The internet has come on promptly at 11am the past two mornings. Which is kinda good, because it gives me a chance to get SOME studying done before I get hopelessly distracted. But right now it's not necessarily the internet distracting me--it's the man next door who has his music on so loud and is singing with it, it sounds like he's in the next room. Good thing I like the music, it actually reminds me of the songs we sang at the youth rallys when I was in Poland
Shane is officially sick with a cold--runny nose and frog voice and all that stuff. He said yesterday in his class he wiped his nose so much that it started to bleed! Poor guy. We went and got some decongestant for him last night. I've slowly been catching what he's got, and I wondered if I was going to be able to get out of bed this morning. I've been pushing herbs down his throat but have forgotten that I should probably be pushing them down my own too.
I did get up this morning though, after discovering that the street market was going on outside again. As soon as I got ready I ran down to buy a spatula we'd seen last time. We don't have one and there are several things I want to cook that require a frying pan. I got a good-looking sturdy one for 2 Euro. I also saw some good-looking boots for about 30 Euro. Can't buy those right now though. I need a coat before I need boots. Since my white one got purple splotches all over it I'm embarrassed to wear it half the time, which leaves me with either my new red sweater or my green hoodie. Hoodies on girls are questionable here. I get looked up and down every day, regardless of how much I try to dress to fit in. Maybe it's my blonde hair and blue eyes. And I hope those looks are ones of admiration, but I have a feeling they're purely criticizing.
I've been meaning to post pictures of our apartment, but I'm waiting until all the laundry is off the floor. I've been doing laundry for the past 3 days and have only gotten 3 loads done. That's because (A) you can only fit about 5 shirts in at a time (B) the washer takes it's sweet time, and (C) the drying rack only holds about one load, and they take so freaking long to dry you couldn't put two loads on even if you had the space. Eventually I'll post some pictures.
I'd best get back to studying before I get too distracted by internet. I've made a goal for the rest of the week and I really want to impress myself by keeping it.
(Whaddya know, the internet quit again right before I got ready to post this.)
