I’ve only got a few weeks of law school left. In the mean time, I’ve got a lot to do, including:

• writing a paper about the face of the EU
• writing a case note about a Maryland case (to be decided)
• writing a memorial for my moot court competition
• oral argument for my moot court competition
• internship
• finals
• sleep

I can’t believe it, but I can’t wait to study for the bar exam. I’ll have more time to myself.

Today begins the final exam period at Erasmus University. The worst of it takes place in the next two days, with three exams.

My schedule of exams, for anyone that might be interested (all times GMT +2):

1. 21 May @ 09.30: International Organizations
2. 21 May @ 18.30: EC Competition Law
3. 22 May @ 09.30: European and Comparative Criminal Law
4. 26 May @ 09.30: ADR
5. 30 May @ 09.30: International Economic Law

Between ADR and Int’l Econ, I’ll be travelling with Vanessa to Paris. After my last exam, Vanessa and I will travel to Amsterdam for one last night in the Netherlands, then head home on 1 June. My last two weeks in the Netherlands are among the busiest of my stay.

[UPDATE]: My criminal law exam is on 22 May, not 26 May. I don’t know why I want to put all my exams on the day I go to Paris.

Big on questions. Short on answers.

I can’t believe I’ve only been in Rotterdam for a week now. If feels like so much longer. Things have significantly improved for me since I came here last week. I am comfortable working my way around the city now. I know where to get good groceries. I have people with whom I can talk and explore the city.

What is disappointing is that my classes don’t start for another two weeks. In fact, one of my courses, History of International Law, does not start for three weeks. There are a few courses in the law school that will start next week, but mine do not. I’m not alone in this; most of my classmates don’t have class until 12 February. We’re trying to work out what to do…

I’m getting ready to head out to Erasmus today for my first day of orientation. We only have to stay a half day today. Take that, UB Law!
