Here's an announcement:
It has been confirmed. But for a few formalities and minor negotiations, I have a job placement for after graduation.
The past two years of my J.D. elective study has been largely dedicated to international law, and foreign and comparative law. It became somewhat of a career dream, if you will, to practice in international law upon graduation. Come August, I will take the first step in this process.
I will be working for one year with the President of the Supreme Court of Rwanda, as part of a USAID project working to strengthen the rule of law in the post-genocide regime. Details of my job description are slowly trickling in (somewhat delayed by the immense snowstorm in D.C.). More to follow, but to answer the big questions:
No, Janet will not be joining. But, she will have wide latitude to take 2-3 weeks off to come and visit at least once, maybe twice.
Yes, I'm looking for additional funding! If you know someone giving out grants, send them my info!
Yes, we're both very excited!
That's all for now - some news to digest. More to follow.

What an awesome opportunity! You know Jeff and I wish you both the best--we know you've managed summers apart for the past two years--but we'd bet this is going to be tough for both of you.
So is Rwanda an English/French speaking country, or do you need to learn a native Swahili?
Wonderful to know that this opportunity has finally come to fruition. Knowing that so many of your conversations with the one professor were in French shows you have had what it takes to make your mark in the world.
It is a shame that the two of you will be apart for much of the time. But enjoy every minute of the time you have.
I am so damn proud of you.
