First day of school @ UBC

Went for 3 lessons today and went for winter gala orientation, totally drained my energy *yawnz*. Anyway, UBC was so different from yesterday, with the influx of students and opening of the bookstore, food joints and other buildings. Walked by the swimming pool and saw over-sized seagulls flying over it!! Ha ha, but didn't manage to take any pictures of them as the weather was too cold for me to stand still and take out my camera to shoot!!

At one of the lessons, the lecturer could actually identify my friends and i as exchange students and she said, " somehow i can just identify u guys as exchange students, sitting at one corner by yourselves.." The thing was that we were late for that class due to the previous lesson and so there was only that spot for us to sit!! Grr... but then again, the lecturer is a rather nice Romanian woman, so shall not get pissed with her haha... Oh one thing i am rather happy with is that most of my lessons last an hour each, so i can actually stay awake!! For those who know me well, you should understand what a formidable feat it is for me!! lol...

Went to the bookstore to collect my UBC card and UPass, which was something like the student ezlink card with concession, just that it cost lesser and u can take the bus as well as train!! Nice! The bookstore here looks like the old MPH near the old National Library, looks much nicer than pathetic Coop in NUS and most imptly, they have 13 counters!! The queue might be long, but at least the waiting is rather short...

Anyway, getting sleepy... so shall just show u a couple of photos that i took when i woke up this morning. Think it sort of snowed a little during the nite...

house that i live in..
