The following pictures were taken on Tuesday, July 19, 2005—my fourth day there at UWO. University of Western Ontario has many old style castles. Some of them were built way back in early 1900’s and late 1800’s. Some buildings, even though built more recently, are modeled against the old castles using old-style rock so that they blend together well.

College Hill is the UWO’s landmark. You can see that building almost from anywhere on the campus. It stands out in the centre of the campus. When I toured UWO campus, I thought the campus was pretty big, similar to University of Alberta. Now that I’ve toured UofA campus a few days ago, I find that UofA is still bigger and has more taller building.

The following picture album includes University Community Centre (UCC), Weldon Library, Social Science Centre, Medical Science building, Natural Science buildings (med sci, dent sci, health sci, natural sci, bio sci, geological sci, chem, physics, etc), Robarts Research Institute, Westminster College, Middlesex College (Math & Computer building), Physics & Astronomy building, Western Science Centre, Richard Ivey (School of Business), University College Hill, 3M Centre, Alulmni Hall, Cronyn Observatory, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Law, and Brescia University College (a college located beside UWO).

Finally we finished our endo midterm test. So happy. Originally the midterm test was a 3-hour exam scheduled from 7pm to 10pm or something like that, and we had to memorize word-by-word from 24 pages of notes! I’m not kidding. WORD-BY-WORD!!!

Later the test was reduced to an 1-hour exam. And still we had to memorize word-by-word from the lecture notes, except that there were fewer pages to study. It wasn’t fun at all to study word-by-word. Took me several days. Overall, the test wasn’t so bad. It was bearable.

Now I’m looking forward to the 3-hour final exam and again word-by-word. OMG! I’m not sure if I will survive in this one… I’ll probably need x 10 per day.

Below are the pictures I took during my flight from Edmonton via Winnipeg to London (Ontario). Edmonton International Airport was decorated for reception for the games participants. The pictures didn’t show very clearly. I didn’t take any pictures during my flight from Winnipeg to London, because someone occupied the window seat assigned to me and the other person occupied her seat. Because it was a hassle for them to change seats, I found an empty seat by the aisle. It was a boring trip afterward without being able to look out through the window.

The following gallery includes Edmonton International Airport, aerial view of Downtown Winnipeg & City Winnipeg, and inside view of Winnipeg International Airport. I didn’t know Winnipeg International Airport has Wi-Fi installed, otherwise I would have turned on my laptop while waiting for my next flight.

Halloween is tomorrow. How scary!!! On Friday my classmates, Herman Chow & Tyler Verhaeghe, and I decided to make some teeth from composite and/or temporary crown resin material in preparation to welcome our patients in the clinic on Monday (Oct 31). They both made vampire fangs. And me…heheee…what the heck…I made a pair of buckteeth.
