the long fist week!!!

Hello Again!
It has been a few days since my last entry! Last week was my first week of Orientation at VIU! I went to all the sessions that they set up for us and picked up a couple of really good tips.. One prof told us that if there was one peice of advice that he could give us it would be 'do one course to your utmost' meaning that when you hand in a paper you know that it is the best absolutle quality paper that you could have written,, and just know the material so you can ace the tests..Thought that it was great advice and am definatly gonna try and do that! We had our first party on last thursday night! It was really fun a bunch of guys from the program came by and we had some beers and chilled out it was cool to get to know some of the guys there is such a multicultural flare to the MBA program so far, I am really excited to learn more about places like Venesula and what is going on there with Chavez as well as China, Thailand, India and Mexico but there are people from all over the place its really cool!Our friends from Queen's University came to town this weekend! It was a blast! We decided to goto Sooke and stayed at this wild cabin B&B about 15 minutes north of sooke it was really secluded but the view was amazing and the breakfast was a do-it yourself style in the kitchen but it was really good too.. anyways We had a great bond fire on the beach and went to a really cool diner called Mom's cafe. My friend 'Boost' from Thailand came along he starts his foundation classes today, Mine start tomorrow and I have Economics and Accounting!!!!!! Exciting!!!!!!
ps. Last weekend Leah and I went camping at Newcastle Island which is and island right in the nanaimo harbour that has been designated a national part! There is one man who lives there named Steve I think he is Sneneimeaux (nanaimo) which is the name of the first nations people here. So Leah and I got a tent site right on the beach and the Island was pretty much ours for the night.. We saw star fish, jelly fish, deer and one deer with antlers as well as LOTS of raccoons! So thats all for now folks I am off for a bike ride to pick up some school books!!
Talk to You SOon!

It looks like we are in for another beutiful day out here today, a little breezy chill in the morning but that is what its always like out here i think its commin off the ocean! anyways last night Leah got home from school and really wanted to do something fun since she has to work late tonight, so we went up to this beach called Rathtrevor park...it was amazing you could walk out for like 500 meters at least and the water was just above my waist! we saw harbour seals and all sorts of shells... luckily no killer whales... anyways here are some pics from our adventure yesterday!

Hope everyone has a great day!!

In the office

Hello Again!

Well I have read my first chapter of school work...chapter one in marketing i actually really liked it they talked about how marketing really isnt advertising it is more relationship building resulting in a mutually rewarding trade of value. Talked about how delighting a customer can result in a life long true friend relationship. Anyways I am talking to my buddy Ryan from highschool and we are talking about potentially doing a bike ride from LA to vancouver for charity, getting sponsors and the whole thing.. i hope it happens! wow that woulde be cool! I would support world vision and some others! anyways watched a Bob Hope movie last night called my favorit brunette fell asleep but it was pretty good!! here is last nights sunset over mount benson ... actually its kindof a view of the school behind out place mount benson is to the left!!

Peace and Love!
