First day of class. Mild disappointment. I got the reading at the last minute from the university and spent much of Sunday trying to learn about the levels of EU bureaucracy. Unfortunately, not only was the level of the first class on the light side, I was asked by other students during the break if I think Americans are fatter than Europeans and why we eat dinner at 5:00 p.m. And yet again, the average age of students floats around 23.
Should I have been surprised? Probably not. Then again, this course was part of the Global Studies masters, and my Thursday class is in the "Advanced" International Business masters. Maybe advanced students will have more to say. Some of them wore suits to the orientation (hopefully because they have jobs, not because they wanted to make an impression). Or maybe I should just relax . . . (says the Portuguese to the American).
One thing I enjoyed during the 3 hour class. Our professor calls people from Luxembourg: Luxembourgeois! And here I thought they were Luxemburgers.

I didn't know "we" at dinner at 5 pm.
