Hello!
Today was quite a nice day. Woke up early this morning—I keep waking up early, I don’t even seem to need an alarm clock any more. I don’t remember the last time that it actually buzzed. I originally woke up at 3:30am for some reason, but then feel asleep until 5:50am. Then I got up and thought that maybe Soraya would be online, and indeed she was so I talked to her and Mom for a bit with AIM. And Cary and Matt too, so that was cool. Good way to start the day. J
It was one of my long days today—but that’s all right, kept me busy. I had Western Civ first, two-hour lunch break, College Algebra, and then English. Mostly I was very bored through all three classes, I’m afraid. Western Civ was all right. In math we’re working on solving equations… it’s a bit boring. But I’m doing really well! I definitely aced my last quiz. People were just giving more presentations today in English and I did my homework (which was a reading assignment on the bubonic plague/Black Death in the Norton Reader, it was really good) while people were presenting. Many of the presentations were repeats; different people, same essay.
After English I marched myself and my three packages (!!!) and two letters (!!) down the hill and to my dorm room, where I promptly opened them. From Oma I received a small case of popcorn; from Baba Amir, Guity and Ladon I received a one-person coffee service (which was quite adorable); and from Erin/Soraya/Lauren/Virginia I received many, many wonderful gifts! Included among them was a bear built by Erin/Soraya/Lauren to look like David (picture included above), and the cutest apron I’ve ever seen made by Virginia. Thanks everyone! I loved everything! I think the other kids would happily vote me most-loved-if-counting-by-number-of-parcels-and-letters-received. Oh, they made me so happy! It was the highlight of my day.
Sometime after that I went up for dinner. It was a not very exciting day for dinner; if anything I’d say it was a bit of a letdown. I ended up eating some sautéed potatoes, a small salad, and two slices of bread; but I wasn’t super hungry. Note to self: don’t try out the Swiss hamburgers (bad idea).
I start my training as a writing consultant/Writing Center staff member tomorrow at 10:30am. Hopefully that goes all right. And it sounds like I might actually be heading to Munich this weekend! Either this weekend or next weekend, but it’s sounding more probable that it will be this weekend. Keely, Kyle, and I are trying to organize ourselves into a little group. Keely and I are going to go into town tomorrow and figure out the car rental. Oh and I cleaned my room again today. Seriously, it seems like that’s all I ever do. But in such a small space, it’s easy for a big mess to form rather quickly.
I’m so excited for Munich! I hope it really happens. And then Sicily is just in a couple of weeks! I need to go to the post office tomorrow… Hey Soraya—have you received your package yet? I wish it wouldn’t take so long…
Thanks again everyone for making me feel so loved!
Why are the cars honking again?
