chocolate, glee and sunshine

Today was a Wednesday.

That means I only had four periods of school and afterwards I was free for the day.

It was beautiful out. The sun was shining, the temperature was perfect, I looked extra cute, everything was going well. After school I headed to a local sandwich shop with Emma and a couple boys from school. We ate, and then, as always, headed over to, as the Belgian's would say "drink a glass". Aka, we went to the bar. Emma and I have become addicted to a drink you can get here, which is like a Shirley Temple except they use Fanta instead of Sprite. We order it every time we're at the cafe.

We left the cafe a little after two, stopped quickly at a bakery and bought an amazing chocolatey goodness. It had cream, and chocolate, and filling, and was delicious, as always.  We then proceeded to the bus stop where I THOUGHT my bus was supposed to be picking me up. After waiting there for half an hour (and eating some chocolate Emma had stashed in her bag) we realized that for whatever reason, the bus was not arriving. We decided to walk to a different bus stop, where I was sure a bus would be coming at 2:55 that would be going in the direction of my house. On the way to the second bus stop, we stopped at a local grocery store and bought the most delicious chocolate I have ever tasted (yes, yes, it's Belgian). We successfully caught the 2:55 bus, and made it back to my house safely.

We spent the rest of our time together outside, gossiping, enjoying the sunshine, and finishing our chocolate. Lately I have been having the biggest sweet tooth of all time. And a hunger to match. This is how people gain weight over a year of exchange haha. BUT, the chocolate here is just so delicious!

After Emma left I was trying to figure out a way to watch Glee online. You see, the season premiere was last night but most online viewing sites only work in the United States.  I had more or less given up when I began talking with my best friend Kaylinn, and we came up with the idea that SHE could watch it on her computer, we could skype, and she would change the settings so I would be seeing what she was seeing, not the picture from her webcam. So, I spent a lovely hour watching Glee with my bestie. In Belgium.

This made my day. It was funny and quirky and reminded me very much of the days I would watch Glee at home with Joe and Kaylinn and Charlie.

After Glee I ate a lovely dinner with my family, skyped with Charlie for a little bit, and now I am about to head to bed.

Nothing overly interesting to say today, but I am going to bed very happy.

Good night everyone!



today I appreciate: Glee with Kaylinn Bezenar
