Classes again....bugger!
Classes started again on the 8th, which abruptly ended my endless skiing holiday ;) Not too happy about that. However, i'm heading to Whistler again this weekend, and then Big White the following.
Vancouver has been extra cold recently, with more snow falling in the city, and on campus, and it's cold enough that it is hanging around.
This semester looks like it will be quite interesting, although lots of work which is not ideal. I'm taking E-business, Telecommunications, Systems Analysis and Design, and IT Risks Security and Audit. They're all devised around real world situations, cases, projects etc so that at the end of it I should have a few ideas about what people with an IS degree actually do in the real would, which will be good. So far it has all been theory stuff, but now it is getting alot more practical.
Lots of my exchange friends have left (those staying only for one semester), or are leaving (those that hung around for xmas and NY). Last night we went out to dinner to 'say goodbye' to another person heading off back home this weekend, and we had Ethiopian food. I am constantly suprised at the types of food / cultural experiences you can find in Vancity. It was amazing! If you look hard enough you're sure to find something new/exciting/different, but you have to take some time to look.
Anyways, time to get to bed. Early (5am) start tomorrow, to catch the first bus up to Whistler in time to ski all day - Woohoo!.
