rommate love
adam and joel yesterday was an amazing day. We woke up to freezing weather to get on jeeps, and tour Lisbon. We made serval stops in the middle of nowhere, portugal to take some pictureque photos of cliffs, and fog. If I got descibe portugal id say it reminds me of san fransico. which in a sense its difficult to say that simply because Ive never been there. But from what Ive seen in the movies, id say its the same place. Tons of fogs, mountains, cliffs, the ocean....simply amazing. We didnt see any animals on this safari, but we did get a good look at a ranom man shitting in the middle of the street....The jeeps dropped us off in Sanatri which is a small town. Very european, small house, mountains, palaces everywhere very beautiful. We had some free time to get lost and discover the town. On our discovery walk, we manged to see the largest roach ive seen. Fucker had claws and horns, crazy looking bug, i have a picture of it, when i get to it ill make sure to upload it. after getting lost in three blocks worth of a town we went to a palace which was beleived
to be part of the maison secret society. This place was enormorous, there was gardens and statues along the side walks. It had accending mountains, with underground tunnels. There was so much to look at and discover in the palace. But at that point we had done soooo much walking, and had soooo little to eat I truly believe we were all about to pass out. But after my fun jeep sarfari, we ate dinner.And took a walk in downtown. When i got home I braided carlok´s (a chinese guys) hair.....funny...( also i have a picture of that)he was very excited... goodtimes 😊
Today
My mission: To obtain my debit card
My current financial statis: 34 euro
My plan: n/a
How do I describe how I feel without my debit card? Well I guess the best way of putting it is stressed. I woke up this morning early enough to make it to fedex and to get back to the university of lisbon before my group left without me. Prior to going to fedex Idecided to be a smart girl and give them a call, to ensure I didnt waste my time. Unfortunatly they didnt pick up...So
my sunshine
my bestest buddy on board dounia whatd I do? well because Ihad already looked up the address, and had very little money. I figured Id take the metro (for the record, this was a very bad idea) so basically i ended up out of lisbon near the beach....he...and that would have been cool and all, however i lacked my bathing suit, plus I was on a mission. So assuming that there was no possible way I was that far I stopped a taxi (also a very bad idea) 30 minutes later, the taxi meter was reading 20 euro and we still werent there....ahhh...biting my nails at this point. Because I only had 34 euro and I needed to make it to fedex plus make it to the university of lisbon with that amount of cash. The taxii man kept trying to make small talk asking me all these questions in portugese, but icouldnt pay attention I kept watching the damn meter as it slowly increased. I must of cracked my nuckles about ten times, from the anxiety. Well after much praying in the taxi, i made it to fedex. And it was at the very low cost of 25 euros .And i think this calls for
a celebration because ladies and gentleman i now have my debit card!!!!! so exciting.......not that it was totally bad i did get a few drinks for free because of it 😊 Well along with the story, so fedex is located in the middle of nowhereportugal, next to random factories....(by the way i am wearing a dress and heals, because i have an interview at 2) so here i am walking in the middle of factories, and of course its raining! tax´s are noooooooo where to be found. So i walk to the end of the street and stand there and wait...and wait ....and i waited some more.Finally a taxi came my way ...yay....ok now the prblem was that he had nooo clue what i was trying to say. He ended up having to call his office so that i couldexplain to them where i needed to be. This cab ride cost me 5euros, leaving me just enough to by some coffee. Well So now here I am at the university of lisbon and i have been here for about 2 hours waiting paintenly for the rest of my group, because they went to a glass blowing factory and i wasnt thereto join them.
