Who's Watching You

After lots of pressure from the international community I've decided to make this blog in English. This of course leads to a lot more self inflected censure due to that more can read it, but anyway. This day began with a so called sleepmorning (this is a direct translation from Swedish, you probably get the idea). After this you walk up like a zombie, pale and drowsy. Todays guest speaker is James Woolsey, former chief f the CIA or something like that. And also its very close to his birthday so the professor decides to surprise him (like he does every year). This means a cake. After this "very unexpected" surprise shout when the speaker comes in he begin speaking about the cold war and the difference between the Soviet threat and the new one in global terrorism.

Suddenly he begin to talk about the US dependence in oil and about new electric cars and hybrid fuel and such. Very shocking. Due to a tight schedule he just grabs a small pace of cake and runs out. The rest is up to us for consuming. After one bite most of the class disappear and i t leaves around five students with a huge portion of cake to eat as the professor keeps telling us that we are young and can eat more. Those of you who where around Martins birthday know how much I love sweets and that it is very easy to talk me into take another bite. I took three. Very good cake with a taste of lemon if I remember correctly. The leftovers where taken to the black hole of "fika" (the Swedish term for having a snack and not the German word that could be mistaken for fika and means something completely different) that is the teachers lounge. At least I didn't need any lunch.

After this long break it was time to return to foreign policy models. Very interesting. Now we're entering new territory. Very infected debate over some issues about public representation. The whole idea is that depending on who has control of foreign policy and taking some standpoints, you are able to predict how that country are going to react, if they are in control that is. This leads up to the Swedish remark of the day that Sweden with its "military" leader would nuke anyone that threatens them aka when Nikas the first takes over. Then come the fun part. The professor tell us that he's dividing us into three groups and and begins reading up names from a list for the internship interview. Later he takes this people outside and in to another classroom while we divide us between the rest of the list.

Later when he comes back he again hold a cake box. First thought is that its still the same one, but I'm all wrong. This is a new cake. A chocolate cake (most of you know how I love chocolate) to those who had birthdays in August and September. The funny thing that they are sitting and doing the work the professor gave them while we are preparing a surprise for them. When they come back they became quite surprised. If it was for the cake or the fact that they had done a lot of work for nothing I don't know. Very much socializing and here I even heard that some have read my blog. Unfortunately for them they didn't understand everything (this was actually the one from Texas who told me that he got the parts of the nonconservative from Texas and much other things translated from his Norwegian roommate) so there you have one of the reason this is in English. The leftovers this time was distributed around so the German got the box that we tried to give away in Capital Hall (after I had taken another three bites) and no one wanted it so we left it in the lounge. Very funny though, cause many just ran away from it saying it looked so good, but that they couldn't eat it (mostly girls if you hadn't guessed it already).

Dinner together with the Norwegians and the German girl at Guapos. Not a fun moment. Due to very heavy check on the girls ids that are rejected because they are European makes the whole dining party quite annoying. The American readers are advised to look away. This fuel the discussion on the rules of the visa application process, the strange system for applications to law schools and schools in general. Also the German ravage on about her seemingly embarrassing professor. Everyone in Civil law knows the first problems she describes in languish obstacles. She put his English as crappy. Another thing is that when they had a guest speaker from the World Bank, he put forward a question about if there was a possibility for the world bank to lend money to wall street (or something like that) to fix the financial crisis because many people (as himself) had their savings there. Hopefully you get the idea. At least it was a good meal. My first meat meal for a long time.

Hope this change is alright with everyone. If it isn't, please give me a note and I work something out.
