News Round Up
1. Due to obscene neglect on the part of my parents, Madchen has been forced to keep herself clean by secreting herself in loads of laundry. At last report, the filter on the dryer was clogged with fur.
2. The Willy:s grocery store down the street from me is being closed. This is an obvious case of redlining, and irritates me to no end. I will be sending a sharply worded letter to their corporate headquarters, just as soon as I learn enough Swedish to navigate their "Kontakta Oss" website.
3. I have been up to my ears in thesis interviews. Each one takes at least 2 hours of preparation (and that's after I've carefully negotiated an interview time where both of us will be available), plus the time it takes to have the interview, write up the summary, and email it off for approval. Thankfully, I've got it down to a science, and it now runs quite smoothly.
4. On Friday I leave for Austria with Mandy. We'll spend 3 days in Vienna, two days in Salzburg, 4 days in Graz, and then one day to be decided when we get there. While in Graz, Mandy and I will be presenting at the Conference on the International Launch in Higher Education: Education for Sustainable Development (United Nations Decade 2005-2014). We're very important, you see.
5. No one has decided to pick up my brilliant op-ed. I think it was the timing--Terry Schiavo is so last week. Even the Pope is getting overexposed. Perhaps I'll post it here, after I talk to the Foundation.

Oh the jealousy! I want to hear all about Vienna. Thanks for the postcards, btw. I received one just yesterday.

I came to your page when searching for info about the leadership bla bla program at BTH. My american boyfriend is applying for it (I study something else at BTH) and you look like a nice person to ask about visa, recidency, the program and crap like that. So please send a mail when you have time :D

Oh-oh. I hope Line didn't read all your posts about our program. What kind of an ambasador would that make you?
