My First Thanksgiving!
I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner (turkey and all) this year for our RA staff in honour of Canadian Thanksgiving.

Me and the bird! I am wearing the apron two of my students gave me when I left China. They told me that I could wear this apron when I got married… I decided to wear it anyway!
I made A LOT of food… and it was all eaten! I have to say, I’m impressed with these RA’s and their ability to polish off a 20 lb Turkey!
New journal for a new life…
New blogs are kind of like new journals. Every once in a while you come to the last page of your journal and you need to start a new one. I figured that there is no better time to start a new journal than at a time when there are so many new things! New job. New grad program. All new people. New city, state, even country!

This is my friend Melissa and I sporting our GRA pagers. Thankfully we look harmless or people may begin to wonder…
