Three years ago, I said goodbye to my family and friends in the motherland, Egypt, packed my bags and got on a plane. A 10,000 km journey to the other side of the world, hockey nation, land of the sacred Maple, Ca-na-da.
The plane took me from the heart of my world, Cairo, to very quiet Edmonton, Alberta after a gruelling 17 hour trip.
Not for tourism, not for sport competitions, but to start a quest for the shiny PhD.
I will share my past and ongoing grad school experiences on this blog, let's see how this goes ;)

ReplyDeleteAny reason behind the name of the blog?
Thank you, Mona. I'm looking forward to more interactions from you, my fellow victim.
ReplyDeleteI go by Cleo2atra on Twitter,because I'm Egyptian, hence the Cleopatra part. I'm also a pharmacist, Atra (2atra) in Egyptian means eyedrops, so it's just a little pun there.
