A delicious way to start the day!

So I got up early this morning to have some time for myself and enjoy breakfast without being rushed. I got in the shower (which felt so good) and then had some fun trying to navigate myself around the bathroom. The shower is like half the size of the entire bathroom and when you use the toilet, you’re basically almost sitting half way under the sink. I had the door closed to keep in the steam and I had to shift around just so I could flip my hair over! I won’t complain though because it was still great! I was the first down to breakfast right at 7:00 am when it started and I wasn’t really sure what to do. There were veggie plates and cheese and meat plates, a table with coffee/tea/honey, eggs, something that looked like grits (that was really oatmeal), bread baskets, refrigerated stuff (6 versions of milk, yogurt drinks, caviar paste, liver pâté…), and cereal. I grabbed some amazing fresh bread, put some butter on it (which tasted great) and then topped it off with some eggs (even though they were very runny, they were very good), and a piece of Swiss cheese. It was great breakfast! Brandy and I talked about how it is so much healthy than American breakfasts which are typically filled with empty cards, fried foods, and sugar. We also discussed the structure of the class and how we felt like we didn’t know what was going on. We have about 8-9 articles to read over the course of the 2 weeks and yet we don’t know when to read them. We missed some emails and then asked our classmates but no one really knew what we were at least supposed to have done for today. No worries though because we talked to Shannon about it and she sent an updated reading list (where most of them will be read for this week and we won’t have anything to read for next week). We finished breakfast and I headed back upstairs to get dressed and we all met at 8:30 to head to the university for our first day of classes. I have to save our morning classes for our next post because I’m about to head out the door to meet up with everyone again (we’re on our lunch break, even though I'm not eating anything because I ate a lot of Turkish Delight during our break earlier and I'm not that hungry) to head to our first site visit, the Social Services Department, which is prob. the one visit that I’m most looking forward to (since it deals with the administrative stuff I’m interested in). I’ll talk about that and what I learned this morning later tonight!
