Hump Day (Wednesday)
Today had been just a typical day. I woke up earlier than normal and ate breakfast. For breakfast I usually scramble two eggs or have frosted flakes. Almost every time that I open a new egg carton there are always loose chicken feathers in the cartoon. Also the eggs are brown, not white. We had a housecleaner come into our apartment for the first time and it was so gross watching how much dust and dirt she swept off of our floor. We are having trouble with the washing machine. The washing machines are so weird here. They are so intense! I leisurely walked to class early to go the library to check out my philosophy book to read the first chapter since that was our homework. I am noticing that in philosophy there is no answer. It is not like science or math. Philosophy is just questions on top of questions. There is no right answer. In my chapter today they posed the question do we really exist our is life just mirage of imagination. After clasr I had a two hour break so I walked across the bridge to explore a little. I didn’t find anything too exciting especially since I did not have too much time because I had to go to class. Although the entire time on my walk I was thirsty because there is this lemonade stand right outside of school that looks amazing so I was waiting to get what looks like a fresh squeezed delicious lemonade. Sadly, it did not turn out that way at all! The guy got a lemon and then squeezed it right in front of me and then just added water. He then handed it to me and I paid my 1 euro. The drink was so bitter and no sweetener was added at all! No such thing as artificial sweetener. Such a disappointment I couldn’t even take more than two sips. Other than that escapade nothing too exciting today, class hasn’t gotten difficult and its weird being up close and your teacher knowing your name again. This weekend one of my best friends Jenelle is coming to Rome to visit and will be staying in my apartment with me. When I get back to SD she will be my roommate. She is studying abroad in Israel right now and has a month off for travel. She is in Greece right now so I will be her next stop! After class I have a cooking class and after the class we get to eat what we make. yuummmmuyyyyy

ReplyDeleteMalia! Your lemonade story was decribed to a tee!!(I think Mrs. Shane's English class paid off!) Have a wonderful visit with Janelle....please remember to always employ the "buddy system" when out and about; I will be anxiously awaiting the "results" of your cooking experience! I love you, Mom
