We all passed out last night after we got home, and slept in, which was GLORIOUS. I read in bed for a while after I woke up, migrated to the couch in the living room, and ended up finishing my book.
Went for a run with Julia and Olivia around campus, but I think the dust and the dry air got to me, because my chest got really tight and I had to stop. Only the second time I’ve run since I’ve been here, because it gets dark at 6, and the combination of getting home from work after 5 and not being allowed out after dark severely limits our ability to exercise. Clearly, I need to find a better solution to this situation before I turn into a huffing and puffing blob, as evidenced by this morning.
Sat around chatting after breakfast. We got around to showering eventually. Also, tried my first passion fruit! – They look like alien guts or something on the inside, but they have really good flavor. We finally managed to drag ourselves over to the News Café to access the supposedly free wireless. Instead, we were informed that they were out of codes for the month, so we ended up buying coffee and feeling slightly jipped. Oh well. It was still glorious to have a cup of REAL coffee. Clearly I have let my coffee addiction get more out of hand than I realized.
Came home and had left-overs and fruit with peanut butter and pralinutella (it’s a combination of nutella and praline flavors, SO delicious) for dinner. New discovery of the day: German candy store names must be pronounced with a Sean Connery-esque “sch” sound (just imagine it, you’ll think it’s as funny as we did). Watched When Harry Met Sally, because somehow Julia and Olivia had made it this far in life without seeing it (not sure how that’s possible). Planned weekend trips for the rest of our time here – itinerary TBA.
Basically, we accomplished nothing particularly monumental today, but we had a lot of fun just sitting around talking. I guess that’s what the weekend is for, after all.
