Last week I had my first day of school at UVic. After worrying about transportation, accommodation, and being a student again, everything turned out sooo well:

My mom and I brought our bikes on the ferry and then cycled to Victoria.

We slept in the Empress hotel because my mom can book hotels through work.

And we even visited with Kerstin, John, and the kids who were near Victoria for a family event!

I was at UVic on Monday and Tuesday morning. On Monday I met with my supervisor Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw and another student who is taking a summer course with me. We’re the only students in this class and we’ll be able to shape the course content. On Tuesday I met with other graduate students that Veronica supervises and we started preparing for a conference that will happen later in September.

I love my new life, but did I ever miss my IMEC friends on my first day of school.
