Meeting the Moldovans

Today, we had our first Skype session with our Moldovan colleagues at ULIM.  We got to introduce ourselves and our research topic so that they could be thinking about who they would like to work with during our joint course.  They all seem very nice and excited to have us visit their country - especially Teo, who I'm pretty sure is a handful!

We also took group pictures outside at USFSP by the sailboats and the bull in front of the Student Center, which gave us a little time to get to know each other a little better.  I am really excited about this trip and think we have a really great group of folks.

I think Sebastian and I are going to become pretty good buds!

How to do Research

Wrapping up my second seminar paper on Moldova's European Union integration aspirations.  I was able to bang most of it out with only one coffee, but the last page required two.
