Living on Campus again?
Tuesday, May 17, 2005



After looking at dozens of homes around the Vancouver area, we ended up zeroing in on the Esse Townhomes on UBC Campus right next to Carie Hall). It's kinda ironic - I said goodbye to most of my St. Andrews' friends figuring that I would rarely see them the next year, and now I'm gonna be living next door to most of them :P. I really liked living on campus this year though, so I'm happy that we managed to find a nice place close to the centre of UBC. There are so many perks that come from living on campus: easy access to the library, to the Birdcoop gym, to club activities, and most importantly, no everyday commute!


Hopefully our offer for the townhouse will go through... as of now, there doesn't seem to be any reason to think otherwise. It'll be a two bedroom house for my sister and I, and my mom will probably drop by during the year as well. If all goes well, we'll be able to move-in by the end of August, and we can start to 'ikea' the place up (^o^)

Starting the Summer . . . . ( >^o^)>
Tuesday, May 10, 2005

Being lazy and having fun all day was nice... but it's time to buckle down already (*o*). It sucks that gas is so expensive now (~102 cents) cuz i'll be doing a lot of driving this summer...


I'm starting to take my LSAT course a lot more seriously now - first, because I accidently misread the times for my saturday class (whoops), and second, because I got WASTED by the first practice exam. Reading comprehension and even logical reasoning isn't all that bad... but Logic Games are the worst! A logic game usually involves a bunch of different people, items, and actions; a list of rules you have to follow; and you either match the entities, or figure out different ordering, etc. It doesn't sound all that difficult, but you get a really small amount of time for each one... only practice will help with that one.


I've been playing a lot of badminton recently too :p I'm Sloooooooowly getting better at it, but it's alot of fun and it's pretty good exercise. My dad actually bought me a badminton bag on his way back from Davao... too bad I don't actually own a raquet (o_O). Mwahaha.. a perfect excuse to buy a Yonex with the ol' credit card...



And Sundays are starting to become a highlight of the week again with the return of Family Guy (and Stewie!). Last Sunday's episode had Stewie doing the robot, and it was the funniest thing I've seen on TV in a long time (^o^). He hasn't been very evil lately though - I miss the days when he threatened to kill people for putting sprinkles on his ice cream, hehe.


I'll also be house hunting (again) with my mom this coming weekend... hopefully we can find a nice place soon (maybe i'll even get to live there in the summer :D).

Wow it's been a while since I touched this thing huh...
Not a whole lot has happened since my last post...
I finished all my essays on time, and my profs were
quite generous with their marks this term ( ^o^ whew!)...
Exams were kind of hectic as usual.. hopefully i'll get
all my marks sometimes soon

I tried studying with a group from Campus Crusade this
year... it actually helps most of the time - you tend not
to nod off as much when there's ppl around who can
hear you snoring ( *___* )

I moved out of my dorm already... that took FOREVER!
It was kinda sad to say goodbye to my dorm mates and
my room, but I'm hoping that we'll find a nice apartment/
townhouse/house in vancouver for next year (^_^)

Heh like i said before, this summer will be quite busy:
  • LSAT Course (which started on Saturday already)
  • The actual LSAT (June 6)
  • Two Summer school classes in July and August
  • Volunteer Work for May and June
  • July = Philippines and hopefully Japan (for the expo!)
  • Catching up on important reading (for Law and Polisci)
  • Start preparing for my bible study next term (I'm planning to help lead it.. hopefully that works out)
I'd also like to get back into drawing... but only if there's time.
It's not much of a priority right now... and I don't really feel
motivated to spend time coloring again (>__<). Heh i'll write a better post sometime soon... I'm just writing a quick one before I fall asleep :p Here's to a productive and hopefully fun summer !
