I'm bad at blogging

Offensichtlich/obviously I'm bad at blogging. Once a week I said. Lies.

Anyway, my intensive course is over and real classes are beginning tomorrow (Tuesday) for me. !!!!

To sum up this week, it was pretty trying. I got very frustrated with the language and how I'm not as adept at speaking as I thought I was. But I'm trying to change my perspective. After all, I'm here for 4 months and I'm definitely going to get better.

On the plus side, I went to some bars and had some great drinks with my roommate and a friend of hers. We went to Cabaret Voltaire, the birthplace of the Dada movement in Switzerland! The drinks were massively overpriced! At the last bar I stole a beer glass as revenge for all the money that Switzerland is taking from me. Don't tell anyone.

The next day was Valentine's Day, which was also a bit hard, considering I am away from the people I love. But I have no reason to complain. I'm in a beautiful city and I'm about to study a subject that I love in a language that I love (despite my frustrations with it). Additionally, I went to a café with my roommate at 10 pm for hot chocolate to boost our spirits. It was pretty much the best goddamn hot chocolate I've ever had in my life, and that's not an exaggeration in the slightest. It was hot chocolate with amaretto and whipped cream, ohhhh my God. Also massively overpriced. I was dressed in sweatpants and a regular T-shirt, meanwhile there were all these nicely dressed couples kind of giving us looks, because the place was fancier than we expected.

Anyway, that's all from this week! I'll have plenty to talk about next week, since classes will have begun and I'm going to a festival in Basel in a week.
