So this week I'm reading about Liberal/Normative Theories for International Law, Genghis Khan for Military Strategy, amazing amounts of stuff for Political Islam, and a bunch of stuff for International Politics Theory and Practice. Lots of stuff to do. AND I'm working the walk that we've organized to benefit a girls' school in Kandahar, Afghanistan. I'm really hoping we have a lot of people show up - we have a radio station coming and everything, so it would be terrible of no one was there! I've actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would, and I'd like to be part of it next year too.

Arg... gotta get back to work.

I am soooo good at procrastinating...

that I took another silly quiz. It was all about animals, actually, kinda fun. I DO want a white tiger as a pet!

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.


My birthday was yesterday, and my parents are getting me a dremel tool so I can rivet and drill and stuff for jewelry. Hubby's parents sent me some money and blondies (vanilla-nut) and fudge and some superfuzzy Clemson socks. I think with the money I'll get a jeweler's saw and blades and liver of sulfer so I can start antiquing my new creations. I am so excited about it! I wish I didn't have so much work for school - I don't have as much time to play (read: any time) as I want. I'm going to start more serious metalwork - working with sheet silver and copper. Someday (when we're not in an apartment!) I want to get a torch and try reticulation and other such fun things.
