I would like to have a little discussion about this damn country. It was +1 today, which for all us Fahrenheit people, thats about 33 degrees. It snowed all day. However, it was warm enough for the snow coming down not to stick, but rather melt on top of the icey slush that is already covering the ground. There is a lovely 1/2" coating of ice most everywhere, covered with anywhere from 0-2" of slush. This means that you slip everywhere. Why people settled in this wilderness is beyond me. Its so cold that all the strollers are completely covered, or sometimes have a little viewing hole. Its so cold that people don't want to expose their children to it.
It wasn't quite dark when my class started today, that means the days are getting longer! Of course, being not-quite-dark at 4pm is still quite sucky.
I had my EU class today. What it actually was, however, was an hour and a half of USA bashing. Of, I'm sorry that we can't take the EU seriously. I mean with great military powers like the UK and France, and with your largest army being Finlands, how can we not quake in fear of you? You did all those helpful things when we started the war in Iraq, like the Danes sent a submarine! How thoughtful.
The lecturer is from Manchester, and has a healthy hate of France as well, so that was nice.
I actually don't hate it here as much as it seems. I think I will like it more once it gets warmer, but I can't see myself being too sad to go home. If nothing else, I have learned that I am a Southern girl at heart, and that big cities and divergence from my daily routine is not for me.
