So I cannot believe that in 5 days, I'll be moving out of my house and into residence at UBC! It's just sort of sinking in for me that I won't be going back to high school next week....it kind of scares me a lot, to be honest. I mean, I'm excited to meet new people, have fun, live in rez and all that, but high school was just such an 'habit' that it feels weird to break that habit!
Plus, I went to a private school, so let's just say that figuring out outfits is pretty hard for me now since I could just put on a uniform everyday in high school and didn't have to think about it.
At UBC, I'm living in Place Vanier, 4th floor! I got lucky and got one of the newer buildings in Place Vanier (yet, not lucky enough to get the brand new residences in totem but that's okay, i'd rather not walk 30 minutes to get to my classes, so i'm happy about that!) Since I am an arts student, although I am taking my pre-requisites for commerce, most of my classes are close to Place Vanier over Totem Park, so although I was disappointed at first, I realized it's better than walking 30 minutes through the rain. I'll be living in a single room, in a co-ed house with co-ed floors. Can you say, party time?! :)
Although I'll be only 30 minutes away from my house, it's still kind of scary. But what can I say, it's time to grow up, and I feel like this is a good first step!
Since I am transferring into Commerce for 2nd year, I'm trying to complete my pre-requisites to transfer. So I have Econ 101: Microeconomics, Econ 102: Macroeconomics, Math 184: Differential Calculus with Social Sciences and Commerce Applications, and ASTU 150, my english course! Besides those required core courses, I am also taking my random electives: COMM 100, Italian Studies 110 (don't even ask me what was going on through my mind when I selected that one...), Psych 208 (since claiming credit for AP Psychology, Psych 100 is counted and I get to study higher level psychology, YAY!), some Philosophy, and some Anthropology. Whoo, am I excited! (okay, that had a bit of sarcasm to it...)
Oh, and did I tell you that I had an 'epiphany' and now I want to go and study Pastry Art at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris after graduating UBC? Yeah, I'm crazy, let's just establish that from now! I've always loved baking, and while I've sort of stuck to cupcakes, after watching Top Chef: Just Desserts, I got really interested in the art of pastries. So..who knows? my dreams change quickly, so don't expect it to happen!
However, something that has always been a dream of mine is to open a Cupcake Bakery when I'm older, after I get married, etc. My addiction show, Cupcake Wars, sort of led me to this other dream. I love to bake, especially cupcakes, and I will create anything your heart desires! From Smores Cupcakes, to classic Chocolate or Vanilla Cupcakes, to a Tiramisu Cupcake. Hopefully, I can make my dream come true, but who knows!
While I do plan on studying business/commerce in university, I do want to specialize in Human Resources so, who knows what my future has in store!
Well, that probably gives you a glimpse of how crazy and 'dreamer' I am! I'll keep posting about everything. I also have a big task this week to complete besides moving in, my sister's engagement party. I've been planning it for months, from centerpieces, to decor, to lighting, to caterers, I am about to die running last minute details. Keep you guys posted on that one!
