Where "economists" rule

As many of our loyal readers know, H is currently attending the Stockholm School of Economics on exchange. The main building for the school lies in between our apartment and the Stockholm City Library, which (as we've mentioned) lies only half a block away from us. That puts the SSE practically next door.

Like so many Stockholmian buildings, the SSE evinces a rather ponderous and solemn aspect. But at least it isn't one the grotesqueries which sometimes pass for university buildings these days.

Fee fie fo fum. I hear knocking a tiny someone...

Our apartment is only a bit off to the "left" in the above photos. And speaking of those photos, who is that tiny-seeming someone before the massive doors which admit only the economically initiate?

Bwa hah hah! It is all mine!

It's amazing how big architecture makes you feel small. And that's no mean feat when it comes to my big, bold, beautiful wife. Even in this photo, the massiveness of the building fails entirely in preventing H from owning the place. And who's gonna' stop her? Certainly not me, certainly not the architecture--and I seriously doubt any SSE student would represent more than a speedbump on her path to global dominion.

Incidentally, if you ask really nicely in the comments, I bet y'all could convince H to explain the "Female Economist of the Year" award. Worth a try.
