What a Week!

well considering the weather wasnt as cold this week you would have thought i would have been happier and the week would have gone smoothly .... WRONG! after an uneventful monday besides the fact it was noels birthday and we had cake and gave presents and stuff it was pretty quiet. i wne to the dentist and got a quote of 4000 francs for all the work on my mouth too! maybe that was when the week started to go downhill.
on tuesday i got to leave work early as amanda and i went to the ben harpur concert. it was a really great night even though we had to trek out to basel. the singer was great and i really enjoyed the music. only problem was everyone there was smoking marujiana so on the way home from zurich i fell asleep on the train therefore missing my stop. after panicking after getting off at stafa i realised there was no trains to my house for another 2 hours. i had to catch a cab which cost me 20 francs. aghhhh. so tired on wednesday and it was noels party! we went to the pool and then to the park and ate lots... amanda came and helped too and then we went to german together. after class did the usual coffee at the shop nearby.
thursday was ok but then in the evening catherin yelled at me even though she was angry at the kids. it was the first time she has yelled at me so i got upset. i think she felt bad though. so on friday it was freeeezing and we were at meilen all afternoon looking at the house, from there i went to class and then sara, lacey, lucille, amanda, julian (the french man) and i went to a famous german restaurant!!! YUKKK $40 for a feral sausage and some rosti which is swiss and is sliced potato hash browny thing!!! blehhh yuk.
so after a gross meal i then am on the train home and realise i dont have my keys... whoops so after balling my eyes out for ages and then i finally ring beat i got in the house. i was so scared i would get in trouble that i was considering sleeping outside..... ummm i would probably be in hospital now because during the night zurich turns to ice town! luckily i wasnt in trouble and the next day catherine even offered me her free tickets to the wine show.... i had already been though last week... mmmm still have to buy some of the wine i liked. it was so good!
so saturday i just went swimming and then got rained on back home and then met jenny in the city at 3pm. she had a date on saturday (which turned out to be a nightmare) so i helped her go shopping all afternoon! it was fun and i found some cool places for clothes!
i left her house at 9 on saturday night once she went out because i had an early start sunday.
lucille and i went to lugano for the day which was 3 hours away!! i slept all the way there. lugano was beautiful and i had such a nice day. lucille and i were feeling spontaneous too so we decided to pop on a train and go to como for the afternoon. we were only there for 2 hours but we had fun and got gelato.. mine was magala and it was the yummest thing ever!!!
so we got home at 11pm sunday night ready to start work at 7am but i had such a fun day with lucille and she is leaving in like 2 weeks so i have to spend lots of time with her!!!
today was just spent planning my trip to milan next weekend with the girls... 45 francs there and then im practically free home because i will come home after 7pm!!
now we have to find accomodation and let me tell you everywhere we look italian hostels have bad reviews... oh well at least its only for a night!
ps mum, we met an american couple in lugano and they had just spent time in italy on a tour and they loved it!! check out globus.com they said it was really good.
well better get some rest got a big couple of weeks planned ahead!!
