The deed is done… I’m registered for the Winter session at the Université du Québec. I’m taking 3 obligatory courses (Mollecular Biology, Plant Morphology, Research Project) and the rest are optional 5-week classes I will see one after another. I was drooling all over… Great Mammals of North America, Sociobiology, Medical Genetics (yah… I’m weird!). Great total of 12 credits, making me a full-time student and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
It was kind of weird juggling with the schedule since I have been given credits from my previous studies in Colombia and there are classes I don’t have to take, plus there are 2nd and 3rd year courses I could take, but hours overlapped…. Anyway I managed to do pretty well and now I have Mondays and Fridays off, meaning I can get a job, w00t! To say that I’m thrilled would be the understatement of the year.
I AM, indeed, going back to school and I’ll keep on drooling over graduate Environmental Science programmes.

I’m here listening to The Wrens. Oh dear, those guys play really weird, but I can’t say I don’t like them. Distortion is the new normal, I guess. Two thumbs up.

A child dies every three seconds as a result of extreme poverty.
And we can actually do something about it, so why not! Pourquoi pas ?

“Join Frontier’s teams on conservation expeditions and teaching projects in remote and exotic tropical environments. Save endangered wildlife and protect threatened tropical coral reefs and forests. Build sustainable livelihoods for the world’s most impoverished communities.”
My dream job/fun travel in a few lines. Oh dear God… I’m so going to be looking into Frontier Conservation Expeditions. One can dream, who knows… sometimes they do come true. Plus, they’re taking applications, I saw this on the job boards at the university and students are very welcome to apply as well.
