This is the last week of the semester! I can't even believe how quickly it has gone. Next week I have reading days during which I will be studying for a final in Philosophical Foundations of International Relations, and I have a test in my conférènce de méthode class at the Sorbonne.
On Monday (a week from now) I have two papers due. One which is 15 pages and almost done on Game Theory and Collective Security, the other which is 20 pages and is on Humanitarian Intervention and Somalia. The latter is a continuation from a paper I wrote last year, but as I was in the middle of writing it, I realized I did not have nearly enough room to explore and discuss the complexity of the situation which is what I hope to do now.
For Thanksgiving, I celebrated a few days late (Saturday) with some friends from school. My friend Michael and his girlfriend did a fabulous job of preparing the meal and of entertaining. ALL of the dishes were homemade (including the pumpkin and pecan pies!) and even more delicious!
Today was a typical monday except for that it was a bit more stressful cause as I was in a hurry to leave my apartment I forgot my keys!!! For those who don't understand this problem, in Europe, front doors don't have working handles. So this means that the door shuts an locks when you close it... and today I shut and locked my keys in my apartment. Luckily my landlady had a second set, but I had to come back after class to get them from her when typically I would just go to the library. But the most important thing is that I could get in my apartment without having to call a locksmith.
I think that is all for now! Since the semester is coming to a close I hope I will be able to updat more often! Hope everyone is well!
