Housed

For the first time since I moved out of Massey College in May, I have permanent accommodation.

My aunt Roksoliana helped me move out of the room they have been kindly letting me use, and set me up with a large infusion of food as a moving out / birthday gift.

For the next eight days, my absolute priority has to be grading: both papers from my undergrad Canadian politics course and from my graduate level environmental decision-making course.

After that, it will be a hard push on the thesis proposal.

At some point, I will have to find time to start unpacking boxes and to make it possible to move around my room without jumping over stacks of them.

Marching again for fossil fuel divestment at U of T

Tomorrow, Toronto350.org and UofT350.org are holding our second march in support of fossil fuel divestment. The one we held back in November 2014 involved about 200 people.

Right now, Toronto’s weather is pretty miserable. After today’s dentist appointment I swung by MEC to get a waterproof silicone cover to protect my backpack (better than my crude black garbage bag cover) and some ‘Darn Tough Vermont’ merino wool socks.

Hopefully, tomorrow’s evening weather will be OK and we will see a strong turnout. The march is timed to coincide with a meeting of the Governing Council, who will hopefully be walking out of Simcoe Hall at the same time as we have people giving speeches there.
