DAY 29: MY LUCKY DAY

Today was another relatively uneventful day, except for one event (does that make sense). We had class in the morning. We learned about business differences between cultures. Being a business management student, I found this pretty interesting. After class, that’s when it happened. Bo and I were walking to the bus stop outside of the University we study at and I saw what I thought was a big red leaf floating down to the ground. I looked at it, watched it hit the ground and then realized that’s not a red leaf. That’s a $20 bill. (Insert cash register noise). Had this been America and had I not been studying abroad trying to pinch every penny possible, I would have stopped and made sure it wasn’t anybody else’s. However, this wasn’t America and I am a poor college student. So, I just picked it up real quickly and kept walking like nothing ever happened. Meanwhile, Bo was just staring at me in disbelief. I figure it is God’s way of helping me out. Right?

Anyway, after we made it back we went on a hill run. I have mentioned before the giant hill in the park we have across the street. The thing kicked my butt today. It was a good workout. After that pounding, I went back and did some laundry and started packing for my weekend trip (be proud mom). Tonight was Nick Birk’s turn for making dinner. He made a delicious cheeseburger casserole and Caesar salad. We were more than full.

With a full belly, we then watched State of Play (starring Aussie and my favorite actor Russell Crowe) and baked brownies. I know I have mentioned that the ovens here are terrible so we ended up with Chocolate Cobbler. I’m not complaining. It was a chocolatey mess of deliciousness. By then, it was time for bed. I can’t wait for this weekend. I probably won’t have the chance or time to blog until I get back so my next entry is supposed to hold you over until I get back. Hope you enjoy. Until then…

Cheers!
