Thoughts and travels of Patrick Lam

May: another big month

Much travel, especially on the West Coast of North America. Really did finish teaching.

April: finally done with Winter term

Whew! Finished teaching for Spring term. Western Newfoundland; around Montreal; and Brampton. Home repair.

March: lots of good news

Reasonable success this month, professionally (awarded grant, major revisions on a paper) and for refereeing (selected for Canadian nationals). Lots of work and also weekend trips.

February: COVID, teaching, and a trip to Japan

COVID didn’t throw too much of a wrench into things, thankfully. Second month of teaching for Winter 2023, including reading week and a trip to Japan.

January: teaching and extracurriculars

Back to the classroom (teaching two courses), plus judo tournaments and some skiing. Before that, we hiked Around the Mountain (Taranaki) in New Zealand.
