4 Days to CPH! G-1 Billion launch!

BANKSIDE, LONDON, UK -- Well, we are getting down to the wire! Happy December everybody. Yesterday I handed in my last piece of written work for this term, which felt great... from an academic standpoint I can now not have to expend so much energy, letting me focus instead on the COP15 and climate change. Four days until I am in Copenhagen, six days until the start of the COP15, and 13 days until I am back home. It's crazy to think it has already been well over 2 months since I've arrived here, but I am loving every second of it.

Good news: the G-1 Billion website has launched! My profile is currently the featured story (though it is changing by the hour, in which case my bio is listed under "Policy and Government"), and hopefully my first actual article will be posted sometime later today or tomorrow. Currently I am writing two additional articles in order to have three before Saturday, when I leave for CPH.

Weather update: I am seeing the sun right now for the first time in a week. Sports update: Chelsea smashed Arsenal 3-0 to keep a commanding lead on top of the table. Blackhawks return home tonight looking for 2 points.
