4 Days to go

Hi Guys

It's four days to go. Not to the ending of the world, nor to the start of a new world discovery, but to the end of my studies at Uni. On Friday afternoon I have my presentation of my Master's thesis, which's title is: "Citizenship in Transnational Societies - A Case Study of Indian Migrants in the Zurich Economic Area". Basically its a socialgeographic study on the integration of Indian citizens living in and near Zurich. Well, on Friday it's all over. I ask myself, what have I learned in these five years of studying Geography? Well, I have heard a lot about describing the world (this is what actually Geography means...). But I still have the feeling I know nothing.
What is much more important for the near future is my upcoming stay in Montpellier. In exactly two weeks, I will be in Montpellier attending French classes. I am going for the near-hard-core program. 12 Weeks in host-family with 5 days a week 4h of class in the morning and on three afternoons 2h of conversation class.
There is just one paradox. Although on the short run its much more fruitfull to invest into French, on the long run I really want to learn Spanish. I think spanish is such a nice language. It is much nicer than french (which think is a really elegant language) and it is tons nicer than English. Therefore I think I will be spending some time in Southamerica to learn Spanish... but these are still plans. In between I need to go back to India and see some more of this fascinating subcontinent. Ok thats for today.

Saludos desde Thurgau
