A Day In School

Simon Fraser University – one of my top options to transfer to when we decided in my fourth year of high school that we were moving to Canada. A top university here in Canada nestled above a mountain, it seemed like the perfect place to focus on your studies.

Of course, s&*% happens so we had to wait for another five years for the visa. By that time, I did not only finish my college studies but was already a full-fledged CPA and Junior Product Manager with L’Oreal. Anyway, it was still worth going to. Did it look nice as the pictures I saw while wide-eyed and dreaming about studying abroad just a few years ago?

I was not disappointed. As expected, it was a bit colder there than downtown Vancouver. The campus was quiet which made it appealing as a conducive place to study and even reflect on career options. The architecture is also breathtaking. In fact, this university has been used as a shooting location site in several sci-fi and action oriented movies due to its CIA-ish and futuristic structures.

I know this sounds so jologs but it was also my first time to see a football field and game. I’m talking about American football of course. Normally, you would only see these in teen flicks with the popular jock together with his cheerleader girlfriend (never fails).

Now that I know I know that I’m studying again, I’m very much excited and looking forward to a new studying environment. I plan to take further studies here at the University of Calgary’s Haskayne School of Business. I wonder how similar or different it is to our system back home, eh? Anyway, the U of C is another story and I would leave it at that for now. ☺
