September 11, 2013
So you made it past first year. Survived Statistical Methods I. Went to the zoo for animal observation (and were assaulted by Joe the Chimpanzee? No? I guess he just didn’t like my year). Well done! Of course, some of you might be getting a bit cocky, thinking the year to come is going to …

My Three Years Here… (Part 4)
July 17, 2013
My first day was nerve-wrecking (as all first day experiences are) as I joined the course a week later than I should’ve due to my late application. As cheesy as it sounds, the memory is still fresh in my mind; I was worried that it would be difficult for me to make friends because I …
