Wednesday night, Wednesday night... I shall tell you what I remember of Wednesday night (try not to read too between the lines there...) After Kott's class we finally decided to try a night out in Geneva.  For a city that is proclaimed by that lovely Brooklyn woman in Venice (refer to earlier blog post) as, "expensive and boring!" (accent is necessary when reading that quote, we sure found an exciting and cheap way to do it.  You could go the whole night and spend exactly $0 and still be quite out of your right mind.  Club Platinum is THE place to be for those on the cheap in Geneva-but only on Wednesday night-Ladies Night. We went to the club, nobody had to pay to get in and there was free champagne all night.  The only things we paid for were checking our coats (note to self next time don't wear one) and the cab ride home (if necessary we could have walked).  Anyways the club was fun and very budget friendly.

Thursday was a national holiday in Switzerland, the Ascension of the Lord so nobody had work this day-a perfect opportunity to sleep off club platinum for a little bit.  Once semi rested we headed to Starbucks to continue working on our papers.  We spent several hours at Starbucks and then headed back to the cite to eat dinner and then do some MORE work on our papers.  Quite an enjoyable day!

Friday morning I once again had to journey to Apple because this time my charger broke! (I'm still waiting on the call that says the part is in for my optical drive...) so that was annoying, this computer has really seen better days.  After that Grace and I (we both had the day off again), went to Melissa's work to have lunch with her and Brenda.  Their job supports micro-financing and has a cafe to help employ refugees so we thought we'd try it.  The food was actually really good (the coffee was mediocre) and the chocolate fondant was AMAZING (like chocolate lava cake).  Grace and I then headed to Starbucks to do some more work for the day.  Then headed back to the cite to eat dinner and... you guessed it! Do more writing!!!

Saturday morning began with our weekly grocery shopping and then literally doing work for the rest of the day.  The one thing that made this day a little more exciting was a planned a Fiesta for the group to have! We did it potluck style and everyone brought something and all but 2 of us sat downstairs in the common room together eating.  It was a lot of fun and nice that everyone took a break to interact with humans for a little bit.  After dinner I hung out for a while with some of the group going crazy due to all the work we've been doing (we actually did a love train congo line down the hall ways-did I just post that online for everybody to read?)

Sunday I slept in-mostly on accident and then for something new and different I went to Starbucks to do some work! I ended up spending a lot of the time there watching the live stream of Colgate's graduation online-

CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2010!!! YOU DID IT!!!  

Now as I write this blog I procrastinate my night of doing more work!

Hopefully next week will bring something a little bit more exciting to write about.
