We got a lot of things done on Saturday! We started off by tackling problemo numero uno...laundry! We were all starting to run a little low on clothes, because we change like 4 times a day because of the weather...literally! Of course, without access to a washing machine, we became the washing machines! Haha. We went on to the roof of our apartment, because that’s where all of the clothes lines are, which is so cool! We ended up creating a little system, one person washes, one rinses, then one hangs, which worked out fairly well for all of us! Our landlord was on the roof during most of our escapade, because she was cleaning the upstairs apartment for someone to move in. Anyway, she ended up helping us, clearly seeing us in all our struggles! haha. She said “let me do it, it is too much work for white people!” I wasn’t too sure how to interpret that, but either way, she was very kind! We didn’t let her do it though, because that would have been ridiculous, making her wash our laundry! After over an hour and a half, after all the ringing out of clothes, our wrists were killing us, because you have to like ring out each piece of clothing with all your force before hanging it, a little intense in my opinion haha.
After our clothing adventure, we had some lunch, baguette sandwiches of course. Since we have been here, all we have eaten for lunch is basically bread and jam, which I love so I’m not complaining! I’m pretty sure jam now constitutes of 50% of my blood stream though (biology students, feel free to send your complaints to my email...hahah!)
Anyway, we finally decided to finish up the home vibe, by putting up our friends & family wall, Canadian flag, and map of the world! Our living room looks sweet now, home sweet home.
Having the afternoon free, Carleigh and I randomly stumbled upon this game on her computer called Jewel Quest Solitaire. It’s not really played like solitaire, but it was a really fun game. There was a quest mode that we decided to play. It started with this lady telling us about how she and her husband live in an African country, and they are both archaeologists who teach at a university. Anyways it goes on that her husband went missing, and she was going to find him. Every time you beat a level of the solitaire game, another piece of the story was unlocked. Carleigh and I got so into it! Definitely the highlight of my day! Haha. We played for a good couple hours, because the story was epic. Janna had to force us to stop playing, or else we would still be playing, so we closed it. A couple hours later, we went to play again, BUT WE COULDN’T! Apparently it was like a free trial, and this time we had to pay for it...SO SAD!!!! We were so bummed, now we will never know what happened to her husband!!!...haha. Just thought I would share that story with you guys! Haha.
