrow. 

Positrons are so much fun~ They’re very positive when it comes to looking for positions to fill………
-cough-
Anyways.
Applications for MUG leaders, JumpStart Leaders, RAs and more are out! I plan to apply to EVERY SINGLE ONE (not really) so I can impart my ideas of world domination  to the younger generation. Bohohohoho :)

MUG Leader
This is the position that I really want to get. My MUG leader was pretty spirited and enthusiastic, but I didn’t really hear from her after Imagine day. Then I found out that our MUG leaders were supposed to have contacted us later on in the term. I vow not to do what my MUG leader did, and instead make sure my lil muggies are happy and not alone.
Probability of getting it: 90%

Science Frosh Leader
Technically, this position isn’t out yet, but this post is about positions so HA :).  Since my frosh team was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (It was a video game themed frosh)(apparently they made TMNT into a video game back when we were little), my frosh leader brought pipe cleaners and foam pads so we could be ninjas too :D. The ninja’ing worked, and we got 3rd place. I aspire to lead my team of noobs to victory, which is why I’m applying for frosh leader. Frosh volunteer doesn’t sound bad either.
Probability of getting it: 75%

JumpStart Leader
I have a friend from Singapore. I love trolling her about the cold and the wind in Vancouver, and have sworn to make her love the neverending drizzle by the end of her 4 (5?) years here. The fact that I might have a chance to do that to lots of people from around the world makes me even more happy :D
Probability of getting in: 60%

SUS
Specifically, I want to be either General Officer or the rep for Integrated Sciences (my major~). I didn’t really have the chance to be part of student government because it was all a popularity contest :T. This time…….well it’s more about how well you know the people in your faculty. Given that I post in the UBC Science FB page a lot, and about half the people I met so far know me as “the girl from Facebook”, I’m pretty sure I have a good chance of winning next year.
Probability of getting it: 80%

The thing with applying to all these positions is all of the interviews and the resume building and the references. I feel like it’s all worth it, because even if I fail in everything, I’ll have had the chance to be in all those interviews and to build up my confidence.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year~
Yessireee, MARKS ARE OUT. Well. Almost all the marks are out >_>
My reaction to them: not the greatest.

On a chilly winter day, one of the best ways to relax is with a nice bowl of broth on the burner, fresh meats and veggies all around the table, and the conversation of good friends. Then you cook all that wonderful food in the broth while sipping plum juice and discussing lofty topics.

Man I wish last friday was like that. Instead, it was chaos :(  Read the rest of this entry »
