a cool spring day

Today was very Eugeney. Wet and drab and cool and fresh. I'm taking a four-day long, 16-hour class called Internet Governance by guest lecturer Wolfgang Kleinwächter. So far the topics have been: the history of international communication regulation and the internet, ICANN and IGF. In the afternoon, I went to the European Youth of Tampere's panel discussion on Turkey. (From FB page: "Turkey - a shelter or a storm? A superpower with multiple identities, situated between the EU and the Middle East, a NATO member and yet also a country with a large muslim population - Turkey clearly has a major impact in the world politics. What is happening in the Turkish politics today? Will Turkey form closer ties to the West and the EU due to the Arab Spring? What kind of an impact can it have on the Syrian crises or the future of Middle East?")

Later in the day, I ran on a beautiful neighborhood trail. Past tree after tree to my left, I admired the nearby lake covered by a thin layer of ice. I'll miss this deeply, but I can't allow myself to ignore the other beautiful places in this world.

Oh, and I decided to bring life into my room:
