So, my mom wanted me to make a blog for my trip to New Zealand like I did for my volunteer trip to Lesotho, Africa. I haven't decided if I'm going to give her the link yet, but here we go; I've started it! Besides, I got a Kickass address for this!
Most of you know (or you, the lonely one reading this may know) that I'm not a writer, I get bored sitting at the comp typing for too long, and I have no intention of texting my entries this time (unless I get a new phone where T9 is not required, that sucked!), so we'll see how much actually gets written...
There is a back story for this trip. Since I enrolled at UBC I've wanted to do an exchange. Engineering did all it could to make actually doing it a bitch, but eventually I decided that adding another year (to the already added year from coop) to my degree was worth it. Yup, that's right folks! 6 years its going to take me to graduate. Most of my friends are starting their final year right now, and its making me kinda sad to still be in Calgary, working, and trying to save up enough moola to actually be able to afford the trip I'm absolutely stoked about! Years from now, the extra year won't matter, and I'm sure I'll get cool peeps to work with when I finally go through and do my Capstone project, but right now, it feels kinda lonely.
...and I'm bored, and there is food on the table...
Peace!
