Last night we went on our river and canal cruise. Basically, it was a party on a boat. I had been hoping for something *educational* but obviously I was the minority. I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't like loud noises, so I sat in the dining room of the boat, sipped my Fanta, and enjoyed all the beautiful buildings and fountains by the light of 'sunset,' or what passes for it here. I had been in dire need of a couple of hours to sit and daydream, and this fit the bill perfectly.
I got home and Lyuba immediately leapt on me with an offer of food. I told her no thanks, trying to to trouble her (it was eleven at night) and so she wandered back to her book. Then, in the kitchen, I found dinner laid out for me. What the????
I had better not get used to this.
I've been doing homework like a fiend in the nine hours a day I'm not at school or in excursions. That leaves about seven hours for sleep, if you move fast in the morning. We're all starting to look a little zombieish. Today we have a choice between a free evening or a movie, and I have yet to hear of one person who is going to the movie.
The computer I so distressed yesterday is still not working, but I don't know what to do about it and neither does anyone else. The people with laptops just use the internet cables from the broken computers, so that really hasn't taken down the count of the useable terminals.
I'll take some pictures of home and stuff over the weekend and post them tomorrow or on Monday.
Blergh.

I laughed out loud at your statement "I'd better not get used to this" Enjoy it while you can.
It is hot hot hot here! When it gets up to 95 in Oregon it is hot. But still damp from the previous rain, so we have humidity too.
Thanks for all the words & word/pictures. I check every day for more.
Lots of love & hugs & Cody says Wheeeheeehee, & Shae says whuf whuf whuf!
Hey Aubra,
Love the photos.
Is that real gold on the cathedrals?
Be well,
Barbara
Fabulous pictures of fabulous architecture, fountains and all! And I am glad that the program is taking you to all these nonacademic events.
Though I do a bit of partying now and then, I do understand the need to just sit and catch your breath. And in such a setting!!
Just one thing - do try to get ahold of that woman's costume - just the thing to bring back!!!
Love, Noni
It certainly sounds like you are busy. I hope you don't feel overwhelmed. I probably would, but I am such a wuss in such ways. I really like to take things at a relaxed pace, to take my time doing things. This is probably because I like to make sure I appreciate things I experience fully, and I have a difficult time doing so when I am busy.
