Welcomed back to England by illness

My theory is that for much of my later time at home, I was suppressing the fact that I was actually somewhat ill. It’s like how Jack Bauer can suppress the need to sleep or charge his cellular phone while he is on the job. Either that, or I was induced to become ill by the long journey and jet lag. As such, I have spent most of today in bed trying to catch up on reading. Now, I am being forced out by the complete lack of food in my house.

On the plus side, the internet connection in my flat seems to have grown back. It was probably a case of scheduled maintenance that I never learned about because I am not a St. Antony’s student.

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.
