I think tourists are the same no matter where you go. ha. They all usually speak English, they all usually travel in big groups, and they all usually take pictures/videos of everything! I walked past a group of German-speaking Asian tourists today, and almost 5 out of the 12 of them had cameras out. ha. so awesome.

And my lessons aren't doing so hot-- I have had 4 and could make it if my teacher were willing, but her 9-month-old daughter had a tumor and had to go through an operation, which went well, but now she is recovering and therefore my bassoon teacher will not have time to teach me twice a week until when i leave. :( sad day. i liked her! So i emailed my advisor at school and also Kara, and asked them if they could help find a solution. The dean emailed me saying she was trying to find something to work since the situation is completely out of my control now, so hopefully i won't have any penalizations.

BUT i go to Brussels this weekend to see Emily! yay! so excited!

And i got a care package from my boyfriends parents, which was AWESOME because it was completely unexpected, and they gave me mac and cheese, and ramen and pop-tarts!!! ;)

but now i have to go get some food, so love you all! adios!
