Happy February/Primary Tuesday!

LONDON, UK -- Well, I don't exactly have a ton of time, but I just wanted to wish you all a Happy February, Happy Groundhog Day, and Happy Primary Tuesday!

If any of you are considering whether or not to vote today, the answer is simple: VOTE! If you are wondering who to vote for, lucky for us, in Illinois you can decide during primary elections if you want a Democratic or Republican ballot. If you choose the former, I would advise you to vote for Carol Sente in the 59th district for the Illinois House of Representatives. If you choose the latter, please vote for my man on the Hill, MARK KIRK for the U.S. Senate. He is the ONLY politician in Washington D.C. with a 100% approval rating both by AIPAC for voting with Israel, AND a 100% approval rating for environmental advocacy (he was one of only 9 Republicans in the House to vote for binding emissions cuts in June 2009).

That's all for now - been busy writing essays and I still have more to do. Classes are great, still have a love crush on London, and trying to plan my break in March/April to get to Italy, Spain, and Portugal (and maybe the Netherlands for kicks as well). Saw the National Gallery last Friday, and the Natural History Museum the Friday before (pictures on Facebook!), and am trying to get to the National Portrait Gallery this Friday, but before any of that I'm off to an SSLC meeting with the Department of Government at LSE to try and straighten them out. Is it really that hard to post minutes on the website from October? Come on - get your act together!

Great road trip by the Blackhawks (5-3), Chelsea is still on top of the table (and if they win tonight, they'll be 3 or 4 clear with an even number of games played), and Roger Federer absolutely destroyed the Australian Open field to win major 16.

Have a great week everyone!
