Hiiiii, I’m Vic, and this vlog is basically my “okay we’re back” reset for the winter semester—except now I’m not just taking classes… I’m also teaching my own course for the first time at UofT. I take you along for my first day back, my first impressions of my first class, and all the little in-between moments that make the start of a semester feel equal parts exciting and chaotic. Think: commuting, campus vibes, and me trying to find my rhythm again. The big plot twist of the week is stepping into instructor mode. I share what it feels like to teach at a new campus, how I debrief after class, and what I’m doing to start building a routine that can actually handle multiple roles (PhD student + instructor + human being). And of course, we celebrate—because hitting 1,000 subscribers was such a sweet milestone and I’m genuinely so grateful. If you’re heading into a new semester or juggling a lot right now, this one’s a cozy reminder that you can start messy and still make it work.
