Celebrating Chinese New Year in Calgary

How to find help in university
Dear future university students, I know I’m just a first year student, but I’ve proved all the teachers wrong! They scare us and tell us that our marks will drop significantly lower, but I’ve found I’ve maintained my marks, and even improved them from high school.

Cool find in downtown Calgary
This week I went shopping downtown – yes, in the freezing cold – and I found a really neat little clothing store on 17th avenue right by Bernard Callebaut called Blame Betty. The moment you walk into the store you immediately notice the unique edgy vintage-y atmosphere that you don’t find in shops the mall. There was a…
A great adventure with Tintin
At the beginning, I honestly felt like Tintin was one of the least perceptive person ever. His dog, who is totally adorable, seems to discover 85% of stuff that moves the story along. Hm. And not only that, but Tintin deals a lot of property damage in the places he’s at. Although he is running from the ‘bad guys’, he still destroys almost half of an entire city.
