Yay! It's Friday, and the clouds in Budapest have parted! It's sunny! Even though I'm pretty burnt out from this week, today is a great day! For French class we (our professor Judith with all two students- Rachel and I) went to a restaurant. We read the english translation bits of the hungarian menu, told Judith what we wanted in French, and she ordered in Hungarian. So many languages! Of course, I only know about one word in Hungarian- köszönöm (thank you). It comes in handy, though. A lovely day and a lovely meal that was paid for by UD because it was technically a field trip. Bon.
The weather this weekend is also supposed to be nice, and I am very appreciative. On Monday, we're going to Esztergom & Visegrad (no class on my birthday!).
Once again I'm staying a bit after class to use the internet at school. I miss reliable wifi.... Back at the apartment, I keep wanting to look something up every time I have a question and I can't. The lack of internet, the fact that no one in the group other than myself has a cell phone, and the fact that Hungarian VH1 shows nothing but music videos- from the 80's and 90's- makes me feel a bit as if we travelled back in time a few years. There is something kind of nice about it.
