The Weekend
I'm glad this week is over. The classes weren't too difficult but long throughout the day. It will be nice to attend classes for roughly 4-5 hours a day instead of double that. The weather has been decent. Not too much rain and the sun actually came out yesterday for a while. I think I have an apartment lined up for next year with a friend of mine. His parents are successful doctors in the NY area and are Polish. It's very nice having him to translate and order things for me when there is the language barrier. The apartment his parents purchased is near downtown and is being built right now. I think it is going to be a 3 br for only the two of us so far. He wants to get a vehicle too, which would be very convenient. Yesterday I started with a little sore throat and now I have a runny nose unfortunately. Hopefully it will pass soon. I did some physics studying today but might take a nap soon. My apologies for the lack of pictures the last few days but class is not worthy of a photo. I attempted to do laundry today. By attempt I mean walk up to the laundry machines then leave because they were all full. Full from probably the night before because I strategically went early this morning to beat the weekend rush. I saw a classmate in there and we both were trying to figure out how to turn on the washing machine, unsuccessfully. They are fairly modern, with both washers and dryers but they have strange dials on them that are of an unknown purpose. There is a 3 page instruction manual on the wall that one day I will read when it is my turn to do laundry. Last night I probably had the best meal yet. It was tomato soup, salad (full of organic vegetables) and chicken. By my friend Fil's place there are many places like these. Where I live there are not too many food establishments except for a cheap and, in my opinion, delicious Italian place. Not too sure what I will do tonight but hopefully have a little fun then do some more studying tomorrow. I have a quiz on chemistry on Monday, which is not recorded or anything so it is mostly for us to see where we are. My number here is 514 071 599. Not sure of the country code but I'm sure Google knows. Call or text me if you want, all incoming messages and calls are free for me. Until next time!
