“You know you want me” said the Japadog. I looked down at it, briefly remembering the Men’s Health “Hidden Dangers of Sausages” article. Yet, who can resist the Japanese Mayonnaise cum seaweed filled goodness in front of me. I take a bite, and unicorns and rainbows start dancing along the blue sky. Bono taps my back, and start singing its a beautiful day. A fresh breeze rustles through my hair as I explore the hidden rustics of gastown. French cafes, Ice cold Vietnamese Coffees, Italian Espressos. Espressos! The Italians know their coffee, right?
I sit down with my tiny mug of espresso and watch the people walk past. French-canadians, english (?) canadians, richmond asians, ice hockey players, random hobos…Ahh life is good. From my bag, I dish out my COMM 292 Organizational Behavior textbook and start reading chapter 1. No more IB, no more Army. Mr. Cannon was correct. “Welcome to the rest of your life, gentlemen”.
UBC gave me my acceptance letter into Sauder Business School on 16 January 2009. I already knew I was accepted so the excitement has died down somewhat. However, everytime I think about going to UBC and Vancouver, I do get a smile on my face. Everything seems so perfect! I do know to be realistic though and know that there will be parts of my experience in Vancouver that I will love, and some that I will hate. There will also be no unicorns and rainbows dancing in the sky.
On the other hand, I would love to have a talking japadog. Especially one that says, “You know you want me”. Its kind of sexy, don’t you think?
