Acclimatization

It’s been a while, and the year is almost at an end, so I thought I should give a brief update on how the acclimatization process has been going.

There have been a lot of changes to get used to over the past few months – hectic office hours, dealing with clients in-person and by phone, achieving a decent work/life balance, etc. More recently, however, it’s been the actual change in climate that’s caused me the most grief. The city basically shut down over the weekend due to the snowy weather, and daily transit has been a real pain as a result. It’s also really, really cold – Victoria definitely spoiled me in the weather department!

I can’t complain too much though – I’ve been coping pretty well so far, and will soon be halfway through the articling period. More importantly, I’ll be finishing my CPLED bar courses in a couple of months, which means I might actually have free time during the week – hurrah!

That said, I’m definitely looking forward to the Christmas break. It’ll be brief, but a holiday is a holiday!

Merry Christmas!
