Application in the bag, time to wait nervously...
Friday, January 29th, 2010. Overall, I had a great day. Main order of business was to drop off my confidential reference letters, the last step in my application for the 12-month secondary teacher program in September for my Bachelor of Education. The drive over was pleasant, and I was listening to the CD of the English versions of songs from the ( Read more... ) -
Old Haunts and New Challenges
Two weeks with a bad head cold isn't fun. Otherwise, life hasn't been treating me too badly, the fencing classes have been fun so far and applying to UBC is exciting despite the anxiety about whether I'll get in for this September. As for Tuesday the 26th, though, I've had a pretty eventful day ( Read more... ) -
And so begins the new adventure...
I spent Tuesday revisiting my old haunts (Capilano College and SFU) putting in requests for transcripts to be sent on to the Teacher Education Office at UBC. As soon as my credit card payment clears I'll submit the application and then get my reference letters sorted out.

Looks like I got well just in time...
I'm now feeling almost fully recovered from that flu, which appears to be good timing. The next week is probably going to be worthy of a blog entry ( Read more... ) -
YVR - End of An Error
What a week. After a great day Tuesday I spent the rest of the week recovering from a bad case of the flu. No idea if it was swine flu, but I wouldn't bet against it. I was well enough to go to the wedding on Saturday, but that's a different blog entry entirely ( Read more... ) -
That feels better...
Well, after yesterday today was a breath of fresh air. Beautiful weather: good visibility, no cloud and only light winds. And I had a 172 booked for three hours and my buddy Ben was able to come along for the flight ( Read more... ) -

Where did you dig up that old fossil?
Snagging memes off of friends is still fair game years after the fact, right? Here's one that solsticedawn, scbb1803 and waywardrifter (sorry, I can't make the LJ user link button work without mangling my paragraph formatting) did back in February of '07 that caught my eye while I was walking down memory lane. Might as well do it now while I try ( Read more... )
