So here I am in London. It is my second time here, the first time being when I went to meet Dr. Osinski (CPSX @ Western) for an hour last Fall, (back and through from Montreal). Now I am to work with him for the next two years due to my project being funded by the FQRNT. This will be awesome! Tomorrow I hope to meet my colleagues, visit our lab, the campus, (the libraries of course). Will further need to settle down, find a room. I got a lot of people to meet. So it is starting quite well.
This building next door is named Middlesex College - but most importantly it hosts the Grad Club, a friendly place where there is plenty of coffee, bananas and hot food. I already know that this will be my supply place. The campus is quite green - trees and grass everywhere and the weather feels like the warmest Montreal summer days - must be an effect from the Great Lakes nearby.
My assigned office is in the Western Science Centre building - it is a temporary assignment since post-doctoral researchers are grouped together somewhere else, I should be able to settle soon.
