Massive Cleaning Party


This week is apartment visits where this lady, Catarina, checks out all the apartments to make sure we keep them clean. We get cards (green, yellow, red) depending on how clean the apartment is. 2 greens in row = a free pizza, but 2 reds in a row = 2oo euro fine to go to a cleaning service to keep the apartment clean. So we had a massive cleaning last night because our apartment visit is today. Hopefully it was already happened because we need to be able to cook dinner tonight, and I'm tired of tip-toeing around the bathroom. Also last night Julie's mom took us all out to dinner at a really nice restaurant, La Taverna. There were so many other Americans there, but the food was outstanding! Plus, we all got dressed up and had a fun and fancy dinner!

This week has been relatively uninteresting. Lots of homework and reading for class. I was under the impressive that study abroad classes were suppose to be a little easier because the teachers understood that, while you were there to learn, you were also there to experience the culture. However, I still find myself in my room, hovered over my desk reading hundreds of pages a day. Maybe hundreds is a little exaggeration, but its A LOT!
