First off, I'm glad I got this far. Everything about setting up a google/gmail account is in german (incl. this page) and I can't find the "english" button. Also, does anyone else notice that the little ads that automatically pop up (i.e., like on facebook) are location appropriate? I.e., meet sexy swiss singles now!
Anyways, I'm in Geneva along with Catherine, Andi, Wei Yuan and Sarah. It's been a lot of fun so far. Clare would be proud of me: I organized an impromptu family dinner for participants in the Duke/HEI program who live in my building and it went well, was fun and people actually came! B/c of food restrictions (gluten, veggie...) we served stir fried veggies and rice. To be environmentally friendly (Carlos and Frank would approve) everyone brought their own plate/utensils and we served everyone up a portion of rice and veggies. It was really nice. (But in a strange way reminded me of those posters of monks feeding the poor -- hmmm...)
Now that I don't have school to stress about, I've started worrying about the Euro Championships...i.e., will Holland (my team) beat Russia on Saturday? Will I find a TV screen (I will be in the mountains)? Will my fellow hikers understand my urgency to find a TV screen...etc. etc. It's a little ridiculous, but I've just really gotten into it.
Anyways, my internship is going well. I'm quite busy, but finally feel like I'm settling in. It's a nice feeling.
Ciao, Pam.

I feel your pain regarding the Euro. All of the matches are during the day here when you take into account the 8 hr time difference. So unfortunately I only get to watch on the weekends (but thankfully have access to a TV with cable in the house where I´m renting a room). Since my favorites (Portugal) dropped out, I am adopting Croatia and Spain. But may the best team win, I guess. It must be exciting to be right there in the middle of all the action (I envy you quite a bit).
