Happy New Yea..Uh..Happy February
It's been a while, hasn't it. I haven't posted since-oh my-last year.
Hum, where to begin...
Christmas break was a great time to relax. Quite low key: some family, some friends. Nothing spectacular. I must say, I enjoyed my new computer.
After some initial juggling about, I've ended up with four courses for my last semester at UBC! Wow, this feels good. I haven't had a courseload this nice for a while. On top of that, I work 10 hours a week, volunteer for 2, and dance for another 2. Nonetheless, life is much better than last semester.
How about medical school applications? Well, I'm going to remain purposely vague for the next few months, until my fate is decided. All I will say for now: some disappointments mixed in with nice surprises. Oh, and I'll be doing a bit of flying/busing/taxiing/hoteling over the next couple month. I'm off to Calgary in a couple weeks; in March, I'll be dropping into Winnipeg and Toronto/Kingston. Thank God for WestJet!
As for this coming summer, I have applied for an NSERC grant to do research with one of my professors. NSERC grants are federal grants available to undergraduate science and engineering students to allow them to gain summer research experience. My professor's research field is spinal cord injury. With my GPA, I feel 75% confident that I'll be approved. Not to mention my prof has had an NSERC funded student several years in a row now. More details if I actually get approved.
I also have a few ideas for posts circulating in between my ears. I hope to get back to semi-regular blogging. So cross your fingers and check back in a few days!
