Fall in Vancouver. Lovely. I must confess it’s not as dreary as advertised. I guess I’ll have to wait until October/November before I make a generalization about the city’s weather.
Regent
I’m glad I had originally front loaded all my courses. Now this term, I only have one course – History of Philosophy with Loren Wilkinson. Ideally, the rest of my time will be dedicated to my thesis. I’m hoping I can set aside a typical 9-5 study time and have the rest of the day to relax like regular working ppl… we’ll see how long I can last with this studying philosophy.
I’ve also joined a community group at Regent this term. It’s being led by Rod Wilson (the school’s president) and his wife, Bev. First meeting was today and it looks to be an eclectic group filled with some foodie types (apparently next week the newbies in the group like myself will try Natto, a japanese fermented bean dish).
Student Ministries
I’m hopping on board the VCF ministries over here. I met up with the local staff and attended a student dinner over the weekend. It was great hanging around students again and meeting fellow staff who are passionate about mentoring students. I’m wanting to commit to this group, and hopefully get some nice data for my thesis as well.
Anticipating the Olympics
Yes… the Olympics are coming up soon (only 5 months away!). I now know I’ll be volunteering as some kind of driver… you figure they might’ve hired me because of my Ontario driving experience (which is worlds better than the typical Vancouver driver), but who knows?
