I Am Falling Down, Down, Down

Hola!

I was on blogging hiatus, (which I don’t know if I can say, since I had only blogged for about two months to begin with), but now I return. I’m not even going to try to mention all the things in detail that I have done in the past month or so, but rest assured I have done some things. I have come to terms with the fact that I have less than 5 weeks remaining in Budapest before my flight back to San Francisco. I feel very ready to go home, but at the same time I am still happy and enjoying Budapest. I feel like being ready to go home is going to make this a smooth transition and not so difficult as if I were to be clinging to Budapest. 
On an exciting note, put your hand in the air if you fell IN PUBLIC, not once, but TWICE, today. Don’t tell me your hand’s not in the air… We know mine is. Yes, you read correctly. I fell down twice this morning, in the span of about 30 minutes. No alcohol was involved, just my own special recipe of slippery sandals, smooth concrete, and a desire to embarrass myself to the point of tears. The first incident occurred on a sidewalk on the way to school when I slipped, and then slipped again to end up completely on the ground, bag splayed on the sidewalk next to me. The second incident took place as I was going up the stairs to class. I was almost to the top of the third and final flight when my sandal clipped the edge of the stair and I went down. Hard. On my knee. Yes, there were spectators. Yes, I embarrassingly squeaked, “Excuse me!”, then laughed a quick nervous laugh and told them (strangers!), that I was fine. The first fall made me laugh quite a bit, but the second one was a little overkill. Really, how much self-depreciating humor can a girl handle before 12pm?
Aside from that, I started reading Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist last night only to realize that I had already read it. Hm! I did decide to keep going though, and it’s a nice story.
As for the rest of life: I have 2 more weeks of class, 1 week of finals, and 1 week to say my final farewell to Budapest, before my flight at 7am. 7 AM! I plan to study and write papers, appreciate my friends as much as I possibly can, and truly be grateful for this time in my life. Then it’s back to California!
Home, Sacramento, then…. Costa Rica?

Oh also, check me out: La fille boie.
Google translate that shizzle.
Yes, things have gotten quite exciting since I brought Rosetta Stone in my life. It's only a matter of time before a seduce a very rich French man and he decides I am his muse and buys me a Hermes bag. Or luggage set.

Alright, that’s enough for now. I don’t want to overload all of my readers. I know I probably blew some minds today by coming out of writing hibernation.

Peace!
