A walk to remember
I walked around UVic campus just the other day.. I found it extremely hard to say goodbye...
UVic is my school and it was the school that took me in and nurtured my love for geography.
I still remember the fall of 2001.. I was a first year student. Finding a class in Clearihue, getting lost in Cornett and math class in FRA159 is just too far away from the Buses especially for a 8.30 class. L-Huts was the Geographer's Paradise, with maps and rock samples. McPherson Library was intimidating and too huge.I remember waiting anxiously for the exam timetable to come out, and being so frightened walking into McKinnon for my first final. SUB is where I hung out. I was surprise to find a pub ( Felicitas ) on Campus and CIT ( Hickman ) was the newest building on campus.
As I venture into my 2nd, 3rd and 4th year. I begin to explore more of campus and soon, I found myself a study corner and also I found my favourite building. I learnt the stories about each building and participated at WOW. I love UVic..It became the place I am most familiar with and it became home.
As I walked around campus, the new buildings have came up and students have walked 'new paths' across the greens. I walked my campus a thousand times and I will remember the stories, the bunnies and I will never forget my university.
Its really hard to let go of something you love..Its especially hard when it became the place I am most familiar with and it became a 2nd home.
I am proud to be a University of Victoria Alumni. Its without a doubt that I will return to visit again.. I know I will cry.. coz I love my school. Maybe no one will understand why I am so attached to UVic... if fate permits, I wish to one day, return to the university. For another degree, masters. PH.D or maybe to teach !
