The end of the week...finally...

Well...it's the last day of the long first week of college. Only two more classes to go, and then it will technically be my first college weekend! I think we all know that that means...sleep (who am I kidding...really)! There is a blues festival in town this weekend, so I think Thuli, Kadie and I will be checking that out tonight. That is, after our convocation...God knows what that means...and a dinner with our individual seminars (for those who aren't familiar with the lingo (honestly, like me) that is a class that usually lines up with the major that we want to pursue that brings people of the same interest in the same class together...got it? I know I just confused myself...).

I made a very interesting and quite disturbing observation yesterday...all of the citizens of Lugano hate us. I am not even exaggerating. I mean, we get stared at, honked at...WHY AM I HERE!?! I guess they all haven't met me! Haha...just kidding! Although, I am so lovable, not to mention such a great poster child for America...well...I won't take it that far. Anywho, I guess they all are like "wow, those rich American kids invading our town and getting in our way." I guess loans and grants sort of fly right over their heads. Whatever...it's pretty, I am getting an education, I will put up with the stares and honks. Lindsay Lohan does it all the time, why can't I!?!

Also, another observation, but this one I am kinda embarrassed to admit...there is a lot of reading in college. Whose bright idea was that?!? And for all of those that know me (which should be all of you reading this, cuz otherwise that would be kinda creepy...), reading really isn't my cup of tea. Why spend time couped up somewhere reading someone else's story when you can go and experience your own...all I'm saying. Anywho, I am impressing myself - I actually have done all of my readings for this week. I think it does help that I only know a few people here, cuz my ADD (allegedly) + other people + a city that I need to get familiarized with = recipe for disaster.

My lessons learned for week 1:

-Attempting to understand history from a German professor at 8:30am MWF...useless.
-Ikea is like a heaven on earth (why haven't I ever been there...I call that bad parenting?! just kidding! love ya both!!!)
-Our school's food is pretty fantastic...especially for a college! Homemade deliciousness everyday! Yesterday, some kinda of chicken with pasta and veggies...today I can only imagine the possibilities!

Time for Econ!

Ciao!
