Classes started today.. Yikes. Franklin is going to be a totally different experience for me. I have written a single paper in college and it was one page long. In my lit class I have to write 2 papers, 4-6 and then 9-12 pages. Marketing a 6 page paper, Schlein class a 20-40 page paper and I don't know about Italian yet.. I am so scared for all of these papers! I have to remember that if I don't like the classes, I would have had to take them at SMU anyway so I have to take them regardless! Might as well take them in a foreign country.
Big excursion of the day: grocery shopping. We had to walk down the hill to the store and then walking through the store I had no idea what I was supposed to buy. Meat looks so strange in Switzerland and I had no idea what type of food I was buying. The only downside of grocery shopping is we have to carry all the groceries back to our dorm.
Shelaynes backpacking bag was packed with food and both of our bags weighed a solid 30 pounds. Thankfully instead of walking up the hill, they have built a train that shuttles you up and down for 1 franc.
Just imagine that hill for a 5 minute climb with a 30 pound bag of groceries. Amen for new transportation.
After grocery shopping we had risotto night with the study abroads upstairs. Claire made risotto, Jen brought bread, Esther brought mushrooms, and me and Shelayne cooked some strange sausage, zucchini and onions which actually turned out delicious! It was such a fun evening and a great bonding time.
Carrying our pan upstairs for dinner! Literally a pot luck. Took our own plates, forks, and pan with food! So great. Now time for bed since I have an 8:30am class every single day. Whoo!
