Is my life real right now?

That was the question I was asking myself as I walked to the bus stop at 5 am to catch the bus to the airport. Why am I going to the airport you might ask? Well, I am going to Geneva, Switzerland this weekend to visit CERN and hang out with the one and only science nerd, Kelsey Smith! We are going to have a great weekend. I can't believe that I actually get to see the largest particle accelerator in the world...for free (after travel expenses). I am ready to learn all about how it works! woo! Don't worry, lots of photos will be taken and I will tell you all about it. Just hold on until Monday!

I am especially excited about this trip after the week that I had. I actually had homework to do. I had a paper to write for my film class. I wrote about the Swedish crime genre. If you want to read it, I can send it to you, but it's 6 pages and not that thrilling. It would be more exciting to watch a Swedish crime movie! :) I can recommend some of those..."man on the roof" and "girl with the dragon tattoo" are good choices! I also had to prepare discussion questions for my Gender in Swedish Society class. That went well. I had everyone draw pictures of the material we had to read to present to the class. Then we had some questions to answer. I am just glad it's over with though...I also had to read for my two other classes and write a response to the reading for one of them. It was a lot to do on top of planning this trip. I would tell you I am busy over here but it's not the same busy at at Bradley. I don't spend hours in the library. Instead, I am busy sitting on the bus, or reading a book (for class usually), or planning trips, or hanging out with friends. I don't mind it at all, but class would be much more interesting if it was a science class! :) of course!

Well, I'm gonna get back to my busy waiting! I have about 1 hour before my flight leaves. Bon voyage!
