I Don't Think Europe Was Made For Me

Why does everyone smoke here?! It's so gross! 

Europe seems so advanced in everything health-conscious, so I don't understand where in their schooling and research they missed out on the fact that smoking is not healthy. It is impossible to go out to a bar- even out to eat, without someone lighting a cigarette in your general vicinity. 

I write to you in frustration (if that wasn't apparent) with the chain-smokers of Europe. I think I may be allergic because it has a much stronger affect on me than it does on most people. My eyes swell up and get red, I get itchy and hot. It's no good. For this reason, and this reason alone, I miss New York State.

Other than  the itchy eyes and smokey-smelling hair, it was a great day. I feel as if mother nature was confused, though. I woke up to a beautiful view of a snowy mountain range. It was early, so still quite overcast, but picturesque nonetheless.

Lunch today was AWESOME! I had eggs (over-easy) atop a salad! One of my absolute favorite meals. Right when I didn't think lunch couldn't get any better, I realized that the salad bar had all the makings for a Caprese Sandwich. I ran to the bread board to get a good slice . I may of well have been at The Globe Market  (sans the balsamic vinaigrette).

Class today consisted of presentation after presentation. It was nice though because we didn't have to wear suits! We went to Weggis after to get a ticket for Amsterdam over our Spring Break. Again, mother nature was confused as to what she wanted to do with the weather...I had on a fleece with a scarf and an umbrella. Sun then snow then sleet...she's crazy, I tell ya.

Read some of my book, had dinner, then we had a BananaGrams tournament in my room which got pretty intense. I'm glad I brought that. I have also started to do my laundry in the bathtub with a big long stick. It is really expensive and tedious to do laundry in the basement which is actually a bomb shelter, so the tub has worked quite nicely!

Short entry- typical day. I leave you with one thought. SMOKING STINKS!
