Not really much different from yesterday in terms of substance except the end of my day today.
After going to three classes, I went into the library for about 3 hours to study, knowing I had an appointment at 7 pm (more on that later). There are some pictures from inside the library. The LSE Library is the biggest social science library in the world. Don't let the qualification bother you though, we only work on social science, so if they put a book on minerals in there no one would need to read it.
AAAAAAAAnyway. I leave the library, bleary-eyed, at 7 and go stand in line for "The International Criminal Court ten years on: An appraisal." Fro the abstract: The Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was adopted in Rome on 17 July 1998 by 120 States. The first prosecutor of the ICC, Mr. Luis Moreno-Ocampo, took office on 21 April 2003. His mandate is to investigate and prosecute the most serious crimes, namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. After getting searched (his targets have money, guns, and a reason to want to kill him) and heading upstairs, I watched a couple protests and then we got down to business. It was really fascinating, and I am really enjoying the wide range of opportunities that LSE can provide.
I also wandered into a few rooms in the new academic building and snapped some pictures in there as well. The technology is just about the same as everywhere else in the school, though the colors and seats are marginally nicer. The seats most everywhere are pretty nice actually.
Hope everyone is well!
