Preamble.....

I don't really want to update this before I actually get closer to the trip, but I figured I'd post some links; just so I can have them in one place.

(Course website for my "Life in the EU" class)

http://www.ccsa.cc/

(Official website for the group Belmont does study abroad with)

(My MB professor's biography courtesy of belmont.edu...funny, that version is shorter than the one he included on his syllabus.)



Readings for the Life in the EU class

· Pinder, John. 2001. The European Union: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN: 0192853759; $8.96 Amazon (required)

· Temperton, Paul. 2001. The UK and the Euro. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons. ISBN 0471499552; $29.96 hardcover only, Amazon (required)

I have to order those online- neither Borders nor B&N had them. Tragic.


That's all for now....I'm becoming quite excited about this trip! I even watched that terrible new Britney Spears "Chaotic" show just to see London in it...Anyway, I have to survive my wisdom teeth surgery before I even get to go on this trip, so hopefully that will be alright!
