The First Week

So Kristal and Summer talked me into doing a blog. I was super against it at first due to the fact I don't have a husband or a kid, but then I decided it would be a good journal for later. So here goes... I left Monday afternoon and arrived Tuesday night. Getting here was pretty easy, except we lost our freaking luggage and didn't get it for 3 days!! Super bugged about that. Anyway so far I love it! It gets better everyday. The food here is NASTY. Totally not a fan, however, I do love the chocolate. We have a castle right on campus, the Teleborg castle. It looks like Harry Potter. And there is a way pretty lake right behind that is so fun to go running around. I know my family would love running here, its so green and pretty! Yesterday, Addy and I went running and ended up getting separated. I was frantic and couldn't find here anywhere. I for sure thought she was dead or kidnapped, especially with all the horror stories everyone told us before we came! So I ran around the lake again, hoping to find her. Then it starts pouring rain and I thought maybe she would go back home, so I ran home and she wasn't there. I was freaking out and I ran back to the lake, looking all around. I still had no luck and at this point I'm crying thinking she's dead and Lori is going to be so mad at me because we split up. I ran back home again thinking we just missed each other. By this point I am soaking wet, and crying. I find some guy and ask if I could borrow his bike to go find my missing friend, I told him he could hold onto my ipod until I came back. That way he would know I wasn't stealing his bike. I think I was a bit dramatic... Anyway he told me I could and I started biking back towards the lake and I see her coming down through the trees. Haha once we both saw each other we started crying! Both of us thought the other person was dead! Looking back now it's kinda funny, but not at the time!
Today, we had a tour of the city and went to another castle. It was so pretty, it reminded me of the Counte of Monte Cristo. I loved it. Since we were on a tour with other International Students we only had 15 minutes to explore the castle, so I definitely want to go back. There was a lake right by the castle too, so many lakes here. They don't even seem real they are so pretty. They are so smooth with lily pads and bridges. Ah I love it. There's so much stuff I want to do and I'm so happy I was able to come here! Honestly I am surprised Addy and I have made it this far, we know the town pretty well i feel. But it's pretty small. Anyway that's all for now, here are my pics!
