(no subject)

1) In Budapest and alive. So so so tired though. I only got to my room around 9PM, and then I moved furniture with my roommate until 11PM or so before crashing. Yesterday was busy busy busy from 8AM to 9PM. Today wasn't much better. I'm not even jetlagged, but I'm tired.

2) Photos forthcoming. Turns out my camera isn't compatible with macs. A bit of an oversight, but I'll use one of the school PC's when I find time. I've only taken a few so far anyway--the weather's been utter shit, so the lighting hasn't been fantastic enough for me to bother except for things that amused me.

3) My other pair of boots broke. A stone scraped a chunk of rubber off the heel, and now its all shaky and unstable and incredibly straining to walk in, which I had to do for a few hours yesterday. My right foot is in a world of hurt now.

4) Crazy American students are going out for a drink despite being dead tired and it's raining like the apocalypse out there. I'm going to sleep, thanks. I enjoy ditching my sobriety just as much as the next person, but I'm pretty sure all the rain would give it right back.

6) The 6 trolley is my new best friend. It stops both at Oktogon and LUSH. How brilliant is that?

I'm glad you arrived safely! It's probably for the best you stay in, you'll probably just end up spending the weekend feeling shitty instead of adjusting if you went out today.

I essscited for pictures!

Yeah, it's definitely paid off. I'm feeling really upbeat and alive now (I basically slept for 14 hours), and that's a lot better than most everybody else here.

So far there's literally two photographs (well, three since it was a pretty massive statue), and one of them is of a bus sign. But we're going on a field trip this weekend, and I'm taking the art/architecture class that'll surely give me a massive crop of photos, so look forward to that. :P

So excited for you! :D Stay in over the weekend I'd say, relax and then party next weekend. Looking forward to the photos. And wow, there's Lush in Hungary? This country gets even more interesting. First I discover they have Tesco, now Lush, what comes next? ;P

There's a LUSH almost everywhere, I think. :P Personally, I think they basically have everything; I even know my favorite shampoo brand is here (I've seen ads), though I haven't found a store that sells it yet. I'm going "out" tonight, just over to Andrassy to chill, not really anything intense, but there's some partying planned as a floor icebreaker on Friday night, so I'll probably join in on that.

One of our American guys got picked up by a few girls, and they're supposed to meet up this weekend, and they told him to bring his friends. In interest of his safety and a good time (but mostly his safety), we're thinking about all 20+ of us going along with him, so that might happen too.

Bummer about the boots! But I'm glad you made it there and moved in ok and everything. Is it long-pants or short-skirt weather? See you soon...

I am wearing short skirt+tights right now, and it's okay. It's chilly in the morning/evening (bare legs is a no; just a thin layer like tights do the trick though), but midday's warm enough that I ditch my jacket just for a tank. You really want the jacket for morning/evening though, it's definitely already jacket season.
