Quite the week...

I am finally sitting down to write a little note to all of you, just to let you know that I am still around! This week has been incredibly busy, and I am looking forward to just crawling into bed tonight. Over the weekend I researched case law for certification of an interlocutory appeal. The brief was in the process of being written when Defense decided... to withdraw their motion. Lovely. Other than that I was at the office last night well into the evening, working on something urgent. Even if I get cranky when 9:00 rolls around, it still seems like a compliment to be asked to handle something that is needed right away.

This weekend I will try to take photos of the city and the general area, something representative of what daily life is like here. While I have a softer spot for Uppsala or Berlin, life here suits me just fine. As my dear friend Stacy just described me: I am a 'laid back, Volvo-driving farm girl, with a side of me that's more lawyer, take-on-the-world, nail the dictator.' That just about sums up the Hague as I have experienced it so far.
