Life just gets better when you're in love

... in love with life that is!

Working hard in school and reaping the benefits!

Off to Tunisia this summer for two months to study Arabic, I can hardly wait!

Meantime reconnected with three students today - Anatoliy, here on the blog, Abdul Majeed visiting from Missouri and my student Nadia, who now works at Lalime restaurant in Berkeley - so grateful to have had these shining stars in my life!

blogging about my projects

My first proposal is underway, the comparison between Arabic and English metaphor in political discourse in the media.  I need to work on my second one, most probably on Wednesday - all day - they are due so soon!  I feel very inspired and love my work!
