Fall 2013

Today is the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere. By the time of the winter solstice, I should know whether or not I passed the re-comp, and therefore whether I will be staying at Massey and U of T.

In addition to coursework and teaching, I must continue to focus on Canadian politics reading, planning out strong answers to likely questions, and talking with the examiners.

It’s probably best to delay any celebration of my 30th birthday until after the exam.

I hope to put up some photos of the day soon. Most of the photos of this year’s Massey cohort are now online, and I will get at least a few shots at this year’s Founders’ Gaudy next Friday.

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.
