Twas the Night Before School Started

Tomorrow will be my (20th) first day of school! I never thought I would be saying that again but here I am! I will be taking Politics & Theories of International Development, Cultures of Human Rights & Humanitarianism, and Development Research Methods during Semester 1. Semester 2 starts in mid-January and will consist of Gender & Development, Governance, Development & Poverty in Africa, and Development & Economics. Then, from early April until late August I will be writing my dissertation and hopefully doing an internship somewhere.


Over the weekend I hiked up Calton Hill which has a bunch of monuments on top of it as well as spectacular views of Edinburgh!




I also went on a Harry Potter tour over the weekend. For those of you HP fans, you might be jealous because I stood on Tom Riddle's grave and saw the building that inspired Hogwarts. I felt kind of silly going on the tour, especially as wands were handed out, but the girl giving it turned out to be awesome and I learned a lot about the city as well as the book and author.




Have to keep the update short - lots of reading left for my first day of class!
