On Wednesday morning we had some lecture time at the college. Dr. Thomas and our group discussed the legal framework and systems that affect the non-profit sector in Hungary and the financial implications of endowments. We then heard a lecture by Fullbright scholar Dr. Eszer about the history and functioning of the EU and Hungary's current presidency. It was really interesting learning about the formation of the European Union and how exactly it functions.

Our 4-day weekend was sneaking up on us, and by the end of the day we still hadn't chosen which country we wanted to head to after class on Thursday. Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Poland? At 2:30am Wednesday night we finally made a decision. Sweden! We found a cheap flight, so why not? Daniel was the first one to book the flight. When Sarah tried to follow, she was told that the last ticket had just been purchased.... Daniel was going to spend 5 days in Sweden by himself! We all died laughing, and for five awful minutes Daniel faced a pretty bleak trip. Thankfully we eventually found that if we paid a little more, we could go too. So now we are all headed to Sweden this weekend!
