Our post-exam party went very well. Many thanks to everyone who turned up, and particular thanks to those who brought food and drink. It’s a shame that I will probably not see many of the people at the party for many years, if ever again.
We should all get our thesis and exam results back within the next two weeks.

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.

Tories approve plan to search for site to bury nuclear waste
Ottawa has approved a plan to search for an underground storage site to permanently dispose of nuclear waste, Natural Resources Minister Gary Lunn announced Thursday.
“It’s important that we set up permanent, long-term, safe, secure storage that’s going to ensure the protection of the environment,” Lunn said.
Canada’s nuclear reactors produce about 85,000 bundles of spent fuel a year. Currently, the waste is dipped into giant pools to cool off for about a decade, then stored in titanium containers.

The Leoben Justice centre, in Steiermark, Austria looks really nice.
