In my last week in Denmark I'm writing two final papers, one for Tue Nexø's Comp Lit class on Welfare State Literature and one for Erik Skyum's class on Short Story Theory. The latter is being written in Swedish, and I can say two things: 1) It's shocking how hard it is to keep the two languages straight, after having spent the last five months immersed in Danish, and 2) it's humbling how many errors in Swedish that Danes can discover when they proof-read your text. Flight is Friday back to the States, after which a end-of-quarter party with the UW grad students is planned. Next week the Apple Developer's Conference in San Francisco.
