Imadok elni

Hello dear readers,

These last couple of days have been interesting for me, sort of emotional and weird. But also kind of typical of me...I like life. No, no, not just that. I LOVE life. Imadok elni.

My roommate is currently walking around the apartment talking with her dad on the phone in Thai. And when I say walking, I mean marching/high-stepping. It's pretty great. I wish you could derive as much joy from this small detail as I have. I thought someone was knocking on our door, but it turns out it was just F stomping around. Thanks be to God we are roommates. I was just thinking how much I both enjoy and abhor living in an apartment. It's great to have more freedom and space than in a dorm, and wonderful to be able to cook for myself, but it's also a pain to clean and cook and buy food all the time. I always buy food and then put it in the fridge and somehow magically forget it's there until...it might be too late. Ah well. Learning. At any rate, I'm really grateful F is my roommate, and I was thinking that in the future when I eventually have 'my own place' that I must have a roommate. I have been blessed with just phenomenal roommates all my time in school, and so it's like I have an automatic friend, an automatic sister even with whom I can share my day and my neuroticism. Of course no roommate relationship is shiny and perfect, but that's because we're people and people are not shiny and perfect (unless they have just recently been dipped in quicksilver - okay, that was really a bad joke. Doesn't even quite qualify as a joke it was so non-funny).

Anyway, that's kind of random information. This weekend was Man-Bear's 21st birthday, so we went out to Thai food at the same place we went for F's birthday. Fun! And delicious again. I highly recommend this place, it's Parazs Presszo just a couple blocks from Nyugati palyaudvar (train station) on the blue line.

And since I AM here to study math and live in Budapest, I should probably talk about those things. Only here's the thing: this week/-end I have been pondering some other things, and as a result I have not been pondering Budapest that much. And I told you I'd relate my trip to Vienna, and I shall. But to be honest I don't feel like it right now. So if you're impatient about that, send me an email and I'll gladly respond.

Okay, well, this meandering post is at its end. Until later, bara'taim!
