I recently got to attend the inaugural Peter Wallensteen Lecture at Humanistiska Teatern. When I originally signed up it already had a waiting list, but I luckily got an email about a spot opening up just a few days before. The series is intended to honor department founder Peter Wallensteen and this first lecture was deliverd by Professor Mary Ellen O’Connell.

I’ve been a bit off the map with local activities. Partly because of the Mallorca trip, but partly because I was spending the last few weeks cross stitching furiously in all of my spare time. I had the idea to cross stitch a custom design as a Birthday present in April.

I visited Mallorca over Easter break, taking a couple of extra days off. It was my first trip abroad after moving to Uppsala and my first time leaving the cats with a sitter here. All went well on that front, which is very promising for future longer trips.
