Entering the last captive weekend

The process of revision continues. Later tonight, I am planning to write a practice exam for history, if only to get the feel of writing three one hour timed essays in a row. First, I need to finish getting through some more of my notes. Even without reading anything other than the notes I have made on assigned readings and seminars, I have thousands of pages of text to deal with.

At least I have proven surprisingly capable of shifting my sleep schedule so that I am up and ambling around – if not exactly thinking at my sharpest – before 9:00am. Once again, I apologize for being uninteresting for a while. Once exams finish on Wednesday, I will try to write something more compelling here.

PS. While cycling up South Parks Road this evening, the rear tire on my bicycle seems to have exploded. The inner tube has torn along one of the seams, leaving a gash several inches long. A few patches and some rubber cement will not be enough to correct things, this time.

In the spring of 2005, I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a degree in International Relations and a general focus in the area of environmental politics. In the fall of 2005, I began reading for an M.Phil in IR at Wadham College, Oxford. Outside school, I am very interested in photography, writing, and the outdoors. I am writing this blog to keep in touch with friends and family around the world, provide a more personal view of graduate student life in Oxford, and pass on some lessons I've learned here.
