The biggest even today was going to IKEA! Whooo. It was actually disappointing how expensive it was! Obviously I didn't need to go expensive because I'm only here for 4 months but I thought since it was closer to Sweeden it would be cheaper.. false.
I met with my "academic advisor" today who is actually a crazy irish man and literally talked nothing about school. For 35 minutes (during my 10 minute scheduled appointment) I learned about his dog Hector who chews his hat, his amazing pride for Ireland, and positivity. It was interesting but kind of a waste of time! It would be quite an experience to take his Irish poetry class with him (since he is an Irish poet!) but instead I get to take a class that is going to make us write 20-40 page essays! So stoked...
Finally got a phone and for 2 of us it took an hour! The Italian man helping us thought it was more important to flirt with us than to give us our phones and told us the best place to visit in Switzerland is Lugano. At the Orange store. When he's working. Very confident!! I like it! GOOD NEWS:: The hills are finally getting easier!!!
There was a BBQ tonight for all the students and at the end of it we were told that study abroad students look hungry and need food so they gave us 20 leftover sandwiches and a giant box of bread to bring back to our dorm! Success? yes!
Tomorrow is a tour of the castles at Bellinzona and I am super excited and can not wait to actually start taking pretty pictures of things! Lugano is beautiful but I want to get out and explore!
