Galina!

Hello everyone!

Sorry for the delay in writing - it has been quite the busy time, peppered with periods of no internet access at home. I can't believe how dependent I am on technology that is taken for granted.

This past weekend I was in a witness proofing for several hours, and it was incredibly interesting material covering the run-up to Srebrenica and the shelling campaign in Sarajevo. As I sit at my desk now, working away, I am listening to the witness' testimony and recognizing the aspects we have been attempting to highlight in the Prosecution's case thus far. My stomach is in knots every time the Defense references the Information Report, which was written and submitted by yours truly.

In even more exciting news, my dear dear friend Galina is currently visiting me for a few days! It is just wonderful seeing her again - we met in undergrad, and the last time I saw her was in Boston on a wintry night when I was in the throes of law school stress. We're having a fantastic time catching up and chatting. She wandered through Haarlem yesterday, also visiting the St. Bavo Cathedral which I took photos of, and was lucky enough to hear the organ actually being played (I will have to ensure that takes place when Dad is visiting, one way or another). She is coming for lunch to the Tribunal today, and if the timing is right we will watch my trial taking place from the public gallery.

Photos will follow!
