Conversation overheard today, walking along Rideau Street:
A: Oh, these academics.
B: I know.
A: They are so impossible to deal with.
B: Oh, I know.
A: You know what they say. It’s like hurting cats.
B: It sure is.
It reminded me a bit of The Sopranos, with all the running gags relating to mis-remembered quotations.

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.

Perhaps ‘bathing cats’ is a more apt comparison, anyhow.
