Well my mom is home now... came back Saturday morning from Taiwan. So glad she's home because I was getting really tired of cleaning up after my brothers. For the most part I've had to make food and do the laundry and dishes for those two. I was also starting to get hungry too...
Got an extremely busy week coming up. On Monday night I'm heading up to SFU to meet with the Sustainable Campus Coalition... I recently signed up as a volunteer researcher on energy related issues. This coming up meeting is more of a 'end of the year' social gathering though. I was looking at the resumes of some graduate students at UBC and realized I lack sorely in experience and volunteer work. It's time I get more involved with domestic issues rather than getting overseas experience. On Tuesday I am working 13 hrs... the Ministry job till 4:30 and then to the part-time job till 9pm. Next day I will be flying to Victoria for the 2 day Mines and Minerals Division conference. Back on Thursday night.
Anyways... it looks like the UN Climate Change Conference is underway in Montreal. If you recall... this summer I had a job interview with Environment Canada for the 'Climate Change Research' position in Ottawa. Well... part of the job is to help arrange this huge conference with representatives from 189 countries. I even specifically asked about this event during the interview. I didn't get the job and wasted the perfect opportunity to get experience and network with prominant members of the international community. Aaahhhhhhh!!!! I guess the next best thing is this job... I am learning first hand how industries operate. And geologists are cool.
