Conference in Toronto
The Toronto Raptors became champions in the period I made my first trip there, what a nice coincidence! Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario. It has a core of skyscrapers with the iconic CN Tower as the tallest of them all. One aspect my colleagues and I noticed was the mix of old low and medium rise buildings with very tall buildings in the same areas, see picture of old Victorian home close to two very tall skyscrapers.

Life Outside the Classroom
Most of our life as students is spent inside a classroom, library or our personal room working, thinking and growing in our education and experience. There have been many weeks where I am so encompassed in my work that I forget to look up, let the sunshine hit my face and just breathe a little. I also forget to socialize and get outside. This is important especially as we continue into graduate school. We need to still seize the moment and not let the years fly by with our face in the books. We need to find balance for ourselves and for our friends. We have to learn that we can be students and still go on adventures with friends on the weekends.
