That's Me

Remember the author of this blog who predicted that she might fall off the face of the blogosphere once her grad school classes picked up?  Yes, that's me.  Well, I'm still alive, just not so much on the blog network these days.. but I really am going to work on it.

By way of a very quick update, school is going well - it's been time-consuming and challenging at times, but getting over the hump of midterms felt like a bit of a turning point for me.  My concentration in this international affairs program is human rights, and I've really enjoyed what I've learned so far this semester about international human rights law.  I'm also getting involved with a few things outside of class, including a project on Sudan that I hope to help out with through an online magazine called HELO Magazine.  I also just edited an online feature interview for my school's Journal of International Affairs that you can read (or at least scroll down and see my name at the bottom of the page) here.

In other news, with weeks to go before Thanksgiving, it's already beginning to look like Christmas here - Macy's is decked out to the nines, stores are selling holiday M&Ms and Hanukkah candles, and I discovered last night that the Rockefeller Christmas tree is in. the. house!  More to come on that later!
