double dinner, proper posts

dinner!!!

Tonight had some ups and a down.  I have been craving a good work out for WEEKS, and finally the gym was open!  Unfortunately it was a completely disappointing experience.  It was undersupplied, overcrowded, and full of unfriendly, smelly men doing stupid things on machines that took up too much space.  To be fair, I did go at 5, which is probably rush hour in the gym, but still!  I was so mad! Maybe next time I will try the boxing gym.  It's moments like that one that really make me frustrated with the restrictions of my location.  If only I was close to a crossfit box.... 

This is where things started to look up: Anna and I made a fab dinner, that really encouraged me about our prospects as a cooking partnership.  Green beans, zucchini, squash, chicken and rice!  the best part was that we have leftovers for tomorrow.  

After dinner we were invited to eat with some French and Norwegian exchange students.  Hanging out with other internationals was not something I bargained for, but I have found it to be one of my favorite things so far.  Tonight we were blessed with a retelling of the American revolution and formation of the United States by two very well informed French students.  It was so entertaining!  Kind of like drunk history, but more impressive.  Really, everyone's english is so good most things are impressive.  But it turned out to be a fun evening.  

Then Anna and I watched the beginning of the new episode of Newsroom.  I thought it was boring, and was not bummed when the internet died only half way through.  sorry, not sorry.  

Good Night!
