My Favorite Place... Victoria, Canada

 Victoria, Canada

     Before Covid, I loved to traveled. I've been to Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and countless places in the States. However, my favorite place I've traveled to by far is Victoria, Canada. If you haven't noticed by my blog page, I love flowers and anything floral or green is my favorite. In Victoria, there is a huge 55 acre garden called Butchart Gardens. It is covered head to toe in just about every flower you can think of in all the colors of the rainbow. In addition to the garden, the whole city is covered in flowers as well which is why it is my favorite place to visit. Here are just a couple of pictures that I look on my most recent trip there.

    Oh, what absolutely beautiful pictures, Jess! And I have been to Victoria too, and also Vancouver. I liked them both so much! I remember seeing the salmon running in Victoria; that was amazing to actually see in real life. And if you are ever in Vancouver, there is so much to do there of course but definitely check out their wonderful gardens too; here's the website: Vandusen Gardens. Maybe you will want to learn about some of the Native stories and art from that part of the world... we have a Pacific Northwest and Canada units coming up in class later: Native American reading in the UnTextbook. :-)

    Hi Jessica,

    You are living my dream life! I love to travel and the only places I've been to are a few States, Canada, and Vietnam. I might need to check out Victoria, Canada as well because I've been meaning to visit the western side of Canada. I heard Vancouver is pretty too and the mountain range in Alberta is a sight to see. I wish to travel to more places during my gap year after graduation.

Introduction to a my Simple Life

My name is Jessica and I am a senior majoring in Microbiology. A cool thing I like about my major is that microorganisms run the world; they're all around you and they're so diverse. A class I really enjoyed last semester  was Pathogenic Microorganisms and Infectious Diseases. I want to one day become a Physician Associate  and this class just fascinated me. We studied a lot of diseases and different microbes that could compromise  your health. The epidemiology of these pathogens fascinated  me and it was a one of a kind class. I currently work at a doctor's office right now as a medical assistant. I love my job and everyday is always a different day. H opefully  after I graduate I will be accepted into a program to get me closer to my goal.  I am the youngest of four which makes me the baby of the family. My parents both roughly have seven brothers and sisters. So my immediate and extended family are big. There is truly not a dull moment with my family and there is always

Week 3 Story: The Rejection

  There were once two kids who lived on the same street, Adam and Lilith. Their parents were all best friends and they were practical raised together. Both were raised to be intelligent and witty. Adam and Lilith's parents always joked that they were destined to be together. As they grew up Adam always demanded that he was better than Lilith since he was taller and faster than her. Lilith hated this. She always felt like she was destined for something bigger. When middle school time arrived, Adam and Lilith carpooled together since they lived so close. Everyone thought they were dating and in middle school this is a huge deal. As they continued to grow up the pressure to date just continued to increase.  Eventually, when they were both sixteen they dated. Adam with his pubscent mind thought he was the most popular and the best looking guy. All Adam's friends asked Adam when he was going to have sex with Lilith. Adam replied, "When she's lucky". Word got around to
