uvic....just around the corner

we visited the university of victoria the other day.

boy oh boy... it sure has changed since i graduated.

it was always such a beautiful university

but now, with the new library, engineering building, 

and almost finished gymnasium, 

it is such an exciting place to be.

while he still has a couple of years before finishing high school,

my son has already been thinking about universities and life after graduation.

his school has a wonderful planning program for grade eleven students.

so far, he has already researched, written an essay and 

presented on his career paths of interest.

now, he is currently compiling information on programs offered 

at the different universities of interest and looking at 

costs of living and studying if he chose to live in residence or at home.

isn't it wonderful?

thinking back, i don't recall figuring any of this out 

until well into my second year at western.

we had a wonderful time walking around the university grounds 

and exploring some of the buildings.

the recent renovations to the library are beautiful... 

so many cozy corners to sit and study for hours.

the walkabout brought back such good memories for me.

at this point, 

we are not sure if uvic is going to be his 

final choice for post secondary schooling.

his marks are high enough to guarantee him access to many.

but i've got my fingers crossed...
