Research Stuff and Future Travels
Well, I finally finished all the reading I had to do for my Czech trip coming up in a few days, and I sent off the paper to Dr. Butterfield. I can't believe how much I had to read for that, but it's interesting because my opinions on post-communist and authoritative systems are no longer what they were a few weeks ago because of all the reading, although I think I was most influenced by Huntington and Elster.

I leave for the Czech Republic in two days (Thursday), and for some reason I really don't want to leave home now that I've gone through all the work to move to this new place. I guess part of the problem is that I never really had a chance to live in my new place without having to do serious research while here. A few days of just sitting back and watching TV hasn't been an option yet.

I am, however, looking forward to seeing Prague. I've never been there before, and this may be the last chance I ever have to visit the place.

Stumble It!
