A trip to the city for a taste of home...

Classes started for most today, but not I. My schedule is as follows:

Monday: Nothing
Tuesday: Class from 9-1
Wednesday: Class 9-9:30 AM Field Trip at 1 PM
Thursday: Nothing
Friday: Nothing
Saturday: Nothing
Sunday: Nothing

I stayed up really late last night because, when I got back from Flower's room, I somehow had stolen some internet from the Sweeney looking building next door. I talked to HBoO for a bit with a dodgey connection and ended up in bed around 7 AM. I was awoken at 12:30 by the computer guy who fixed my internet..:-D

After a bit of much needed browsing about my favorites list, I talked to HBoO for a bit on Skype then went into town with Eugene. Our mission? An excursion to the local smoke shop to buy a hookah so that everybody would stop smoking hand-rolled cigarettes. My Americanism is infectious...

Afterwards, I took some pictures of the city...















We traveled into a pretty sketchy part of town and decided to stop for lunch at a local barbershop/pie place. Though the pies were delicious, the scary dissonant music and creepy owners singing all over the place weirded me out a bit. Here's a picture of my lunch, prepared by a Mrs. Lovett...
Yum..:-)

So Eugene and I returned, hookah in tow and we all enjoyed smoking something less harmful and infinitely more delicious than hand-rolled cigarettes. Score one for America..:-P

Tomorrow is my first day of actual class, I'll let you guys know how it goes...
