Convocation

Convocation was actually a few weeks ago, but I figure since it will be one of the only documented parts of my life I might as well put some photos up. It was actually a fairly good time, I was in line right in front of a good friend of mine who I worked with on my undergraduate research project this year. It was held in the Gryphon Dome which did a fantastic job of keeping in the heat. I have never seen so many sweaty geriatrics my entire life. It was a good time overall though, I snuck got my photo taken with Coral Murrant (left), my Physiology Prof, mentor, and idol.

My family came down to visit which was a blast. My sister had never been to Guelph, and it had been 4 years since my parents dropped me off in first year. We managed to have a great time, although we had a coughing incident during one lunch, and when I went into Toronto to meet my parents for a Blue Jays game I missed the bus (and I don't need to tell you guys how wound up my mom got). We did meet up however, and had a long discussion about the 'hug a tree' strategy when you're lost... Definately a smart move.

One last event of note. Mom, Dad, and Heather went to a taping of 'The Hour', and Dad (in fine form) walked onto the stage and starting talking to George Stroumboulopoulos like they were old time friends. Anyhow, "George" (as Dad calls him) told my Dad that he would get some BCIT people tickets when the show comes to Vancouver. Of course my Dad is wearing his embarassing 'Control Freak' shirt. What a guy eh?
