today was my very first day at University of British Columbia (UBC)!!! I was quite nervous, but it turned out to be a really cool first day. Although we had to prepare and present our first assignment already today, it was more the introduction kind of day. If you compare it to Germany, the professors over here seem to be quite relaxed and easy-going. Let's see, how it will shape up for the rest of the week...
Regarding my search for the 'perfect' shared apartment or house, I wasn't really successful yet... so please continue to keep fingers crossed!
By the way, these are (were) my German roommates. Unfortunately, Juliane left last Sunday to go to Indonesia.
Guess what we did?? Exactly, we went shopping :-)
Thanks for all your comments! Sorry for being so slow in answering all your eMails...
