		<description><![CDATA[Somehow the fall semester has flown by and I’m halfway through my proseminar. It’s been rather interesting and, at times, unnerving.

		<description><![CDATA[More than anything it was curiosity that drew me to the Old Student Building on October 19.  I wasn’t invited to the event, but everyone was welcome.  I arrived at the building slightly after 9 o’clock.  The windows had mysterious purple lighting which immediately suggested it wasn’t just any ordinary weekday night. Earlier that evening [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After my Swedish lecture, I rush to the 6th floor of Metsätalo to my next class.  It’s hardly just another course among many this fall.  It’s the one I’ve been dreading for almost two years, ever since I understood what it was and how much work it was going to be. I’ve watched older students [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Idioms are often beguiling in their incomprehensibility. This is particularly palpable when learning or teaching a new language.

The questions, research and casual, that arise from a nation so wonderfully contradictory and attached to its past are copious [...]]]></description>
