Today was the first day I was alone, for four hours, in town.
Wednesdays are my easiest days and today it was more easy than usual-my english teacher wasn't here. When a teacher isn't here, you don't go to that class. Today my schedule was math, free period, french, forum, free period, free period, english. I went to math, my french class was MIA-so i had a free period, then forum. I went to my 2..well one class. and was done at 12. :) :)
I had a bus pass, but I love walking. So I walked into the CentreVille, and headed to the post office. At the post office I exchanged my money and happily continued on! Next stop, phone store. My phone bill is outrageous-well it's not a bill. I have to buy minutes, its prepaid. Let's just say I text mom, and dad, A LOT. I got 70 Euros worth of more minutes and had finished what I needed to buy...3 hours left....
I stopped at about 4 different Cafes and decided I liked the one that had the food out on display..I got the best sandwich on the planet. I have no idea what it was, but it was wonderful. I sat, alone, with my iPod on a bench in the park area of the Centreville. It was very relaxing. hahahaha-I feel old saying that.
Lets just say I had a good day :)
