Springtime and a Slow Week

Hey Everybody!

This week has been really slow news wise for me. I gave the presentation on Thursday to my Asian History class and preparing for that presentation has pretty much dominated my life since last Sunday. The topic was “Has Women’s Status in China Improved after Employment Reform?” and had me brushing up on resources during my free time. The presentation itself I feel went fairly well. I didn’t feel like an idiot in front of the class which was my goal.

Spring is very pretty here in Bremen. It actually looks a lot like Northern Kentucky, but after the months of gray, rainy days I have new appreciation for green leaves and blue sky. (My allergies are returning in full force though.)

I do have some very exciting news – My mom is coming to visit! She’ll arrive on the 26 May and stay till 14 June. I’m very excited to show her where I’ve been living and take her around to some of the places I’ve enjoyed going to.

I guess that’s about all I have to report for this week. This weekend I’m going to a cultural event at the University celebrating Africa, cooking with Maria, and cleaning my poor apartment which has been neglected for the past two weeks while I’ve run around like a mad woman.

I hope everything is good with you!

Love,
Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth! Glad things are getting back to normal again. I went to a Reds game with Andy's crew over the weekend. FUN! Mom is out at Maria's tonight. They are getting jewelry for Alex's prom. That's probably the big news at your family this week. Great news about Vicki making it over to visit. Enjoy the spring. Derby this weekend.See ya...
