Rain Randomness

Yesterday it was super rainy, and of course that was the day we decided to fix up all the bikes. On the way back home Lara decided to come with me... So we had some fun. 

Apparently I'm hilarious when I'm struggling to get a bike up or down stairs...

I ran out of memory on my phone so I imported them all to my laptop and then to a USB drive and then deleted them from my phone. I think I take too many pictures...

I didn't go by the baby bottle today, but I edited a beautifully professional picture:

Today for dessert at lunch I had chocolate because I'm so addicted. Chocolate is so freaking good here!!!

Tonight the sky was doing its usual beautiful thing so I had to take a picture.

Hipster baby bottle

I got to sleep in today! Yay! I got up super late, then did some homework and cleaning my room and such, then since it was sunny Lara and I walked to the lake of Zurich and went swimming.

There was almost no one on the beach because it was a bit chilly. It was gorgeous, though. 

There was a playground, and Lara and I decided to mess around on it...

(I don't know why it's so blurry... It's clearer on my phone..?)

There was also a pretty wall with a mosaic on it that we thought was artsy enough to take a picture with. 

The baby bottle is still there on top of the parking meter, but it looked kind of plain so I decorated it. Now it's a hipster baby bottle.

Friday! Week 2!

Yay for Friday! Today I got to sleep in, which means there are way fewer people on the trams and trains (which is much more pleasant).

I had double periods of classes all day... Music, Spanish, Choir, and Math. In choir we are practicing to accompany the theater class for some play involving the David and Goliath fight scene from the Bible. It's a super long song, and super epic. (!!!)

This is the main entry to the school, kind of the general hanging out/eating lunch/studying place. It's kind of really bright and open and pretty. Just cause. 

On the way home I again had to go pass by where the baby bottle was and lo and behold it was still there. Yay!

I also got to Skype with my family today. That was awesome. :)

The rediscovering of the baby bottle

Today was Thursday, which means school until 5:45, which means I don't get home until 6:15. Which means I starve. At least I don't have to get up early on Thursdays...

Something random I was thinking about in class was how even the paper they use to write here is different. Graph paper is what they use-for everything. I don't know of a place that you can buy lined paper here like we use in the U.S. It's the little things that you wouldn't even expect to be different that are so fascinating about being somewhere else. 

Also, while I was walking home from the train station, I happened to pass by where the baby bottle was (two days ago) and I looked up and there it was! Someone put it on top of a parking meter, maybe so someone could find it again. So apparently yesterday I just failed at actually finding the bottle. There was this guy riding a bicycle down the street that looked at me all weird because I was laughing while taking a picture of a parking meter. Yay!

The day of the freaking big spider

On Wednesdays we only have a half day of school, so I got home at 1, which left me the whole afternoon to do nothing, which was awesome. 

The weather today was gorgeous, and the sky was so pretty, I just had to take a picture...

I checked to see if the baby bottle from yesterday night was still sitting on the sidewalk, but it wasn't. I found a pretty little flower instead. 

At around 9 pm i walked into the room where the computer and the tv is. I didn't feel like turning on the light cause I just had to unplug something real quick. I turned around and started walking back out when I stepped on something, and it moved. I skipped off of it and turned on the light and there was a VERY LARGE spider just chilling right in the middle of the floor. I shuddered and then vacuumed it up. Ew.

Also, yesterday was my favorite little brother's birthday!!! Happy 12th Birthday, you little booger! 

Abandoned baby bottle

I got to get up late(r) today and I only had a few classes! Yay! I also got to leave school an hour early because I didn't see the point in staying for English class. Thankfully, neither did my teacher and she let me leave.

I found a wonderfully relevant comic that perfectly describes my most common everyday #firstworldproblem :

My grandparents went to a dinner where they discussed the cruise they are going to take, so I got to go to Dominic and Lara's house for dinner, which was fun. On the way home, almost literally right outside the apartment buildings, was a random baby bottle, just sitting on the side of the sidewalk. I don't know why, but I thought it was hilarious. 

It looks so lonely...

I wonder if it'll still be there tomorrow?
