This week is reading week, so no classes. And no, for those cynics out there, that's not why I think I'm a lucky person. Ha. I may have thought that during my undergraduate years once or twice, but not here, not now.
One of my classmates had several of us over to his town for a walk through
the countryside then dinner with he and his wife (and a dog named Barack, no joke! No relation to the 44th President-Elect, but still, I loved it). It was such an amazing afternoon! As the eight of us were getting ready to catch the bus home, one of them said: "I learned more spending this afternoon with you all than I would have reading 100 books." It really did capture what my life has been like the past two months. I'm learning so much about different cultures- let alone everything I'm learning about peace studies. I feel really lucky to be spending a year with these great people. We always have a great time, and we're all very respectful of each other's cultures. Can I stay here studying peace for more than a year, please???? I don't want this year to end.
Remember, lots more photos are in my photo page, there's a link to the left, under "Hannah's Favorite Links" Enjoy!
