Who doesn't love public speaking? & new apartment - Yay!

I moved into my new apartment last Thursday night and I totally love it! It has the perfect amount of space for me and, yesterday when I was doing a bunch of school work, I was able to spread out and get organized. It was great! You definitely need to come over and visit now, especially since there is an extra bed for guests. I'll post some pictures soon. It is so great to be closer to the city center and be able to walk to school, rather then being dependent on buses. Now I have a new neighborhood to explore!
I really need the space and the quiet right now because I am putting together three class presentations for this week and three Rotary Club presentations for the end of this week and beginning of next week. I have not done any presentations up to this point and somehow I ended up with 6 presentations in 9 days. My head is spinning with information about, dates and court ruling from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the American Declaration on the Rights and Duties of Man and the American Convention on Human Rights. All this is competing for space in my brain with questions about multiculturalism, assimilation, immigrant incorporation, vulnerable populations within government cultural policies.... I could keep going but I won't. It is fascinating stuff but I don't feel like I have nearly enough time to really delve into, take in and grapple with all this information. Ahh, student life. : )
