Our flights from Ottawa appeared initially eventful, but after packing everything and showing up to the airport, we were told that we couldn’t fly as there was a connection issue. They were very nice though, and worked for the next hours to find us another route for the following day. The flight from LA was eerily empty.

After the quarantine, we all returned to school and I got back into the swing of life at Corpus.

We very much enjoyed our time in Ottawa and are planning to return in a couple of years to catch up with the friends we made. Thank you for helping to organise the exchange, we still had a great year and made some wonderful memories.
