Nothing all that exciting happened today - I feel like I have been saying that a lot lately. My first class as you all should know by now was Art History - we continued talking about Ancient Egyptian art and I am still finding the class interesting. Today I was in complete amazement as my professor taught us about the pyramids. I still can not believe the pyramids where built so long along when they didn't even have the wheel - its unreal.
After Art History I met up with Lavi - she came with me to mail some more postcards. If you are lucky you might be recieving one of these postcards :) I just hung out with some friends and ate lunch - nothing all that exciting. However, I did get the chance to FaceTime with my mom today. She woke up very early her time and it worked out perfectly, because I didn't have class. Mom even got to shower this morning! I also going to see my puppy Sadie - she got confused when I said her name. Oh how I miss my puppy. I also had the great pleasure of saying hello to daddy when he was still half asleep - sorry about that dad. Love you.
When Elizabeth and Mary Kate finished classed we took a trip to SuperSol (the grocery store by campus) to buy lunch food, since it is expensive to eat on campus or off campus everyday. I bought a loaf a bread, jelly, crackers, and a bag of celmintines for only 6 euros. Also my friend is picking up Peanut Butter for me to make my sandwiches. I thought bringing my lunch everyday or most days would be a good way to save money. Also, Gloria is starting to give Maya and I the leftovers so that is also very nice.
Ethics was okay today. Some people in my class annoy me though. A lot of them just say things to either hear themselves talk or try to make a point but say something completely irrelevant to the subject. I don't really understand that. Today we got off on so many different tangents I couldn't keep up and by the end of the class I was more confused. After class I went and got sangria (since we can't go on Thursday) with some of my "old" friends and some "new" friends that I met today. I was very nice to have a change in some of the people I have been normally hanging out with - even though I like them. Sometimes a change is a good thing!
Gloria was not home for dinner tonight so Maya and I ate by ourselves. However, Gloria prepared the meal and we just had to heat it up and eat it. We had Mexican tonight - fajitas. They were amazing; I ate too much!! Gloria is such a wonderful cook, but not as good as you mom :) We had soy cheese to put on our fajitas - let me just say I miss my Wisconsin cheese A LOT!!!
Well I am going to go to bed early and get up and finish my reading for class; I don't have class until 4 either so I should have plenty of time. I have a meeting for my Morocco trip tomorrow at 2 so that is exciting! I will learn more about what we are going to be doing while in Morocco. I still can not believe Paris is only two days away! I know it will be an amazing time, even though there little concerns now - they will all get figured out though. Also only 12 days until I turn 20! Man, I am getting old!! That is all for tonight!
Paz y Amor. God Bless.
Toria,
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in Paris - it is a truly great city with so much history and sights! Our favorite was the Eiffel Tower, of course Jerry was interested in the construction! :)
Love,
Aunt Peggy
