Good news

I received an e-mail from the University of Leeds, my back up grad school, and I got in!

Untimely

The good news is that I met a seemingly cool guy in the York student body who is really into libertarianism (market liberalism for you Europeans). He wants to start a forum with campus members to talk about similar issues. Oh how I longed for such an opportunity!

The bad news, of course, is that I find him 9 months after I leave York. =(

Sometimes I think that I missed some great opportunities in York. Nay, I know that I did. I wanted to learn fencing, meet more English people, and improve my German. But I spent too much time thinking about French girls and future grad schools.

I envy you guys who had a full year in York, and all of you who are continuing grad studies! 6 months just wasn't enough for me.

loooong time no contact!

Dutch children are happy children

"Why are Dutch children so happy?
By Kathryn Westcott
BBC News website

Dutch children have been rated the most fortunate children in Europe. Their parents go out of their way to please them, and teachers expect less of them than some of their European counterparts.

The Netherlands has come top of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrialised countries.
The study by the UN children's organisation, Unicef, looked at relative poverty, educational and health standards, sexual behaviour and the children's relationship with friends and parents."
