For all intents & purposes, I’m DONE!
Monday I have class, but we’re just giving presentations on our papers & I’ve already presented mine. Friday I have a group paper due, but we know exactly what we’re going write, so it won’t be too much work. So although I have a few things to do, none of them will cause any stress.
Yesterday, a group of went out to celebrate the end of the semester. I came home around 7pm, laid down to take a nap for an hour or so & ended up sleeping until 10:30 this morning. Ok, I did get up at 2am & eat some ice cream, but I slept uninterrupted otherwise. I guess I didn’t realize how exhausted I was, but I feel much better after 15 & 1/2 hours of sleep!
Here are some things I’ve found that are cool:
Archives Without Borders International Congress
This is being held next August in the Hague, so there’s really no way for me to go, but I would LOVE to.
The Congress will focus on the importance of archives for good governance in an international context, where their significance transcends national boundaries in the globalized information society.
December 10th was international human rights day, celebrating the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Available in 360 languages, it is the most translated document in the world.
In calling for a new culture of international relations, based on full respect of human rights, human security, the responsibility to protect and sustainable development, I wish to emphasize that we must not and cannot forget those who are denied these rights. It is incumbent upon us to champion their cause. (UDHR)
A short, but amazing article about successful reforestation efforts in Columbia. They took an area where it was considered “impossible to plant trees in such acidic, inhospitable soil” &, using mycorrhizal fungi, were able to successfully plant 8,000 hecta acre of trees, resulting in 10% more precipitation in the area, making the area the top supplier of clean drinking water. Awesome.
I got a twitter account! Fancy.
