My Retreat to Thetis Island (not the lake in Victoria, THE island)

I just want to set things straight before anyone reads on with this. I went to Thetis Island, the Thetis that takes a ferry from Horseshoe Bay to get to, not the Thetis that you miss when you blink along the Trans-Canada, barely outside of Victoria. Ok? Ok.

I got myself into and out of a lot of things this week. Global Medical Brigades. Neuroscience study. ASL classes. NO chem lab. Those would be the highlights.

I would not say that I'm being random right now. I'm simply allowing myself the liberty to actually do many of the things that my former over-acheiving self would have been interested in. And although it makes me seem wayward and absent-minded, it's very much where I am at with myself right now.

I'm beginning to think more and more these days that I initially came to B.C. for the wrong reasons, but that I was meant to find my way here and stay for a while.

So I went on a spiritual retreat with UVic's Catholic Student Association. Comparable to Bible School for those not of the religious nature. Everything always seems to exceed my expectations here, and this was no exception. Food was great. People were awesome. Weather a little unpredictable, but scenery cozy and amazing - look at the pics in wonderment, just as I did in the real physical space.

Still accident prone this month. Cut my knee open and grazed the whole lateral side of my right shin playing soccer. But all in good fun. I really do love sprinting- so perhaps that's the way I'll train with cardio.

Started reading my Green Bible and Three Cups of Tea. I'm very much into learning more about sustainable living and humanitarianism. I hope this is not some tree-hugging phase I'm going through because this could really direct how I complete my time in academia and attempt to direct my future.

It appears that I have forgotten most of the little filipino I actually know. I couldn't remember the Hail Mary for our rosary in different languages. Thus, we had no filipino representation. Forgive me.
