First Month Likes &Dislikes

So... I figure that because I have officially been here for a month (woot woot)and have gotten (for the most part) acclimated to this strange new environment I'dve (is that I word? I feel like it should be... regardless its supposed to be a contraction for I would have) come up with a list of things I like and dislike. This of course will probably end up changing relatively dramatically as my exchange progresses but I figure for the sake of consistency I'll make this a monthly thing simply to watch the progression. A self made guinea pig so speak if that makes any sense. So, enough with the rambling...

Likes :

Public Transportation
Budapest
Túro Rúdi
Making sentences with the little Hungarian that I know
Learning Hungarian
Speaking Engarian
Bread (this is actually quite surprising as in California I ate virtually no bread and now I feel like I'm eating it all the time. Carbs are simply a figment of my new imagination)
Viktor Varga
Waking up at 4:45 AM to skype with my family scattered about in the USA
tights
fizzy water mixed with juice
meeting people
hanging out with the other exchange students
theres probably more but thats all I can think of at this very moment...

Dislikes:

butter in sandwiches
school schedules that keep changing
knowing just enough Hungarian to know when people are talking about me but not enough to know what they're saying
liver
the lack of ice cubes...
my inability to use elevated diction and having to simplify everything. (2 semesters of Ms.Spence are slowing slipping away D:)
thats it I think like I said, I love it here...

Neither like nor dislikes more like an afternote...

so I think of myself to be pretty chill. Coming from California I feel like I'm pretty laid back. I go with the flow. I'm not picky when it comes to food, plans, clothing, weather, etc. I'm usually in a pretty good mood if I'm not you'll notice. People should stop worrying. :)

So yeah. It's been a month. I'm happy to say I haven't gotten homesick yet. If home is where the heart is and your family lives all over the world. (the lovely family of Rotary that is...) then it truly is impossible to feel homesick. :) So yeah, good deal...

  1. Turo Rudi! Haha I love your lists, I remember feeling the same way. The butter sandwhiches with onions and paprika are the worst. Also gyiros kenyer for breakfast. But its impossible not to fall in love with turo everything!

    How do you like having soup before as part of every meal? Have you had those weird fruit soups yet?
