Break and Back to School
So I haven't really done anything as of late. We had a few days off from school and we didn't go anywhere and we didn't do anything so I sat in bed and watched tv on the internet for 5 days straight pretty much, went to school on Thursday and then sat in bed again for 2 days. I have gotten up and taken a walk around town everyday because I get ansy and need to get out, but mostly I just sit around. Not a whole lot to do ya know? Unless you want to go out to the bar and drink, but that's expensive and gets old after awhile. I also have not been feeling the best for the past week, which also makes me not want to do anything. It rained for about 6 days straight, so my sinuses decided to go crazy. But oh well. I feel alright today so far, but the day just started. I haven't been doing a lot of schoolwork, but I did finish a book in French, which made me really happy. I have started another one on top of that which is just for fun. My reading ability is doing pretty well. So is my comprehension I guess. My speaking is atrocious. Oh well. Still have 6 weeks right? Jake and I finalized our after the program travel up through the 25, Brussels then Amsterdam. After that is still up in the air. The places I would really like to go to is Berlin, London, and Ireland, but we'll see what we get to. I am going to Spain on Tuesday (we have a holiday for Armistice Day) to visit the Salvador Dali museum and then going to Prague on Thursday, and the Paris again Nov 28-30th, so hopefully I am feeling better by then. And back to school for real on Monday, though supposedly the tram workers are on strike on Monday, so maybe I won't be going to class. We'll see. Alright, well that's about it for now. I am enjoying having the internet a lot, but it's really enabling me to be a homebody. But my friends are all doing about the same thing. We are a lazy bunch of people no? It's all good though. Our coffee maker broke, which was hard at first but then I decided to lay off the caffeine for a little while, so now it's ok. I also learned that our utility bills come out of the security deposit that we paid in the beginning of the semester, so woo...one weight off my mind. And I got my scholarship from the Liberal Arts college, so I have a little leeway. I am trying to save a little money for when I go back so that I will have some money to survive on until I can find a job. I figure I need enough for a couple of months because I should be able to find a job in that time right? Right. I also got the package from my parents with my hoodie and gum, and my hoodie smells like home. Which is different than how I remember it being, though I still identified it as home. Weird right? And gum is like 4 euros a pack here, and I missed gum, so they sent me some. NICE! Alright well that really is all for now!
