Jump on a Train(n't)


So today i woke up to the buzzing of the annoying alarm clark and rolled my lazy ass to the shower. Got ready. Had some Corn flakes and headed to the train station, where i met up with Megan. Went to school and that was pretty boring.. Maya (my teacher) was starting to actually get mad at us.. which has not happened yet. We got free time to work on our posters and everyone just started talking and having a good time.. she was pretty much steaming from the ears. i am home alone right now.. which is sweet.  Staring at the cows... Right now would be a prime time to go and pet them... but i am scared i would get locked out or something... hmm.. maybe i will do it anyways.
So today after class me and the girls (mixed of my class and the other class) headed to Zurich. I hung out with Sarah From Canada. She is really wicked. We have lots in common. We talked about how the group is divided.. it is all the americans... minus like the 2 of us. and then the other group (maybe i have mentioned this before) is the Spanish kids and all the boys from taiwan, usa, and Canada. They always hang out together which is good but Sarah and I want to hang out with them but it is so hard they speak spanish to each other and when they are not you just kinda feel like an outsider.. like the other day i was waiting for Sarahs class to get out and it was the spanyards and then me.. they were in a circle and i was like off and to the side of it. they were talking about all the plans they had for that day.. i duhno it was weird. it was better today when we had lunch and i walked over to chit chat with them.. and i am POSITIVE things will get better in a couple months but for right now it is just kinda like.. bleh. At home i am a floater.. and that is what i want to be here. i don't want other people to "designate" me to a certain group.
So We go to Zurich because we are going to take a boat ride on the lake that our wonderful Ga's pay for (its like a multipurpose pass for the trains and busses and boats) but Sarah had a meeting at 5 and i knew the boat ride would be quite long.. and then another hour and a halfish to get home.. do we opted out. shared some Mcdonalds fries and Chit Chatted on a picnic table. We have plans to go shopping tomorrow.. and i hope not that many people come. When you go with alot of people they all have different ideas of what they want to do.. so you end up just wandering around. (which is still awesome) not really doing much. But Sarah has a pretty similar agenda to mine... and if it involves shoes we are there. 
THE TRAINS. UGH.
so as sarah and i go our separate ways i get on this train thinking "oh it goes straight to Weinfelden i wont have to get off and switch trains i am going to get on that one it will be soo much better" holy shit was i ever wrong.
Not only was this a tiny slow train.. it had about 20 - 30 stops AT LEAST. it stopped at every little town that is in north switzerland i swear. i was getting so angry! Not to mention the train kept saying "nach Weinfelden" so i thought maybe it was not actually going there.. i mean eventually it did.. but i barely caught my next train.. i go from Weinfelden to Bishofszell.. and that train only comes once every hour! so  I was pissed and i am never ever taking that route again.
i am talking to my friend Brandy right now who is in thailand.. she just informed me that she broke her chi in thailand too! and that it fried her hair as well. It is totally a voltage thing. *Carrie i still think you should invest. they are the greatest things in the world and they stand by their product. I am sending mine home and "chi" is giving me a new one.. even though it was not there fault that it broke.
anyways. Not sure what i will be up to tonight... but if anything REALLY exciting happens i will post more later.
love you mom&dad

Hey Sweetie, You KNOW that I support purchasing of shoes. Shoes tell stories. You'll always remember the shoes you bought in Switzerland. I have shoes from Austria, Germany and MANY from different provinces in Canada. And I always remember where they've come from. Obviously I wish you much joy in your search for the perfect shoe(s). We have a BIG plaque in the office in the studio that says: "A new pair of shoes can change your life"-Cinderella. LOVE YOU! (Oh and remember...size 8.5...ahem)
