Turning Legal in the US via Europe

Monday we had a visit to the World Trade Organization-not one of our better visits (not surprising though it's econ) Then we had class and it went over by about 40 minutes. After class we ran to the grocery store for our weeks worth of groceries. All in all a very exciting day.

Tuesday was a day off from classes (I know it had already been a rigorous week) unfortunately it was spent catching up on work and starting new assignments, along with some other tasks such as picking classes for senior year and planning the upcoming vacation.

Wednesday was my 21st birthday! I woke up and had some delicious oatmeal while watching The Office, 30 Rock, basically did everything but the work I was planning on doing. I had some lunch and went to class-another riveting session with professor Kott. After class I booked a hostel for Friday night and played around on the computer a little bit more, then Melissa came to ask if I would go grab a bottle of wine with her and everybody was waiting downstairs to surprise me! I got some chocolate and a swiss mug that everybody signed, some Swiss playing cards, champagne and a chimay blue! Then we all headed out for our class dinner at the much talked about (by Shain) Bain de Paquis. I had had my lovely chimay on the way to dinner so I was feeling good. Dinner was salty but delicious and included some cake at the end-oh and wine. Then we went to try and go to this bar I'd heard about with free champagne on Wednesdays but we were too early. So we went to find another bar which we did but it was empty and expensive but we stayed to kill time. Unfortunately while there I checked my email and found out that my second major was going to be impossible to complete that put a bit of a damper on the evening and we ended up getting home at about 11:30 pm-big fat win for MB!

Thursday involved a lovely morning of a little bit of recovery and lots of paper writing. Then a monumentally boring visit to the International Labor Organization. Afterwards laundry and paper writing made for a wonderful afternoon. Dinner and course research consumed the evening and then lots of packing for upcoming spring break.

Looking Forward to: Dad coming on Saturday

Looking Forward to: Being legal in the States
