so little time, so much to do..

Meghan and I had breakfast together Sunday morning before I went to the International Baptist Church with Cari and Sarah. Maybe I was just too tired to concentrate, but my mind wandered the whole time. Oh well, the worship/singing part of the service was still well worth my time. After church, I went to the laundry mat with Ricki. Some of her clothes from last weekend got really dirty, so I volunteered to go along with her (because she didn't know how to get there from the hotel). The rest of our afternoon was spent back at Cafe Pickwicks, where I was able to blog about the weekend in Berlin/Poland, upload pictures, and study for Monday's German quiz. Since we (Sarah, Cari, Ricki, and myself) were still feeling sad and slightly homesick because of the events of the past weekend, we decided to rent a movie from Pickwick's to enliven our spirits! We returned to the hotel after a few solid hours of productivity and proceeded to watch "He's Just Not That Into You." Definitely a good choice.

We began our Monday morning with another German quiz. I've decided classes on Mondays feel like an eternity, but I guess that's normal, right? I stayed at school for a few hours after everyone left to begin working on my research paper. I finished two pages, which was comforting, and then called my parents, which is ALWAYS comforting. I can't wait to run into their arms on December 3 :) Once I left school, I found my way to a local optometrist. My right eye has been noticeably red for the past few days. At first,  I just assumed I had broken a blood vessel or something of that nature. Since the redness was contained around my pupil, I figured I should be proactive and go to a doctor. This was my first international doctor's office experience! I won't lie, I was pretty apprehensive as I walked into the waiting room. I was afraid the doctor wouldn't speak English and would misdiagnose me. Basically, I was preparing for the absolute worst. Thankfully, he did in fact speak my language. Apparently, I have an eye infection and he prescribed me some antibiotic eye drops. Nothing too terrible. Afterwards, I had a pleasant run at the Belvedere palace, followed by abs and a shower. For dinner, 8 of us traveled outside the main city to a small Thai restaurant. I couldn't tell you exactly what I ordered, but it was SO good--spicy stir-fry type dish over rice. After an enjoyable and relaxing dinner, we returned to the hotel, where I was able to skype call with Kaylyn and then Megan, before heading to bed for the night!
