Well hello there world. I feel like I'm really bad at this whole blogging thing... I feel like I should be in school already. I've been out of school since the beginning of June and the Nerd in me really needs to go back for her own sanity...The past couple days have been really good. I went to a Rotary meeting on Tuesday where I met my Youth Exchange Officer, the other American RYExchangeStudent, some Rotarians visiting from Portugal, and a girl from Minnesota who is doing her second masters on human rights in Budapest. My club is very small compared to the Ukiah Rotary Clubs but they seem well organized. Meanwhile back in Mariahalom I've been slowly but surely picking up Hungarian. Last night I played some random mouse game and I now know how to say Red, Green, Yellow and blue (piros,zöld,sárga and kek.) we also played monopoly which is really hard when you can't read the cards... That brings me to my next tangent. I finally realized how scary illiteracy is. To not be able to understand what is going on around you, to not be able to communicate truly is terrifying. You rely on others far more than might otherwise be safe. The Russians were geniuses. That is not to say that I do not feel safe here or anything like that but it is an interesting idea... world domination and all that jazz... Luckily I have my trusty Hungarian-English dictionary which we are always using. Oh yeah, I met Fanni (another host sister) and my host grandma today too... she is super nice and an amazing cook. So yeah... I'm still alive,having fun and all that jazz...
