So I may get a $500 dollar scholarship just for being a female "interested in" swedish culture. I just have to submit a 250 word essay about the benefits of learning about other cultures. I'm living in a black hole of Scandinavians. Our boats for crew are named things like "Valborg", "Herland" and "Grodprosses" or something (which means "frog princess," I'm told). The place they served catered meals for special occasions here is the Scandinavian Center. (I laughed every time I saw the sign advertising for the dinner for the students of color's families in there....)

The Wind Ensemble is doing a Maslanka (a la Hell's Gate, for any of you who weren't in band) piece this year, and he's traveling over here to work with them in another few weeks. *sigh, tear* Apparently it's a fairly new piece... I can't remember the blasted name just now though.

Tomorrow is Belgian Waffle day at food service. YUM!

Anyone going to be home for Thanksgiving?
