Today was good, pretty typical. I walked down Queen Street this morning and bought myself a New Zealand t-shirt. It’s got the Kiwi expression “sweet as” on it, which means like awesome or totally cool. I also ended up donating $20 to this sweet talking guy about my age promoting meditation, yoga, and being really spiritual. I thought he was just being friendly and then he started complimenting me, and ended up getting me to buy a book that I probably will never read, called the Bhagavad Gita, which is an ancient spiritual text. Now I know not to talk to what looks like friendly people on the street! I’m pretty sure they’re always trying to sell something. I’m just glad I learned that early on!
Other than that, not too much exciting today. I had corned beef and potatoes and this chickpea-salad stuff for dinner, then got to relax because this is my weekend now! No classes on Friday! Next week I’m going to attend some different classes to see what I can take in place of my physics course.
Another note on shopping- I’m SO glad I brought makeup with me, because like Revlon brand lipstick is $25 per tube! UNBELIEVABLE! I’m not liking that things here are so expensive, and I also don’t like that I can’t have a job. I’m so used to purchasing things but then having my bank account fill right back up because I used to work all the time. Yeah, it leaves me more time to enjoy myself but I also am more money-conscious because I want to do all these fun trips but I still want to make sure I don’t drain my entire account.
Sorry the blog entries are not very exciting! I figured it would be like this, hopefully I’ll have lots to post this weekend!
