I believe so far I have given you a very fragmented image of my European adventure/study abroad program. Since two days ago I completed two months of living in Germany, let me give you an overview of what has happened since January.
The first two weeks after my arrival to Freiburg I had an intensive phase of German and PO350... a class dedicated to the history of the European Union and its institutions. It also tries to bring together what we learn from the lectures and experiences in our field trips within an academic context and prepare us for a EU Model we will hold at the end of the semester. For this model I will be Denmark's Foreign Minister, defending "my country's" position on the Environmental, External and Internal Security policies to be discussed during the model. I've always wanted to participate on some sort of UN model, but to be honest, I never did because I thought it was too much additional work. Now that I have to participate, I can weigh my political skills (hehe).

After that intensive phase, I had my first field to trip to Berlin and Riga. Berlin I wrote about, Riga is still missing its entry (coming soon). The field trip lasted 5 days, a little bit less than regular field trips (which last a whole week). When we came back, we started all other academic classes. Mine are two Econ and one PoliSci. A few weeks later we went to Geneva for 3 days, and visited the UN Headquarters (UNOG... and also mising its entry). The weekend after we had an optional day trip to the Swiss Alps, where I skied for the first time ever (this trip also missing its own entry). A week after, we had our second field trip to Luxembourg, Brussels and Paris. Luxembourg and Brussels have their own entry, but no pictures, and I still haven't written about Paris. I'm travelling to Berlin this Friday to visit a friend and see all the things I missed in my last visit. The last wekend of this month I head out for Eastern and Central Europe, that is: Budapest, Krakow, and Prague.

So... if my math is right I still have to write about Latvia, Geneva, the Swiss Alps, and Paris, and upload pictures of Luxembourg and Belgium. I think it is also necessary to give you some more insights about German daily life in general. All that before I head on my next field trip. Fortunately I don't have that much work next week. Workload abroad has been more than what I expected, and feeling I'm half of the time on vacation doesn't help that much. Anyway... 5 more entries to come and some pics. Auf Wiedersehen!
