    Like a pressure cooker waiting to explode…

    tomorrow the results come out. Whether I evolve from science into the medical field or I come back to play the game of med school applications again… I’ve never felt so much anxiety in my life. I’ve tried to play … Continue reading Continue reading

    Reflection on First Year

    Summer Goals/New Job

    Trees outside my place.  I love Vancouver weather in the summer.   1) GET MY LICENSE!  I actually turned 20 recently and its pretty pathetic that I don’t have my license yet.  My family moved around a lot, so I didn’t bother starting the process, and then I went to UCLA, and was on campus 98% [...] Continue reading

    041. Here comes the sun, do da doo doo.

    Or not. Because I woke up to sun, blue skies and chirping birds and ended up with torrential downpour by 2pm. I swear, Vancouver does not understand what rain really is. I also forgot how much I missed thunder and lightening. It’s kind of terrifyingly beautiful. Look at me,  getting all poetic and stuff… Anyway, [...] Continue reading

  1. Hi Lorie,

    We do not have a bookable computer lab in the Chapman Learning Commons. You may wish to contact the Faculty of Arts. They occasionally have labs available to book: http://www.arts.ubc.ca/index.php?id=3877

    Kind regards,

  2. I am starting the MN-NP program at the School of Nursing in the fall. I am interested in taking any course that will assist me in either public speaking, accelerating academically and/or acquiring personal coaching services. Could you direct me to someone who could help me?

    Thank you,

    Kelly Hick

    1. Hi Kelly,

      We’re thrilled that you’re taking a proactive approach to learning! While there’s no courses offered on this sort of thing, there’s certainly lots of resources for you. Your best bet would be to check out the Toolkits on our website. Under the tab Student Toolkits, we have learning modules, videos, and tips on topics like Time Management, Presentation Skills (Public Speaking), Textbook Reading, and Exam Prep which will help you holistically improve your approach to school. We also offer Tutoring and Peer Academic Coaching. Once school starts, setting up a regular appointment with a Peer Academic Coach might be the best way to stay on top of your work and talk with someone who is trained to help you succeed!

      Best of luck,
      Gillian

    2. Hi Kelly, you can also try one of the many toastmasters clubs on campus:
