After the end of my program, my parents came up to visit me in Stockholm, and we traveled around Scandinavia for the final week and a half of summer. I wasn’t trying as hard to photodocument this trip nicely, so you just get the lightly-explained photo reel of arbitrary things I did take pictures of.Continue reading “The Secret 10th Week”

There weren’t too many adventures this week, because it was the last week of my program and I was scrambling to tie up as many loose ends of my project as possible, prepare a talk for the end-of-summer symposium, draft a poster for the BMES conference, etc. My one concession to fun was taking offContinue reading “Week 9”

Goodness gracious is this one late, but I didn’t want to leave the summer unfinished, so we’re at least going to burn through Amsterdam and the final week of my program in Stockholm to tie up the loose ends of this little bloggy endeavor. We’ll see how much of Amsterdam I actually remember at thisContinue reading “Week 8”

After all of the last two weeks’ excitement re: LARP, and with a sprained ankle putting limits on how much I was willing to walk around, this week was a quiet one. On the work front, I spent it fighting for my life to make R packages play nicely together so that I could generateContinue reading “Week 7”

Welcome back! I know I said last time that this would be the Big Larp Update. But, before we can get into my week at Gimle, there’s a weekend in Stockholm that I can’t ignore or I would be leaving out my new best friend in Stockholm, Trouble! She is so very baby. ❤ AsContinue reading “Weeks 5/6”

I already told you last week what this one was going to be about, so there’s no point in prevaricating here. Let’s get into the Paris shenanigans! The journey to Paris started off well. Flights to Paris are fewer and pricer than to Barcelona for some reason even though it’s closer to Stockholm, but thatContinue reading “Week 4”

I didn’t go on a big trip this weekend, so it’ll be a shorter update this time around. My big exciting discovery of the week was Swedish pancakes, which you’re apparently supposed to have with lunch on Thursdays. They’re more like crepes than American pancakes, but a bit thicker and more substantial. I like them!Continue reading “Week 3”

…I know I said this would be about my second week in Stockholm, but now that I’m here looking at my photo reel, guess what I took more pictures of: 40 hours in a fancy office building plus chores and sleeping from M–F, or 67 hours in Barcelona? Anyway, my definitions of ‘week’ are gettingContinue reading “Week 2”

Not very surprisingly, my first weekend—week, really—in Stockholm was a bit of a whirlwind. After an unfortunate series of redeye flights that left me with an enduring crick in my neck even two weeks later, I landed on Friday morning at Stockholm Arlanda Airport with five of the other seven people in my program andContinue reading “Week 1”

Welcome to the real blog! Well, “real” for a certain value thereof since I don’t really know how blogs are supposed to work, but we’ll muddle along together. This post will cover the week and a half between moving off-campus back to Bainbridge and arriving in Sweden. Since I procrastinated writing this and it’s comingContinue reading “Week 0”
