Con Tiempo
Considering the downnote of my post, nearly a month ago, I guess I should update sometime this year! My continual complaint that no one reads this may sound hollow when there is mostly nothing to read...
Guess where I am now? Yes, in class. It's the only time I feel I can write and still multi-task. I'm in my favorite class though (listening to class announcements at the moment) Islamic Political Theology. This class has my mind very into Islamic ideology right now. In fact, in my last article critique for International Human Rights, I chose an article from an Islamic perspective and Dr. Bom reacted negatively since he thinks I need to write everything I ever write on Latin America... I guess diversity of interest isn't always considered a plus in graduate students but I'm liberal arts to the core of my nature... ;)
Overall, I'm good. Terribly behind in school. Procrastination is a terrible curse because I'm so good at it. Seriously, I work so well under pressure at the last minute it continually gets harder to do things ahead of time!
Spring break technically starts Friday. So much work to do it won't feel like much of a break. Might go visit ganna for a couple days. Might go to DC for a couple days. We'll see. Probably won't go too far. Not a long break.
I've been struggling with sickness all month. Cold/flu/stomach symptoms off and on. Can't seem to fight it completely off. Tired a lot. Could be worse.
Excited I got invited and sponsored to go to the Philadelphia Society meeting in April. Should be fascinating and fun.
Ok, need to focus now...

You should tell Dr. Baum you're just looking at the big picture. Your interest in Islam and Latin America are coupled by the fact that South America is going to send out a wave of missionaries to the Muslim world. You're totally legit.
