Lakeless

Unfortunately, I lost the Walking Club ballot for the Lake District trip. That is probably going to be good for my exam revision, but it will be a shame not to see the area before I leave.

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. Oh well, you got 2 out of three, have a lifetime left to come back and visit the Lakes (which I think you ‘ll like better once you’ve got back into a more outdoors and slope-orientated excercising pattern anyway) and can concentrate better on the studies. Maybe I could try to arrange a side-trip to the completely flat land in E. Anglia or somewhere briefly instead.

  2. Antonia,

    I had no problems with strenuousness during the trip to Wales, despite not having any slope-oriented exercise during the time prior.

    Barring mountain-related opportunities, I don’t think I am likely to take any trips in the period between now and my exams.

  3. The thing I appreciate most about the Walking Club is how their organization makes it possible to undertake such expeditions, while not flunking out of your course of study. Arranging transport, food, equipment, and all the rest myself simply would not be possible.

  4. That is a shame. Could you go on your own initiative? Or would that involve too much time?

  5. Probably of interest:
