Yes. I. Can.


A little twist on the Yes.We.Can. phrase that seems to be popping up everywhere as a way of empowerment. By everywhere I mean Jane Gooddall's lips at We Day Van and on a poster in the UVic Access Office. So it looks like it can be done. Surviving classes. Studying often and well. Attending a club meeting. Getting a workout in. All while remaining on campus all day, and packing enough to not go hungry or insane.

The only downer was having to call Brit to pick me up from the bus stop, where I was freezing in my gym t-shirt and shorts, waiting for the bus that would inevitably be 20 minutes late. A colossal waste of an hour, well, not really. I studied some more.

Because I had no pockets on my sweat-drenched, and thus freezing, t-shirt, I used my shoes to transport my iPod, flashcards, and muffin (eww, I know - it was wrapped well ok!). I guarded them with my life.
