A Much Belated Blog

Hey guys,

Sorry i haven't written in awhile... life has been crazy. Ever since I’ve gotten into Vancouver, I’ve been feeling like I have a million things to do that HAD to be done yesterday.

For the most part, Vancouver has been great. I miss home terribly... there are days where it would nice see another person in Rider paraphernalia or not feel like I’ve been consistently walking uphill for a fort night. I miss my family, car, and all around easy-going-friendly Saskatchewanians. I guess probably the hardest adjustment for me was not being able to just pick up the phone and call people to do stuff. Everything in Vancouver needs to planned ahead. Those spur of the moment plans that I have been so accustomed to in Regina are not possibly in Vancouver.

Everyone loves Vancouver (that seems to be the general rule around here). There really isn’t any reason not to love Vancouver, it’s a very exciting city and there will always be a ton of stuff to do… if you have time to do it… that is. For what its worth, I like Vancouver too, but the “lifestyle” takes a bit getting used too. I pretty much feel like a bum 24/7, I can’t be bothered to put on anything other than a T-shirt and jeans lately. When your living in Kitsilano area (people here call it Kits for short) your likely to fall in this continuum: a poor student, uppity yuppie, or some weird blend like poor student pretending to be a uppity yuppie. I love those ones, you can pretty much foresee the real world slamming into them like an angry train when they realize they shouldn’t have spent their rent money on a $500 blinged-out sweat suit. People are generally nice here, that is… until they hit the road, then they all become maniacs. The view can’t be beat, I love seeing the mountains, and I’m less than a five minute drive to the beach… although I’m pretty sure you can bike to the beach just as fast too.

… there’s so much more I have to write about, but, alas, I have no time. I gotta start my readings for the tomorrow’s classes. However, for next time, I’ll either be writing about UBC Law or my move up there, and if your lucky, I might post some pics too… that is, if anyone reads this
