April Loooong Weekend

The second day in April has dawned dark and damp. It feels like the spring has decayed back into winter: the trees whip around in invisible eddies of wind and rain falls in large drops that sound like they could break our house. However I have hopes that even if it's raining at sea level it will be snowing at Whistler--where we intend to ski tomorrow.
It is easy to comprehend that gas is a fluid when I can see it's effects. The tree branches fly back and forth like kelp fronds in large ocean swells.
I await with bated breath an email that could decide my fate for the next two years. Over the fall I applied to the Untied World Colleges. The UWC are a group of schools around the world that take students from any country imaginable. These schools offer diversity and a curriculum geared to provide awareness of social and environmental issues and the skills to do something. There is a UWC in Victoria, Wales, Italy, Norway, Swaziland, Hong Kong...
The preliminary hurdle is the interview. Only 24 people from BC are interviewed. From across the country, only 25 Canadians will be accepted.
