Hey Vancouver-straddlers
So, I’ve just been offered a place at UBC in January for the MLIS and I wondered if any of you had any advice? Particularly since I’ll be coming from the UK and am oscillating wildly between excitement and sheer terror on a minute by minute basis! Has anyone got any experience with student housing? My friendly,…[Read more]-
Ouuu welcome in advance! I haven’t moved there yet myself, so I lack any real advice for you I’m afraid, but I wanted to say hello. Hopefully someone will be able to help out!
PS – also I think I may know someone in your program, weee!-
You do? That’s pretty cool! I mean, as long as they are cool, at least… When are you moving? Do you want to be lost and out of our depths buddies? ;-)

Yeahhhh I do! I move at the end of the summer, PM me anytime! (and she seems super cool! Haven’t met her yet, but she’s lovely over the interwebs ;) )
-
Awesome! I don’t move ’til January , but it’s really good to have people and explorations lined up and ready! Thank you :D (And good to know. Is she doing it now, or about to? :) )

UBC has a beautiful campus. I didn’t live on campus, but I’ve heard that Green College is very nice. The West end/Davie Street is most definitely queer friendly. The Drive is as well. You’ll tend to find a more relaxed hippie vibe on Commercial Drive than on Davie. Usually more women/female-identified queers on the Drive as well.
Oh! And since…[Read more]

Also Working On It 8 years, 2 months agoTwisted my ankle pretty good during a trail race, still finished! Sore now, nervous how long it will take to heal. Next race in a month!
-
Oh no! I sprained my ankle in late March and it’s still giving me some trouble sometimes. I iced it a ton the first week and I think that helped, as well as taking ibuprofen on schedule the first few days to try to keep the swelling down. I hope yours isn’t too bad!
-
I hope you recover in time for the next race!

Also Working On It 8 years, 2 months agoI have an injury (a burn on my left underarm related to my radiology), any suggestions of exercises to do that don’t involve moving arms very much?
Leg exercises, I guess? (But even squats and stuff involve moving your arms more than you realise until you have an injury!)
-
Do you have access to a gym? When I was out with a shoulder injury I did a lot of stationary biking and leg machines (like thigh presses and calf raises etc). You can also do ab stuff like dish (http://www.crossfitignitesydney.com.au/fitness-and-training-tips/a-short-analysis-of-the-dish-hold) with your injured arm resting on your stomach/chest,…[Read more]

Yes I do have access to a gym – these are good ideas thanks!! :)

Well, if you can’t really move, standing and sitting around sounds like a perfect idea!
This guy teaches some of the basic stances of Taekwondo, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZYhVAmZ7N0 (couldn’t find a pretty lass on such short notice) and while he shows really great Love to the basic stances and walking, I’d recommend the one he describes…[Read more]
