TWO HATS

I have the luxury and challenge of wearing two hats this fall academic term. On one hand, I am thrilled and energized and boggled everyday trying to read about, understand and construct some meaning behind the European Union, International Relations Theory and nebulous and enigmatic concepts like Nationalism! I am furiously reading or taking notes or just plain thinking about the theories and their practical application and, making every effort to be social with 53 new people from all over the world!!


On the other hand, I get to work with an amazing group of students and fellow educators in the Wisconsin in Scotland program. This group of young people has been extraordinarily thoughtful and fun to hang out with - AND, they are quite diligent about getting their work done, conducting their self-led student meetings and participating in my Tuesday night seminars! I love it.












I KNOW I will look back on this time a year from now and say, how in the hell did I do it!
