Here I Come, Victoria (Again)

I have exciting news to share: I’m going to be a law student at the University of Victoria starting September 2019!

Today I graduated with a BA in Political Science from the University of British Columbia. It took me a total of six years to finish my degree, but six is the new five is the new four, right?

If you know me, you know how much I love planning and having things go according to said plans. As it turns out (quelle surprise) life doesn’t always go exactly to plan. Instead of a 4-year degree in Political Science with a Minor in French, I got a 6-year degree in Political Science, with a year exchange in Paris, and a year on academic leave to work for the BC government.

I have so much gratitude for all of the experiences and learnings I got to take in over those 6 years. I met some of my best friends. I unexpectedly enjoyed political theory. I discovered intersectional feminism. I decided it was best for my GPA to stop taking French courses (and go to France instead). I worked in government. I took the LSAT (three horrible times), and I got into law school!

What’s next?

It’s been quite the whirlwind journey. I’m not sure what the summer has in store, but come September you can expect more photography from Victoria. I hope to be able to continue using film photography as a mindfulness tool to get me through what I can only imagine are the challenges of being in law school. Stay tuned and follow along with me as I head back to being a BC Ferries frequent-rider and discover more of Victoria than what I had while I worked there (admittedly very little).

To check out photos of Victoria from my year in government, head to ‘Film Photography’.

P.S. I’m also on the lookout for housing in Victoria, so any leads are much appreciated!
