So I'm back from the ski trip and it was a really great time. Some times I get stuck in a hole of activities. It was fun to stop and try something new. First up, 'Break':
'Break'. With quotations. Because this whole holiday is supposed to be a break, but it's not. Only part of it is, the first part. My trip was my break, regrettably I didn't do any work of any kind, but I got a chance to talk to my parents about university.
The skiing was awesome. I went on the bunny hill five or six times then went straight to the second hardest and longest hill, "The Olympic". I learnt to ski fast. It was ski or die up there! I never went on that hill again but I did go over and over on other, lesser, hills.
University. Today, after many months, my parents have started accepting my decisions/agreeing on decisions. I am no longer applying to a legion of universities; I just don't have the time, patience or care. I've gotten my conditional acceptance to UAlberta. That's where my future is, no uncertainty anymore. Both father and I agreed that I'll apply to the University of Regina as a "back up back up" - "just in case UAlberta blows up". I'm really glad that it's definite.
Life. Isn't that the whole point of this blog? Why is "Life" so broad, vague, open? Did I know when I started the blog that the theme would stay with me through and through? I think I had a vague idea. I'm texting a buddy of mine about his plans for university. He's got his conditional acceptance in pharmacology at UAlberta but is now leaning towards programming and computer code. I told him about engineering and I won't be surprised if he re-applies so that he can change over. But the conversation gave me a look into why I'm passionate about the whole experience. University, Engineering, Code and Electronics. Just like Life, all four are broad, vague and open. And I've always been an adventurer.
