So you think you can....Sing?

One of the big highlights of this semester was the lip-singing contest we had in November. It was outright HILARIOUS! It was organized as one of the many spirit cup events we have at Quest. To briefly explain what the "spirit cup" is (and no it's not like the spirit cup trophy the cheerleaders in Bring It On win), it is a trophy given each year to the floor (determined by the dorms) wins the most spirit cup events. The events are awesome because they bring the community together to do fun and exciting things, some of which I would never have done if it wasn't an event (i.e. Curling). So yeah, Below I have added some links to 2 of the videos of the lip-singing contest. It was SO much fun!

Whistler Weekend

As the weather gets colder and colder, my desire to snowboard once again is growing bigger and bigger. So this weekend, I finally had some spare time to go up to Whistler and hit the slopes. It was AMAZING! I love that whistler so close and that Quest students got a discount on the season passes! It's crazy being up there any knowing that in a couple months people from all around the world are going to fill up the city for the Winter Olympics. I can't wait for all the excitement to happen! But for now, I'll continue to enjoy the quite slopes on the weekends :)

Go Team USA....and Canada hahahaha

Trick or Treat

Halloween at Quest is always an adventure and this year was no exception. One of the spirit challenges was for each floor of the dorms to get together and decorate the floor. Let me tell ya, there were some crazy floors! My floor, 4th North (the best, cough cough, hahaha) didn't really create a haunted house or anything. But I had so much fun putting up cobwebs, making a "dead person" out of clothes and pumpkins, carving pumpkins. It was a lot of fun. One of the floors created this insane haunted house where all the people living on that floor create a skit and everything. It was awesome! And everyone was dressed up. It was so cool. I went as a mobster hahaha. It was really cool seeing everyone dressed up. And most people created their own costumes. The artsy side of quest :).

There was even a "Zombie hunt" the night before where students dressed up as zombies and chased other students around campus. hahaha crazy fun!

But enough fun, now back to studying :)

BLOCK BREAK

Block break is finally here! The first break of the year! I'm so excited that I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll probably go down to Vancouver for a day or two and just hang out in the city.

But I'm really going to miss Stats! This has to be one of my favorite courses so far. And I finally got to do something related to my Question. For my final project, I did a statistical analysis on how healthy Quest students ate. It was so much fun and very interesting.

On Monday, I start Musical Neuroscience. I really loved the Neuroscience course I took during first year so I hope I'll enjoy this class just as much. Plus, I love music! It should be good.

But for now, I'm going to rest. It can get kind of stressful at the end of the block.

Block 1 - A New Year begins!

I'm so excited to be back at Quest. And it's my third year. WOW! How time flies! But I am so excited to start the year off studying one of my all time favorite subjects...MATH! Yay! I know, it's weird. People usually don't like math, but I love it. And better yet, it's with one of my favorite professors, Glen Van Brummlen. One thing that's really fun with Glen is that he has this challege (I guess you can call it that) every block that if he makes ten mistakes of more while teaching, he will buy the whole class pizza on the last day of the block. I always look forward to catching him on his mistakes hahaha. And it's not so much as in givng us false information, more like if the equation asks for subtraction and he writes addition on the board, he gets a mistake. And Glen is fun. He really likes to invlove the students in the lessons. I've never taken Statistics before but I'm sure I'll have a blast!
