Days in May
The trend of bombs exploding in Christian suburbs whenever I attend dinner parties continued last night. The bomb in Jounieh marks the first break in a long, pretty peaceful period. At this point the toll is one dead and six wounded. I'm not sure whether to interpret this as a warning shot against Aoun's return or not, but security is supposed to be top notch today. Aoun is new blood (well, old new blood) in a political system that thrives on grudges, continuity and alliances. No matter what happens, his coming back in-country is gonna give things a little shake-up.
Today is also "Outdoors Fest" which is AUB's equivalent of Slope Day for all of you Cornellians and a giant outdoors concert for all of you who ain't. Thus, I've been reading late 60's critiques of Nasser's Arab Socialism to the blaring background of Lebanese student rock bands. My friend's singing at 3:45, so I've gotta wrap this up rather soon and get outta the library.

When are you (a) coming back to the States, and (b) moving into your Ithaca apartment? Crawford and I are moving in around late July (after I get back from Italy) and staying for the summer. I can't wait to see you!
a). Probably middle towards the end of June. I'll most likely be in Los Angeles for the better part of the summer.
b). Not sure yet. A week before school begins or something along those lines? Haven't booked passage yet. Have fun though, Ithaca during the summer is... an experience.
