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.

One thought on “Grad school accoutrements”

  1. I swung by yesterday and learned that the Hart House gym has begun admitting students who didn’t pay the summer fee.

    I’m thinking of signing up for their beginner judo class. It would be about $200 with a gi (my high school era gi in Vancouver is likely inaccessible, or too expensive to ship) and would occupy 4+ hours per week. Still, it could be worthwhile from the perspectives of general health, a productive activity to take my mind off the disseratation, and meeting a new group of people.
