Restful Weekend, Necessary-Day 16 & 17
Since our tour was cancelled due to not updated blogs, we stayed in Chur for the weekend. I had the chance to sleep in for a change. I was actually happy about that, plus got to chill around the school for a change. Some of the other students went to Lugano so the school felt like a European ghost town. Adrienne and myself were in the computer lab blogging and chatting then decided to take a hike, literally. We invited Gia, Adele, and Shevarma to tag along and we all had fun.
We took a hike trail near the school with our Gore-tex shoes as usual. The traction from the shoes really helped while keeping balance on the sloping hills.
After the hike we went back tot the school for some takeout. Sophie recommended a pizzeria in Chur that delivers to the school. We ordered 2 pizzas, one with bolognese and peppers and onions. The other was plain ans we all devoured each piece easily. Lilliana came down later after we did our text book work and we ordered a next round of pizza plus chicken nuggets and fries.
We talked about dating and past boyfriends and what life would be like here as opposed to New York City life. I liked both end of life so I wasn’t able to choose. I liked the quiet country side of living yet still like the night life if the city. Later on I did some blogging then called my boyfriend. I used a swisscom phone card which gave me more than enough time to talk. I went to bed ready for another chance to not get up early.
The next day I woke up around 9:30 and cleaned my room. I went down to the computer room and checked my email. After a while I was by myself and continued blogging. Soon Adrienne came down and told me that the chef offered breakfast and wanted me to tag along. I was grateful for it because they served bacon and scrambled eggs which was the closet to an American breakfast I’ve had in ages.
I didn’t realize that I did anything wrong when I told Prof. Blake-Neis about it and she told me that they weren’t contracted for breakfast that day, only dinner. I had a discussion with both profs. for not obeying rules again. I started feeling like the black sheep of the group. When they asked Adrienne to talk about it, I felt worse because I didn’t want to get her in trouble.
Later on, I called my sister for advice and she told me to sit tight and just enjoy the trip for what it’s worth. I agreed with her and did some more blogging. Soon enough, everyone came down and was on the computer. We had to move to the other computer room designated for us to continue our work. While inside, Prof. Blake-Neis returned our textbooks, and I took a few of them to return them to the students up stairs. I felt too weary, physically and mentally to return to the lab so I wrote down my blogs until I turn in for the night.
