one month left. (sigh)

Hello all,

this will be a short post. I am nearing the end of my time here in Europe...one month from today I will be on a plane home :( But the problem is, I already feel like I'm home. But I can always come back, right? I did throw one coin into the Trevi Fountain (for a speedy return to Rome)...I just wish Copenhagen had a fountain like that...

Well, I'm off to finish my last two papers...then I'm going to focus my time on spending very little time indoors (studying) and more time in the beautiful, sunny weather that has finally arrived in my little city. I'm off to Bornholm, Denmark this weekend for a bike tour of the island. I'll try to update when I get back...I heard it's beautiful there.

Strike update: FOA (the nurses union) and many childcare and bus drivers are currently on strike. My visiting mom is the go to girl for her office...she tells which nurses who is working and who has the day off to strike. So she's still working, but totally involved in the strike. We walked together with her union during a women's parade celebrating 100 years of women having the vote. This Thursday (International Labor Day) I will be participating in her union's breakfast gathering and then walk with them to the central location where live music and tons of people on blankets in the grass will be all day. (I intend to be apart of that part of the day as well).

Life here in Europe is very good.

Miss you all!

Em
