Rather than spell out in painful detail (and after the fact) the happenings of the week, let me just mention a few highlights.

Monday 2/5: Cold and gloomy. That’s me, not the weather.

Tuesday 2/6: Nominally introduced the Anthropology discussion, but in practice, received a rather convoluted education into the construction (and potential deconstruction) of human rights.

Wednesday 2/7: Tackled 19th century Iran in the history class. Interesting to compare to the Ottoman Empire.

Thursday 2/8: Went out to lunch with Uncle H- and grandparents before his return to LA. For once, Indian food without indigestion.

Friday 2/9: Catch up. On course readings. On Arabic. On sleep. On this neglected blog. Lots of catch up.
