Feb. 25 – Boredom sets in already?!

Well, I went grocery shopping for the first time today. I’m glad that I won’t have to eat instant noodles again because I’m sick of them already. I’m proud of myself hahah. Not only was this the first time I went grocery shopping by myself, but in a country where I don’t speak the language. In fact, I’m so inept at German that I’d rather read the French labels on products. I haven’t yet bought anything that requires real interaction, like stuff from the butcher or even McDonald’s, but I did manage to speak/use hand motions well enough to get change for the grocery cart from an old Swiss lady who was nice.

I talked to Goo and to my parents yesterday. It’s getting kind of lonely here, since Martina won’t be back until Sunday and Karston is M.I.A. Supposedly, he lives here, but I haven’t seen him yet. I’m running out of things to do. I don’t think I’m jet lagged anymore, because I don’t need to nap all the time. I’ve already unpacked and done my grocery shopping. Now I’m just sitting here and it’s so quiet. I wish I had internet! Hopefully, I can get that setup next week.

I’d like to spend some more time walking around town – so far I’ve only seen a few streets – but everything closes at 6:30 on weekdays, 2pm on Saturdays, and doesn’t even open on Sundays. I guess this means that I’m going to just be staying in until at least Monday. Hopefully when Martina gets back I can ask her about going to Davos/Klosters…yay!

My first real meal here hahah…salmon and salad… It’s a different type of salmon than what I’m used to though. It’s not pink and it’s really salty. Atlantic salmon is definitely better. And now I smell like fish.

Damn! I just realized that I forgot the Happy Bunny calendar that Goo bought for me.
