Today

I woke up today at 6. took a shower while I was planning for my day. Studied what I want to teach next week. Also preparing some materials for it. I went to Starbucks had a medium roast tall coffee and enjoyed reading cloud computing. Moreover, I started to learn about WordPress as I badly need a professional website.

1st Interview...

It might seem a bit funny after working in Canada for 12 years, i just had my first interview. This time, for an academic position. Maybe this is the beginning of the journey that I have always dreamed of. I had a 10 mins presentation of Agile and I think i rocked it! In fact they liked it so much that before I get into office, an unofficial email was sent to me that they are preparing an offer! so let's see.

It's now official- A master of Science with Thesis option in Computer Science

Being from Faculty of Art, limited all my options to a master of art or master of information and it's after several months of back and forth that i made it to an offer from faculty of science.

It's in a cold winter night. It's 1:54 am and i am sitting in our den. Looking at the future that this decision can bring, I am clicking on accept button for the Ryerson University offer. They offered me in total $28,000 awards and scholarships including Ryerson Fellow Graduate award.

I will work under supervision of Prof. Miranskyy and will do my best to establish novel research line.

To my future Salman: One day, you will wake up and go to university and come back after several lectures .... No more client complain, no more ticket, no more follow-up call.....

At this very moment, still deciding on information systems & design and computer science. Next year by now, my path will be more clear . moreover I took the lattrr picture from TEL building on my last lecture night at York on 3rd of December 2015.
