17 degrees celcius and not a cloud in the sky....and it's February! It's always hard to stay motivated when the weather is nice after snow a couple of weeks ago. However, loads of reading awaits me for next week. Currently working my way through Zionist leaders, I will be moving on to religious authorities: shifting styles and politics. I can't believe there are only 4 weeks left in the term. Seems like I just started! Not to mention 2 looming essays and my dissertation title/topic due shortly.

Also quite interesting, international politics make their way to Muscatine, Iowa, 45 mintues from where I grew up. Xi Jingping from China made an official visit and this piece by Al Jazeera highlights the small town attitudes, commenting on the quiet interest shown by the locals while demonstrators were kept apart by polite requests from the police. Sounds pretty accurate, but quite a world away from my life in DC or here in London.
