adventure by bus

Today I went to the mall. Not just the mall that's a 40 minute walk (it's across the street from the university). Nope. It was an adventure to the big mall--the Mall Multiplaza. So Katherine, Sara, Heather, and I took the bus (we had to figure out which one..), apparently chose the right one, but one that was going the opposite direction. So some girls on that bus got us on the right one. Then we had to figure out where to get off. But after a phone call to Allison, we got that figured out. And then we climbed a pedestrian bridge so that we could see where we needed to go and took a walk. It was fun. If I think about it too much, it's scary to not know where I am in a strange city in a strange country with a very confusing bus system and a different language, but it was good. It was nice to do something different, to get out of our houses. But now it's time to hit the books. With the combination of classes that I'm taking, I have an insane amount of homework. Sometimes there are literally not enough hours in the day to do it all before class the next day. So linguistics, here I come!
