So What's My Story?

After 3 years of being a poor social worker (the work I loved, the pay I didn't), I decided it was time to go back to school and get my Master's! After weighing my options (school far away from home, or school in a different country that is only an 8-hour drive from home) I decided to try my luck in British Columbia, Canada.

For a year I lived in
Surrey, BC while attending Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, BC. However, as the final component of my work toward my Masters degree in Criminology I have moved back to the states to complete an internship at an Independent Living Program for youth leaving the foster care system.

Here is the story of my adventures as a graduate student in a "foreign" country as well as my current work back in the states.

Apples

Do you know the fine is $300 if you're caught bringing a single apple into the U.S.?

I do now.

P.S. I talked my way out of the fine this time, but apparently the infraction is going on my "record"

  1. Ouch! Watch out for those border crossings. They always look our things over pretty well when coming back from Taiwan, too.
