Ontario!

I was in Ontario this past week, further extending my travels beyond British Columbia. My main purpose there was for an audition/interview I had with Wilfred Laurier University. I had lots of fun, and was blessed to have friends to help take me around, meet up with, and stay with :)

I went to Waterloo, Niagra Falls, and Toronto. A quick summary:
Waterloo: Relatively small, good apple fritters, friendly people who enjoy playing German board games
Niagra Falls: Really nice waterfalls, where the Canadian side looks like... Vegas, and the American side looks like... Vancouver
Toronto: Bigger, wider, impatient drivers, many festivals (including a photography festival), and the Distillery District, probably one of the best places I visited on the trip.

Less than 2 weeks to go...

School is almost over! My undergraduate years at UBC are coming to an end. The years have gone by fairly quickly, but I will be glad to move on into something new. I guess my something new won't be -that- new, since I am planning to continue my education after I graduate - but now I will hopefully be studying something more related to being a 'career woman.' I'll be a little sad to say goodbye to UBC, and being around the West side of Vancouver. No more.... cinnamon buns from Grounds, sandwiches from the Delly, concerts in the Music buildling, and strolls around the beautiful campus on sunny days. Good times - but I'm sure there will be more to come elsewhere.

On another note, an article I read on the CBC news website. Seems like researchers are trying to study prayer. Seems like a sort of psychology experiment. But I don't think these researchers really understand the nature of prayer... like in the assumption that prayer = what I ask for I will get. And even seemed to separate it from belief in God. Interesting, if not - at least amusing.

Bells are Ringing

Bells are ringing. Not only because Christmas is coming... but because my brother is engaged! Wow, one wedding after another. My sister one year, my brother the next. It feels a little strange knowing that I will soon be the sole child living in this house. And if I go away for school, my parents will have an empty nest. How time flies. And how it flies faster as we age.

How exciting :)
