We're in Canada Eh?

I had waited for the chance to study in British Columbia for so long that the anticipation for getting me student visa was immense! While I was waiting, and the customs officer looked through paper after paper, I felt my heart slowly creeping into my throat. I should be fine getting into the country, but, this guy in his blue-bullet-proof vest that probably gave him an ego trip had the chance to deny me my visa. What if he just hated my smile, or Coloradans, he could think of an excuse not to let me in. I heard people in Park City mentioning how nervous they would get when they were in LA airport waiting for their visa to be approved. I think I get what they are talking about. It isn't likely that you will be turned away. But there is that chance. It is scary to know you are placing your job or in my case education, in the hands of a ego-filled customs officer! Then he did something that brought me back to my senses, "It's probably a lot cheaper for you, eh?" EH!!!!! He really said it with the full on stereotyped accent and everything! When I was in Toronto, no one actually used it! For some reason by him saying that silly little word, I felt relief! My heart went back to its normal location and my mind was set to ease. This lovely Canadian in his striking blue uniform was of course going to give me my permit. Why wouldn't he? I am paying for it! Not to mention I do have a wicked cute smile!

It seems unreal that it is finally happening! I am in Vancouver, British Columbia waiting for classes to begin! The campus is as beautiful as I imagined. As soon as I have a camera, I will definitely place a photo!
