So, short and sweet recap:
Christmas: fast and furious whirlwind tour through the US. Great to see family, wish I had seen more friends, but 10 days is short when you have a long list of things to do.
New Year’s: On a plane back to NL from US with my dog, Sunshine. As uneventful as it sounds.
New Apartment: Fabulous. Lush. Posh. Everything I wanted it to be and more. Will post pics soon (I hope).
Ski Trip: Awesome. Learned how to snowboard. Learned how to not be so afraid speaking Dutch. Learned that Apres Ski is sometimes as fun as being on the slopes. Hope to get back on a mountain soon.
LLM: Just started it this week. International Criminal Courts and Guilt of Nations are my two classes. It’s going to be intense, but it’s going to be fun. Of course, more to come re: this.
Research Project: Up to 50 pages and still going strong. I meet with Ian tomorrow to track our progress.
Other Thoughts: Love Barack Obama. Hope someone investigates Bush Co. Would love a trip to the beach somewhere soon. Not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day without a valentine. Anxious for birthday #27 on 22 feb. Sorry for being lame and not posting for a while. Hope you’re all well!
Tot ziens

Jess–
So good to see you’ve posted on here again. I love reading about your adventures. I’m glad your puppy has come home with you!
Hey, on a completely random note….do you recall your friend crazy William Lytran from your courthouse days? I work at the Board of Healing Arts now, and he writes us love letters about crazy doctors and the price of oranges in Spain costing the people bread……
I know it brightens my day when we get a letter from him!
Keep writing.
It’s great to see what you’re up to!

Love the apartment! How did you manage to find the furniture store, and then get a couch and a bed home? I am picturing a mattress on a bike…hummm. Amazing! Congratulations on your internship. That sounds like such a great time! I miss you!
