Lazy Night Equals Early Morning


Yesterday, I woke up a little earlier because I had a skype date with my entire apartment back in SD.  It was nice to see my friends and I can’t believe they haven’t started school yet.  It really an advantage having a quarter system because I am only missing 1/3 of my schools year opposed to everyone else here who has to miss the ½ of the year.  Later, I had school because it was a make-up day so I had class until 5.  After class I came home exhausted because I woke up early to go on a run so I planned on going to bed a little earlier.  Tara and I went to the market to buy some food for dinner.  At the market all of the produce is really fresh and a lot cheaper than in the US.  In the super market there is no such thing as a frozen food section.  Everything is fresh.  I got some bread, pasta sauce, chicken, pepper jack cheese and mozzarella cheese and green beans.  We came back and made a delicious dinner.  Our apartment was quiet since a few of our suitemates went to Florence for the weekend.  Tara, Carly and I then put our beds together and watched a movie and fell asleep early.  I woke up this morning well rested and went on a mission to find a hair straighter.  I knew of this electronic store across town and I was determined to find it.  I put my running shoes on since they are my most comfortable shoes to walk in and walked outside to a very overcast day.  I finally found the electronic store.  The electronic store had everything you could possibly need including, tv, microwaves, washer drier, kitchen appliances, and stereos.  Everything you could possibly want in one store.  I found the straightners and picked out the one I wanted except everything was behind glass.  At he back of the store there was a line of men just standing in a line so I went to the front of the line and directed the first one in line to the hair straightner I wanted.  He wrote me a receipt with the code number.  I then had to go wait in another line and hand someone my code number.  That person went back into storage to pull out my straitner.  I was finally handed my straight and went to the cashier to pay.  I rushed home to straighten my hair because it has been messy and curly for the past 20 days!  It worked great and it feels good to have my hair done finally!  I just ate some crackers and cheese for lunch and am now just anxiously awaiting the arrival of Jenelle!

  1. Hi Malia, YOU think that YOUR hair has been to messy and CURLY?!!!! We are having some overcast days too and don't get me started on my hair.....! It was so great talking to you this morning; I am anxious to try some of these cheeses you've been talking about. Also, is there only expresso coffee or is there tamer coffee drinks like a starbucks? My Italian class is getting me SO excited to get over there to explore with you! Take Care and be safe! Love, Mom PS Hang on tightly to your purse, right?
