I started school today. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive on the bus riding into the train station. And was SUPER early. But I have a very nice instructor, and 5 diverse fellow classmates- one from Poland, two from Libya, one from Hong Kong, and one from Ecuador. I'm glad we've been working on Rosetta Stone, as pitifully little as we've done, or I would be slower on the uptake. We are hopping right into verb conjugations...I think I need to brush up on my English grammar to remember the names of tenses and such. But it reminds me of Spanish a bit, with the way conjugating goes, so that's helpful.
There is the best coffee shop just around the corner from my school. I have a tentative plan to frequent it after class to do my homework. They have killer toasted crustless ham and cheese sandwiches. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. Also, they have great vanilla lattes, and compared to Starbucks, it is much cheaper...although probably the same price as Starbucks in the states, conversion considered.
It started snowing right when I got out at 12:30! I say that. But maybe it was snowing before and I just didn't see it. No chance of a snowstorm, I think, just flurries. But beautiful all the same. Also, I have a weekly bus pass! I feel like such a native. No more stopping to fumble at the front figuring out what ticket I'm buying and what the driver is saying. For the week anyway. The man in the ticket window by the station said I did a good job saying 'week'. That was exciting as it includes the tricky 'ch' sound not found in English.
I've finished my homework, but am off to organize my notes. Happy Monday to you!
