This week was fairly low key, most of it was spent working on my isp paper. That entailed spending most of my days locked in the UN Library looking at hundreds of journal articles and books. Basically, if i see the word microfinance again, I'm going to throw up. I started writing my paper a little bit yesterday because I had nothing better to do. This weekend 20 out of 26 kids on my program are travelin out of the country. I would have joined, but like 15 were headed to barcelona, and im going there next weekend to visit Jena and other wisco people.
Last night Greta, Ida, and I went out to the Fisherman's Pub and had a pretty good time.
Today turned out to be great, though. Nico and Chiara and I woke up early, grabbed some breakfast, and headed out to Neuchatel. Neuchatel is about an hour and a half by car and is yet another amazingly beautiful old city on a lake. We walked around for a while, saw the obligatory old church and castle, grabbed a small snack and enjoyed the great weather.
After, we drove to Lausanne, a city not far from home, which is really cool because there is a big university there so the city is filled with younger people. Nico and Chiara showed me the centre of the city, which I had not been to yet. There were a ton of people and really cool stores and shops. We had a really good time just walking around and talking and chilling. Oh, and we had sushi for lunch - tres bonne.
Thats about it, prob going to work on my paper for most of tomorrow and monday, and then I'm off to Barcelona on thursday!
Also, working on going to Basel, Switzerland (near germany) to see a soccer match with nico, and then to Lyon, France to see the top French soccer team play the last weekend of the program (hopefully both will happen) - thus fulfilling my dream to see a European soccer game.
