Re-Canadianated


It's been about 3 months to the day that I've first reset foot on Canadian Soil, so I think it's safe to say I've been reacclimatized, though still in a wierd sort of bubble.

I'll admit it does kind of feel like a bit of a time warp to be back in the same house with the same people as before I left for Korea. And to add to it, those 'same people' also happen to be the very same people I have lived with my entire life (my parents, and my sister will be moving back in very shortly). Oh, the fun of living in Vancouver, where everyone moves back in with their parents. Either that or spend every penny and then some on renting somewhere, no thanks. Speaking of pennies and that which one can do to get them, substitute teaching is going pretty well for me. Getting a decent amount of work lately. I've got a full week of work starting tomorrow at my old elementary school, teaching grade 11 history. Right up my alley, I'm looking forward to it. On top of subbing, I spend a couple nights here and there working at my brother's gym, so work is going solid.

Dave and I went snowboarding today, it was the best day of local snowboarding I think I've ever had. The conditions were awesome. I found an awesome little cliff jump to take advantage of...






Meanwhile, Dave found an interesting jump of his own.






We ended up going until our bodies just plain wouldn't work anymore, should be a nice sore day tomorrow. It was worth it. I guess there's a reason why Vancouver is such an expensive city. It doesn't even seem right to be able to snowboard and see the ocean at the same time.






What's on the horizon? I'm applied at UBC Okanagan for the coming fall, at least, maybe even in the summer. And If I'm not a student, I'll just teach instead and head back to Korea for a summer camp. 'til then I'll just 'sub and save as much as humanly possible until I dive back into the poverty stricken life of a university student.

Can't wait...
