Welcome world!

The last two weeks have gone by really fast. I thought it was going to go by really slow since I had nothing planned or any one to go out to the free events with since most of my friends had used the break to catch up on their homework and readings.

For the entire two weeks that I had my days off, I spent most of it on Robson and it's surrounding areas. The crowds were pretty wild and everyone was super friendly. We had people giving away free hugs, any one that had their hands up got a high five to people just standing on street corners chanting "Go Canada go!", singing Oh Canada and of course "FUCK U.S.A!" well, that was yesterday...we gotta cheer on our Canadian team!

I was lucky and I got to go to the award ceremony. Well the guy I'm currently seeing, his friend got 3 extra tickets and wanted some people to go with her. It was a fun to go to, except for the constant sitting and standing for each country's national anthem. We might as well just stood for the whole thing until the performers came. To be honest, I never heard of the The Great Big Sea, so I was bored during their performance. My friend explained to me that they were Newfie folk band, they got the crowd going. Once I had moved down from my assigned seats down to the ground floor, the couple next to me began to do a folk dance. I kind of felt sorry for the boyfriend...he was forced to dance by his girlfriend.

any ways pictures time!

**warning its bit on the heavy side**
