On the contrary, this is the most likely event to have happened to anyone on the planet. The cosmos were aligned in such a way on the moment of my birth that I was doomed to lose everything I hold dear. Such a pity.
I am bereft of nearly all my money. No cards, no euros. I only have $15 on my person. But I have my passport, cell phone, gps, so I will be ok. HAHA wily pick-pocketer, you missed those important items, eh?! Foiled again!
(So I my plan of losing weight is sure to come through at this point, I can only mooch off of friends for so long...)
Anyways, this was the day before my birthday. fabulous. Yesterday was my birthday. Finally passed the big 21st year. And it was not nearly as exciting as I thought it would be. No shining lights, crazy raging parties, or confetti. Oh well. However, I did get free gelato from Bailey :) Colin is apparently giving roomie and I his extra green hand towel as well. So that counts as a birthday gift right? Of course! Ended up not drinking at all and going to bed by midnight. I feel like a grandmaw now. So, celebrations with amigos upon my arrival in the US? Pleasies and thank yous?
ALSO, yesterday was the first day of class. Based off of orientation, we Americans are getting the easy way out in this European education. Not sure if I should be excited, disappointed or embarrassed that we are getting this special treatment. I'm leaning towards embarrassed.
Off to second day of class in T-minus 15 minutes. Today is "field studies"? 4 hours of studying the field...I think I can handle it ;) Barcelona is beautiful. I swear I'll have pictures to share eventually. Maybe I'll even include a picture of my empty purse.

WHAT!? when did this happen? Are you ok? Do you need some cash?
ReplyDeleteBRENTBOT you are too nice. Yes, I am fine. A little damaged emotionally, but it's a learning process :) I shalt not be pick-pocketed ever again...I hope. (knock on wood). I got all my moneys taken care of, so I should be fine from here on out.
