It's Tuesday!

This tasty import cost me about 300 Forints - which is roughly $1.75. I enjoyed it THOROUGHLY. I will try Hungarian brew tonight, maybe. I have yet to determine the bourbon status in this country, but if they have Bud, I am hopeful.

It is 5:50am and I have been up since 4am. I managed to get about 5 1/2 hours of sleep (on and off), which is the most I have gotten since arriving here. Yesterday was an unbelievably long day. I was up at 4:30 (go go gadget sunrise), and played on the interwebs until about 6. Then I showered, had some eggs and cocoa puff-like cereal for breakfast, and headed to campus. Got a white chocolate mocha at a place called "Coffee Heaven" - that cost about 1100 Fts. One thing I really like to say is to read the price of something as if it were US Dollars. It's about 170-80 Forints to the US dollar, so the price listen in Fts is not even remotely close to the actual cost in my head. But it's still funny to exclaim "1100 DOLLARS FOR A COFFEE??" and so I have been doing that (quietly to myself, or in the presence of other Americans). We had orientation from 9-10, intro lecture from 10:15-11:45, a 2 hour lunch break (which is when we journeyed across the bridge), then a session from 2-4, and another from 4:30-6pm. Jet lag hit me pretty seriously at about 3:30, and so I remember v. little of what happened in the last session. Fortunately, if was on Frankfurt - and I've done that before. After class, we went to the Arkad (the mall) and bought an ethernet cord and some water (and the Bud in the photo above). Bought a falafel pita at a stand by the bus stop (v. tasty), came back to the room, drank my Bud, and managed to fall asleep around 10pm.

Today is a shorter day - we only have session from 9am-4:30pm. I think I will have some pizza for lunch. Maybe I'll get a tasty cinnamon roll-looking thing with my coffee on the way to campus today.

Fa ra ra ra raaaaa, ra ra ra raaaa.
