Le printemps

Four months after the onset of winter, we had our first day that felt like spring. There is still plenty of snow around and the river is still largely ice-covered, but it was bright and reasonably warm. People were sitting out on patios in the Market and young woman in tank tops and shorts could be seen throwing snowballs at one another in front of Parliament.

Tomorrow, I may exhume my bike from the basement. Hopefully, the relatively heavy snowfall we experienced yesterday will not re-emerge.

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.

  1. Tank tops! In the snow! Next they’ll be jumping in, in nothing but their pyjamas! ;)

    Glad to hear things are Springing up.
