What do I hate most about school - the autumn and winter weather. While UBC is beautiful on sunny days, it's a pain in the butt on cold days. In Vancouver it starts raining well now I guess (so much for the Indian Summer) and doesn't seem to stop until May or June. And when it rains these huge lakes appear on campus (especialy outside Angus and Buchanan). And its bitterly cold in Vancouver. Now I know that it doesn't get that cold here but you can't warm up. Now matter how many layesr you wear, you will be cold. And I my major gripe, the wind tunnel under buchanan bldg (the arts bldg, so this is where most of my days are spent). Now you may remember my mention of the view of the beautiful blue Pacific from my classes, well it ain't so beautiful when it's raining and windy. Because there is no protection from the ocean the wind just whips off it and sends the rain in all directions. This is no joke: I have gone through at least 10 umbrellas since starting there in 1996.
