Maybe I should get in the bed earlier or maybe live blogging is too difficult in a new land right away. Whatever the case is I can honestly say, I tried very hard to wake up and was not able to until pretty late in the afternoon. Eventually I did wake up and all I really could do was ponder. How am I going to tell a story while I am in town, how will I meet business minded people who want to hear about the company, how can I encourage cigarette smokers to consider VapePens instead, how can I ever accomplish all these goals in less than a week.
I put on an episode of AMC’s Mad Men season 7 :-O. IT was awesome. I am a huge fan of the show. Next I walked around and around the portion of the flat I am staying in and began to clean. Why? Because it always clears my mind. Plus it is finals week for Josh and his roommate so I thought it to be a nice gesture to do some dishes. Candidly speaking, there is a slight malfunction with the electrical on this level, and if you run too much water, the fuse shorts out and all the electricity is gone until the water pump has done “something”.
I am not sure I really understand it, but as soon as I began to rinse the dishes, sure enough BLACKOUT. Moral of the story, cleaning may cut the lights. So I hung of the towel, and started to prepare myself for the rest of the day. When Josh got back from a hard days worth of studying he looked happy to see me up and about although I hadn’t gone anywhere with my day. He brought me food which was, in retrospect: all I really needed. And then we began to talk / catch-up (also desperately needed).
It is hard to think that I haven’t seen one of my best friends in just about a year. A lot happens especially when one considers that I too studied abroad for 90days. So we shared some stories, I took a walk by myself for a while so Josh could study for his exam on Tuesday.
When I came back it was dark outside. I gathered some materials and started working on a song. Vera and her daughter were outside for supper and I sat near them busily on the iPad trying to be the next (insert famous hip-hop artist name here).
I accomplished nothing in this day, except for a small self tour. I will have pictures soon for this I do promise. Ciao’
