And so I sent them back into the great big wide world...

Quite the day today; it's been a long one with many ups and downs. I got up early this morning and went and had breakfast with Baba and Angi at their hotel at 7:20am. When I pressed the button to call the elevator down, it opened with Baba in it. It was nice to take advantage of breakfast that early--there weren't a bunch of other people/tourists there. Mostly there are many Americans staying there, and so they have a lot of people show up for breakfast about the time they're closing breakfast down at 10am. It was an excellent breakfast. After that Baba and Angi drove me up the hill (hooray!) to classes. I showed them around a bit more of the school that they didn't see when we walked up the first time. Then they considered buying Franklin College sweatshirts, but didn't. Then I said goodbye to them, and they left and I went to German class. It was quite surreal. Just like saying goodbye to everyone at the airport was surreal. So that was a bit sad, but it was all right. Back to life as normal in Switzerland.

I went to German and Marketing then skipped lunch and hopped down the hill, where I promptly took a nap (for some reason I've been quite tired this past weekend--too much walking, perhaps?). Then I went up to yoga eventually, then after yoga I did some reading for Western Civilizations, then I met up with Keely and Deniz and we had dinner. Tonight it was "pork steak" with mashed potatoes, green beans, and a very delicious gravy with apple bits in it. The pork was very, very, very tough. I didn't really eat it--it was too much of a task. And now I'm back down here.

It sounds like Keely and a couple of other kids are going to go to Munich this weekend for Oktoberfest, so I'm trying to join up with them. They're going to be driving there, which is the fastest and cheapest way to get there. In any case, it would be super nice to have someone to drive me there, as I can't drive stick shift. Goodness, that should have been on my list of to dos before I left for Europe. Ah well.

I thought I had lost my laundry card earlier today, which would have been incredibly unfortunate and expensive. But I just found it again a few minutes ago, thank goodness. I REALLY need to do some laundry. I'm slowly running out of clothes to wear... At least warm weather clothes. Although the skies have been threatening rain (and sometimes holding good on their threats), it has still been quite warm, so that I'm sweating by the time I get to the top of the hill. I feel like I should be winded any more when I walk up the hill, but I still am. Actually everyone I walk with is too--that's not bad is it? Does that mean something?

Well I'm going to go attend to my laundry now. I'm planning on posting some more pictures this evening too, so keep an eye out! Miss you guys!
