History of my Co-op

This all starts back to when I decided to join the joint csc (Computer Science) + Hinf (Health and Information Science) program half way through my csc major at UVic. Before I joined the combined major, co-op wasn't mandatory, so I never really thought about going into it, especially since I managed to get the ultimate summer job at the UVic daycare center in my first year. When I joined the combined major program, however, co-op was mandatory, so it was bye bye road hockey and rice crispy squares with pre-teens, and hello office work. Thanks to Dave Hutchinson and the rest of the Hinf co-op program at UVic, this ended up being a very good opportunity for me, since it gave me the chance to travel to many different places, meet many different people, and acquire a lot of useful work experience.

Long story short, when I joined the co-op program at UVic, my girlfriend (Lydia - who has been with me pretty much since I started at UVic) and I decided that we wanted to do two co-ops outside of Victoria and one inside of Victoria. I also thought that it would be cool for my last co-op to go out with a bit of a bang, and do an international co-op, a - to get some much needed international experience (since my ultimate career goal is to go into international heath work like the WHO), and b - because traveling is always amazing (even when it's bad....which is also something I've had experience with, but that's another blog), so why not.
