Hello!

It's so nice to get comments from everybody! Thanks. :)

Well, I am still having a good time. The work is intense, though, as I've said. Yesterday, we had lectures on religion and feminism and also on basically decentralizing the western world. Today, our lectures were on globalization and feminism and the how the book Making Our Bodies, Ourselves (a book written by women on healthcare back in the seventies) basically became a worldwide phenomen. There was also a creative writing workshop today, which isn't like any one I've ever attended but intriguing, nonetheless. oh, we also had a lecture on Swedish prostitution laws, which are really unique. Basically, Sweden has made buying sex a crime but not selling sex. In other words, they believe that prostitution is violence against women, so they criminalize the consumers, not the workers. All of this is interesting to me because there is always another side, although my head now officially is about to explode. There are too many people who are getting their doctorates, and they always have some critique or some other angle to offer. It makes the dicussion more complex . . . and, well, interesting (as I have said too much), but my tiny brain cannot quite handle it all. :)

Anyway, so basically, we are eating, sleeping and breathing feminism, which is more of a focus on feminism then I have ever been exposed to. But, I am learning a great deal. I feel like my knowledge has expanded exponentially in just three days.

I am also really enjoying getting the "european perspective" on things, although that is really a misnomer, since there isn't just one european perspective. Nonetheless, I find learning about how different countries deal with different problems is so fascinating.

So, to the more enjoyable stuff. We ate at a cute little cafe today. I had lasagne, oddly enough, but it was good. I also went to the grocery store to buy some protein other than cheese. I didn't do smart grocery shopping the last time I was there. :)

Alright, so that's all I guess.
