Happy 40th Langara Anniversary , College Day 22

Today was officially the 40th birthday of Langara College. This means that Langara was build on Oct 14th, 1970. The exact same year where the Vancouver Canucks joined the National Hockey League.

This morning I woke up at 6:50 easily because my history midterm exam is at 8:30 in the morning. I got dressed and went downstairs to eat before coming back up to pack my stuff.

We left the house at 7:50 and I arrived at the campus by 8:10. I spend the rest of the time before the exam reviewing my notes. We had our exam right when our instructor came in. The exam was broken down into two components. First one was the short answers question. We were given ten questions and we had to answer six of them. To be honest, I was able to answer two questions, and all the other four I answered but with doubts. The second component was the essay question. I've chosen to write about, "Is the guilt clause in the Treaty Of Versailles justifiable or not." I argued that it was unjustifiable because the allies putted all the blame on the Germans for the cause of the war, when it was the problem between Austria and Serbia. I also argued that Germany was basically doing what the allies were doing, and that was backing up it's allies. If Germany was at fault for doing that, I pretty much assumes that the allies are at fault as well.

After the exam, we get to leave and I just sat with a friend outside our Canadian Studies classroom. In Canadian Studies today, we were given out the midterm outline which contains the essay question and things that we have to know for the midterm. After that, we continued looking at American power in Canadian economies. Once our break was over, we got into groups to discuss the answers to the readings that was assigned last class.

Once class was over, I bumped into a friend who I've known working at PNE, in the hallway. We walked around as we were watching all the events going on around the school, for the langara 40th anniversary. At 12:20, I ditched him for class. In Chinese class today, we learned a few more words. In the middle of the class, we had a character dictation competition. Several classmates and I participated just for the marks. After that, we practiced for our oral exam on for Wednesday, next week.

When class is over, I got a ride from my mom since it was raining. We first had sushi and then we went to the shopper drug store to pick up a delivery package from our aunt, living in Australia. When we got home, I pretty much spend the whole day doing my essay. Nothing much really occurred since then.
