Royal Roads Second Residency
I headed off to Royal Roads University today for the second three-week residency in my Master of Arts in Professional Communication program. I'm really looking forward to the residency. It's a chance to catch up face-to-face with other learners in my cohort.
It rained much of the night in Burnaby, and was still raining as I drove out to the ferry. I was happy with the rain because returning salmon need higher water in local creeks to spawn, yet I was a bit disappointed that learners from across Canada had missed our gorgeous late summer and autumn. The crossing was overcast and drizzling, yet by the time I reached the campus the sun had broken through -- a good omen!
The crossing from Tsawassen to Swartz Bay was misty and monochromatic.
