Toronto cherry blossoms
During the week when I was living with my aunt and uncle, I shot a bunch of RAW files around Toronto.
Here are the first few I have processed and uploaded: daytime photos of the cherry blossoms in High Park.
I will upload some nighttime shots soon, along with some others from that week generally.
Toronto350.org highlights climate risk to giant pandas
Toronto350.org visited the Toronto Zoo to raise public awareness about the threat climate change poses to pandas and other endangered species. We also circulated a petition to the Chinese Ambassador to Canada and Canada’s Prime Minister, calling on both countries to do more to combat climate change and protect endangered species.

Wrapping up the year
There is still a lot left to do this year: marking, two term papers, and an urgent decision about when to write my Canadian politics comprehensive exam.
In a way, it is very helpful to be beyond classes and free to structure time however I prefer. At the same time, the structure from classes can actually be helpful in encouraging me to use time effectively.
