as for the phd. i got accepted to GMU,conflict analysis and got an assistant position. but i decided to delay my arrival for one year since i want to work for the prosecution a bit longer. i love my job, as difficult as it is. and the experience and knowledge will, later on, feed into my research. so i decided to stay for another year.
as for dc, i liked it. and i am sure i will enjoy studying there. i am looking forward to it.
so, if you need something. let me know.
