Registration completed - I am now officially a SIPA student
Have been ‘busy as an ant’, as we say in Denmark (or something close to that, at least). This week has been quite hectic; trying to (re)learn math at a frantic pace, only to realize I just am not a math genious. Very far from it, in fact. Also, choosing courses has been the thing to do this week. I ended up with
-Econ. Micro and macro
-Conceptual Foundations (mostly international politics, I think)
-Professional development (learn how to get a good job)
-International Law (I think it’s a tough course, but am looking very much forward. Finally, I will know something and really, really know it ![]()
-Theoretical Overview of Conflict Resolution (I will do a whole program in confl res)
Am quite happy with that! I really am going back to school!
It’s a funny feeling to suddenly be here in the midst of it all. When I walk my way from the Columbia University subway stop to SIPA, through the impressive campus, I sometimes stop to think “Wow, there’s no place I’d rather be!” (but there are a few people I’d rather were here).
The surroundings, resources, profesors, fellow students, courses, concentrations, attention is all exeeding anything I’ve ever been academically in touch with before. I like it. A lot!
Ok, no more rambling. Am planning for a few drinks this weekend. Soccer! Going with my landlady to her countryside-house and help with some stuff and just enjoying New York, and enjoying that I don’t have ‘homework’ for the last time i months!
Now, will embark in either Shalimar or Journal of Int Affairs. Doesn’t really matter: exhaustion will probably close my eyes soon.

Thank you Jakob.
Was just thinking of you…and fortunately there was news. Great you like the challenge you get…but what happened to living conditions? Are you still in the same flat and can you stay??
Sending all good wishes
