Hello world! Remember me? I’m officially finished with my second Arabic literature course, which is actually incredibly sad for me, but it means that I have a lot more time to devote to my blogs and to other pursuits.
These past two weekends I have been doing the graduation thing. My younger brother, J, graduated from UNC (he’s on his way to Georgetown Law) and my boyfriend’s brother, M, (the one who stayed with us for a weekend this winter) graduated from Hampshire College this weekend. Next weekend, I plan to show up for Amherst College’s graduation, too, so this is just the month of speeches, tassels, and hugs.
