Going outside and seeing grade school children laughing and doing dance moves. A few of them waved at me and said "Hi!", to which I responded "Sain baina uu"...excellent cross-cultural communication, but still :)
Talking with two excellent friends from Bloomington and the possibility of a care package involving flip flops! My apartment (soon to be pictured) has wooden floors and few carpets, so it's both dusty and super noisy if I wear the house clogs provided.
Getting a supportive email from a professor about my research and her vision for my future career outside academia
Learning that the comedy central website allows international viewers, so I can watch all the crazy pre-election shenanigans via Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert and keep up with that crazy American pop culture
Scheduling meetings for next week...I am here to dissertate
Anticipating a dinner of left-over tsuivan, reheated in my microwave! (You guys have no idea how crazy it is that my kitchen has a stove top AND an oven AND a microwave. For there to be a rice cooker as well is just ridiculous. Appliances are super useful to have, I'm just sayin')
The fact that this exists:
It combines Star Wars AND Grilled Cheese AND Nerd Puns!!! If there is a stuffed penguin on the dashboard, I could not even handle it. I don't know where Fayetteville, Arkansas is, but I sense a quest...
On a similar note,
Yes, you're welcome
My fancy new cell phone that cost me a grand total of 20 bucks. It...it might be fancier than my U.S. cell phone. I just hope the buttons hold out on me for ten months...we'll see :) Also, if I do take pictures with it I'm not sure how I'll get them off the phone...
And....that was today! Lots of unpacking and cleaning to do, but that is much less entertaining.
Hope all you lovely readers are well :)
