Post Secondary Days.

On Post secondary days, I went to University of the Fraser Valley.
I choose to go here because I am planning on attending this school next year.
It takes about 4 years to complete the Bachelors of Science.
I would receive the Bachelors of Science degree at the end of 4 years.
I might get a job in a lab.
The job prospects in this area are average.
The tuition depends on the course I choose to take, but and average of 4000 a year.
The class sizes surprised me the most, they are around the same size as a high school class.
the most useful part of the day was touring the school to see all the buildings.
For lunch we got to test out the cafeteria, i had a monster sandwich.

Lest We Forget.

November 11th is Remembrance day, the one day a year we all take time off to remember the soldiers that fought in the wars for our freedom.
The reason Remembrance day is on the 11th of November is because it was the day World War 1 came to an end, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.

On remembrance day I spend the morning at the Legion watching and listening to the ceremonies that go on.
My great Grandpa severed in the war, I never met him because he died a few months after returning by having a heart attack on the way to work.

What halloween means.

Halloween was started about 2000 years ago. Many people believed that evil spirits came out on Halloween night. To scare off the spirits people would dress as monsters and walk around at night, to keep the spirits away.

Eventually it evolved to kids dressing up as fantasy creatures and going door to door trick or treating to get free candy.

What's happening at Acss.

After lunch we walked to the beach, this is the view from the trail.

This is the beach, as you can see from the waves it was very windy.














This is my friend Chas, he was boffing.
Boffing is like sword fighting with foam swords.
Some people at camp get really into it.
