Fleming College Here We Come!

Just before I was about to leave this morning Ken came out of the office and said "there's something you should read". I assumed it was some silly email forward. When I sat down in front of the computer there was an acceptance letter for Ken. He applied to the GIS (geographic information systems) post degree program at Fleming College in Lindsay and was accepted! The program starts in September and runs through August 2008. For more details about what GIS entails besides - maps and computers - you'll have to speak to Ken.

The pictures were taken at the college open house we went to on Saturday, November 18. I took them thinking that if this was where Ken was going to go to school they would be fun to post on the blog. (This is fun!) The Frost Campus is so tiny compared to the city university that the University of Toronto is. The pictures of Ken and the trees were taken in the parking lot - pine trees and a parking lot with free parking for the open house, what a concept.

So the next chapter of Ken and Wendy has a title heading. Now we just need to figure out the details!














This is the main building - well almost the only building.




















A new path - okay perhaps it's too obvious but I like it.

Congrats Bro!

I'm not too familiar with the study of GIS but I have 2 friends here (they happen to be married) who are both geologists. He's doing his phd right now and she's done her master's (is at home now with child). So, will K be commuting or is there another move on the horizon?

Have fun in the snow!

We'll be moving, just not sure where yet. There are other factors - me - that will dictate where we move to, but it will be further east and north and not in Toronto. This we know for sure!

Next question is - are you still teaching in Toronto.... change is good.

Wendy said...

Well Jen, for that you will have to stay tuned. There are a number of possibilities - we just need to choose one, which we can't do just yet. Hopefully by April we'll have a clearer picture... stay tuned!

So the move is for sure then, eh? Can you post a map that shows where the new school will be for those of us not familiar with the area? Good luck with the school Ken!

If you go to google maps and enter K9V 5E6 as your location you can see where the college is. I don't know how to copy a google map. Maybe Ken does? So yes the move is for sure, but exactly where is still "wait and see".
