What a whirlwind of a summer this has been so far! I got the greatest student job in the world \u2013 traveling all summer long. I\u2019ve been up, down and all over Alberta for the last month and a half, and I\u2019m about to leave on a five-week trek of Saskatchewan and Manitoba.<\/p>\n
In between gallivanting all over Canada, I\u2019ve been coming back to Lethbridge to get my condo in order. All the rain we had dumped on us has made for the greenest coulees I\u2019ve seen in all my time living here. It\u2019s been nice to come home and go for a relaxing run in the river valley. The one thing I haven\u2019t missed, which all Leth-bians can attest to is the wind! Taking time off from this city always makes me forget how strong it is.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve reached that point in the summer where all the not going to school is great, but you start to miss classes. You know what I mean? I don\u2019t miss the workload or the stress, but I miss my friends who moved away for the summer, or I miss how everything is busy and filled with people. But there\u2019s only about a month and a half until things get started again!<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve started getting emails and Facebook messages about Fresh Fest. New students, returning students and especially first year students\u2026 look forward to this! This is the greatest party of the year! The Fresh Fest team puts tons of effort into making sure everyone has a blast the first weekend of the school year. It\u2019s a great time to meet people, tour the campus, talk to older students and have insane amounts of fun. It sounds like there\u2019s going to be great music coming to Lethbridge, and I hope I\u2019ll see everyone out there! The two month countdown is on! For more information about this and to help select bands (or volunteer, for us older students \u2013 you younger ones just enjoy!), go to Facebook and search\u00a0ULSU<\/a> Fresh Fest under groups.<\/p>\n Now that I\u2019ve talked about how excited I am for school to get underway, I should explain why. I got accepted into my program, Social Studies Education! I stopped by the U today and filled out all my paperwork, so it\u2019s official: this girl is going to be a teacher in two more years! I can\u2019t tell you how exciting it is that all my being a keener last year to get good marks has paid off. This is what I\u2019ve worked my last three years for, and I am looking forward to joining the Faculty.<\/p>\n So bring it on, September! I expect yet another great year from the U of L, and you should too!<\/p>\n – Bri<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What a whirlwind of a summer this has been so far!
