Day 11
Today was an extremely jam-packed day. As always, we had morning lectures from 9:20am to 12:30am. As it is the start of a new week, we had two new lecturers begin (our last lecture of the 3 hours is always completed by Edith Brown Weiss on her theory of ‘Norms…

A Single Day to Explore
So far, every weekend I end up staying in the Hague and going to the Peace Palace to read all the books. (I’ve still pulled out a different book every 2 days; SO MANY BOOKS! SO LITTLE TIME!) But today I decided to go visit Delft. So I got up,…

Day 10
The day has come – the day of the beach party has reached us. And thankfully, the Hague has had wonderful weather for our adventures tonight. As usual, we woke up, got ready, went to class, and sat in class until 12:30. Unlike the rest of the days this week,…

Day 9
Another long day, but thankfully not as long as it could have been. Today we were suppose to have a huge beach party, but unfortunately the weather in the Hague was too bad… so instead it is postponed until tomorrow (and I’ll be sure to write all about it!) So…

Day 8
It happened again. Super interesting afternoon lecture. Definitely wanted to attend. Only problem? It was 3 hours long… Court clerks for the Permanent Court of Arbitration came to speak to us today.

Sunday, FUNday
In the housing complex where the majority of the students of the academy stay, every upstairs apartment (or as Tringa [from the UK] says, and I have adopted, ‘flat’) is connected by a giant communal balcony that you can walk along – or in our case, use for giant multi-flat…

A Nerd in my Natural Environment
Because we are so close to many interesting cities, and because many people here have never been to Europe or may never come back to Europe, the majority of the students of the academy have decided that to spend their weekends raveling around Europe. Me, on the other hand, I…

Day 5
Classes ended today at 12:30pm. And while there was an optional seminar from 2pm-3:30pm, my roommates and I were disinterested in the topic to be discussed so we decided to visit the International Criminal Court (ICC) instead. Best. Decision. Ever. Since it was more of a spur of the moment…
