Some of what the week ahead involves

Tomorrow, I have picket line training and the U of T divestment planning meeting. I also need to do my readings for the Markets and Justice course Tuesday, which is followed by the normal 350 planning meeting. Wednesday, I have three tutorials to teach. Thursday is the strike deadline, with a rally being held. For Thursday evening, I need to put together an agenda for the Toronto350.org board meeting, which I am chairing, as well as try to finalize the bylaws for the organization. Friday there will either be a union meeting in the afternoon to discuss the final offer from the administration or a strike kick-off event. Saturday, I am performing a sketch (yet to be rehearsed) for Massey’s Tea Hut talent show.

In the background, there is the need to finish the brief update, start preparing our presentation for the ad hoc committee, finish my PhD research proposal, find a supervisor, find somewhere to live after May 1st, and find a way to keep summer expenses from killing my bank account.

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.
