Uni Bound!

I've been accepted!
We maaaaaaade it! In mid-February I received an admission offer from SFU and just about a week ago I got an offer from UBC out of the blue! When I received my SFU offer I started writing up a post on it, but I never got around to finishing it.

It's been a surreal and thrilling experience this whole time. The amount of immense relief that flooded my body when I got my first offer was incredible, and I could hardly contain my excitement when I got contacted by UBC.

My parents are super thrilled to see that I'm headed off to university very soon (crazy how it's coming in just a few months), and I'm glad that I could do at least this much for them. I have no idea how I'm going to go from a comfortable high school existence to one with lots of new places and people, but it's definitely something to look forwards to.

On a sadder note
I'm pretty sure I've talked about the difficulties I'm having with Students' Council at least once, but if not, well, now you know I have difficulties with the group. With the development of me getting into university, I've been struggling to find a reason to not give up with the group.

A large part of it comes from the general atmosphere from Students' Council: nonchalant, uninterested, and far too reserved. I wonder what happened to the sparky group that was present a few months ago, and at this point I wonder what I've done to create such a dead collection of students.

I'll be honest as well: I haven't been putting in as much dedication to Students' Council as I used to. I find myself forgetting to fulfill some duty or obligation and while I'm tempted to use the excuse that I'm naturally forgetful, I know that I should be prioritizing my responsibilities on council more.

I don't know. It's difficult to find a reason to not give up.

Until next time
Sorry for not posting anything lately. It's been a blur since the last time you heard from me, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't write anything for Februrary, so that kinda sucks. Anyhoo, off I go to wallow and brood for a bit. Hope everything's going well for you, and if not, hopefully it'll turn out fine.
