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.

Skytrain!

So yesterday I had an adventure on transit! lol... I had to go downtown to pick up my train ticket down to Oregon this weekend and then head over to campus (grand total of 5 trains and 4 buses by the end of my day... not to mention that I saw/stopped at 23 different skytrain terminals... there are only 33 total). Anyhow... I got to sit at the front of the skytrain! lol... I've never done it before and I may sound like a little kid, but it was pretty damn cool to get to see everything rushing at you head on! So... I took video... *sheepish grin*
