Flamenco & President's Day

On Thursday Sohail and I went to an amazing flamenco performance by Eva Yerbabuena. I have rarely felt so disconnected from reality and entirely mesmerized in my life... particularly by music and dance. Because I know I can't do her performance justice through words, I would just encourage everyone to go see her if you ever have the chance.

Other than that, I've been enjoying the long weekend. Saturday morning I played soccer with a great group of friends (and lots of people I didn't know). It was only 38 degrees outside but I was so happy to be out in the sun and finally playing soccer again that I hardly noticed and that's coming from someone who really doesn't like the cold! Today it was in the 70s so a friend of mine (who also happens to be French & American) and I took advantage of the weather to have lunch outside. I felt almost like I was in Europe for a little while. Now it's back to my studies. Happy President's Day!

Super Week!

Given the Miller Light beads around our neck and the events that took place in the past week you may guess Alicia and I were at a Mardi Gras party or maybe even a Super Bowl party. But, in the words of one of my law professors... "you would be wrong!" In true DC style, we were at a Super Tuesday party! It turns out that watching election results on TV is pretty slow going (a lot like a football game actually...) but we were at a bar with lots of other enthusiastic voters and Alicia and I always have a lot to talk about so we had a great time.
