Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

April: exams and travels

Still had exams to give but was able to start moving on with my life this month.

March: last bit of the term (a doozy)

I guess it’s accumulated work catching up with me towards the end of the term, such that, despite having no trips longer than a weekend, free time was at a premium.

February: still teaching three courses, plus a hiking trip to Japan

OK, this month had a trip to Japan. Aside from that, I got to Toronto once, and to Kingston just at the end of the month. February is a short month, though.

January: a month of teaching three courses, and two trips

Well, that was a whole month. Arrived in Canada on January 6. Teaching ECE 459×2 and SE 465, and had two weekend trips the next two weekends. A bit less busy now.

December: Last month of sabbatical and two trips

Back on the move, with a trip to the South Island and a trip to the Pacific Islands (French Polynesia), before returning to Canada to teach in the Winter 2025 semester.

In a contrast from October, all but the last two days in Wellington.

September: final versions of papers, course prep, Auckland, and Japan

Mostly in Wellington except for a weekend in Auckland and a week in Tokyo (the start of a busy travel month). Finalizing papers, reviewing course notes.

July: A walk on the Old Ghost Road and a visit to Melbourne and Cairns, plus a workshop paper submission

Travels continued with another tramp on the South Island and a trip to Australia. Research continues with a submission to HATRA and revisions of our paper on race freedom verification.
