So I can now officially say Mission Accomplished! I got lost. Yesterday. That's really all the details apart from the fact I broke a bottle of Lychee alcohol while on my travels. I was adeptly avoiding a gaggle of people when the shopping bag (from the only open shop- a Chinese MiniMarket) went far left and made a rather distinctive sound on a pointless small post. Of course I did not notice until I felt a bit like I had forgotten my potty training. After having tasted some from the remnants of the bottle before throwing it all away, I can say I was only marginally less disappointed at losing the wine than the fact it had dribbled on my pants (Those who have tasted some of my excellent choices of drinks in the past can relate).
Perhaps less importantly (cough cough) I started my first class today. Four hours from 9-1 with a short 20 minute break in the middle. It's certainly going to be interesting. The two teachers are very nice and from Granada. The second teacher is quite a character, her actual name is Africa, and it was her birthday today, so she was 24 even though she was born in 1966. So our homework from the first teacher is to write an essay about Seattle, and the second was to find a joke, of which I found this:
-A person calls the news to report that he had just had quintuplets
-The journalist responds, "Can you repeat that?"
-He responds "No, no, after five I'm done"
I know, absolutely hilarious. Say no more....
Also, I have finally met the other roommates, and they are all from Germany. One is studying law, the others language translation. So I practiced my two or three German words, made little to no sense, and then spoke English.
Additionally, I'm afraid I feel a bit sick and hurt my knee on a run yesterday but more importantly I have discovered that the best way to get back to my house is downhill. So the theory evolves.
Tomorrow I look forward to getting no laughs at my joke and having Cocoa Krispies for breakfast. Its the small things really...
