So it's almost 11pm and I have my first midterm at 8am tomorrow morning. As usual I'm cramming some more the night before and that's fine cause I think I'm overstudying for this history midterm. None the less it's stressful and I'm using midterms as an excuse to eat anything and everything to get me through. Is it ridiculous that I cooked myself a steak for breakfast? Maybe, but I did it. I also made myself some steak and mushrooms for lunch and had a grilled cheese with dried mangoes and flaming hot cheetos for dinner. Not to mention I've been eating Kinder bars in between it all. I'm almost positive that I'm just a giant optical illusion.
Other than studying for the past couple days I've pretty much been a big bum. I've watched more T.V. here than I do at home in the States. I'm fully caught up with Dexter, Weeds, and Glee. Not only that but I'm also on season 2 of Entourage and have 5 more to go which I plan to finish in the next week or two. I've also completely changed my sleeping cycle. Except for Mondays I usually sleep until 11am and go to bed around 4 or 5am. So I basically live at night. Which is fine with me.
Last night Misia and I went and explored the city since it was remembrance day of the the Hungarian revolution. We really only saw a band performing at Parliament and some stalls selling food. We probably went too late, but the views of Buda and the Danube were pretty. Every time I look at it though in the back of my head I still think "It's not as pretty as the Chicago skyline." Many of my classmates disagree with me. I just love Chicago too much.
I'll be in Paris this weekend and I leave on Halloween to come back to Budapest. It's kind of a bummer having to leave on Halloween, but I can't miss my Monday 8am. France is also on strike and there are riots everywhere. I'm a bit nervous about this weekend. I hope it's still a lot of fun and it's safe. I'm sure that no matter what "Paris Holds the Key" from Anastasia is still going to be stuck in my head the entire trip. I'm weird like that.
Well wish me luck on midterms and pray that I stay safe in Paris!
OMG. I remember I wrote a paper/did a project on the Hungarian Revolution for Grossman freshman year. All I remember is that they used spoons or forks or something as weapons haha. Oh the memories...
