Last week I had two exciting experiences: first, the Czech ambassador came and spoke to my class about the Czech presidency of the EU, and secondly I went with my class to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Czechs are going to focus their presidency on deal with financial crises, and issues regarding the Lisbon treaty. The Danish Foreign ministry was interesting, in that their spokesman indicated that Denmark looks first to the US for guidance, rather than the EU, a fact I did not know. He was full of useful information.
This week I had three midterms. Two were in Danish, one a brief written exam on the cultural readings we've had for each class, and one oral which was both brief and simple, consisting of a dialog to translate aloud and three questions apiece for a partner and me. Easy. Last was a 35-question, multiple choice test on the theory sections of my Globalization class. Also easy.

Not much going on here in the big K, apart from that. We're warming up for our week-long excursion to London and Brussels. We have a briefing about that tomorrow.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully a few pictures will be appearing soon.
