So yesterday was a pretty damn lazy saturday, I woke up in the afternoon and didn't go anywhere until 5:30, but once I did go out I helped cooked a moderately authentic hungarian meal with my roommates at Robin and Aaron's homestay in új-pest. After that we went to the most popular discotech in budapest, but got bored with waiting in line forever and found a another club, that was somewhat English themed (lots of english streetsigns and ads to cover the walls.) Had a fun time, but discoverd that my clothing reeked of cigarette smoke when I left. Discovered the instructions for our laundry machine online in Czech, Slovak, Polish, German and French, all languages I don't speak, but did laundry anyway, and look forward to fresh smelling clothing once it all dries. Today has also been pretty low key, cleaned up from friday night's dinner party, which took about two hours (lots of dishes from other meals to be done as well, but the sink is now empty along with the counter and table. Wrote some emails, still working on the next mass email, might take a while, but I hope this gives some flavour until then.
Friday was also a good day, started a bit late, but included a trip to the College International where classes will be and orientation and a small party was. Orientation was mostly boring logistics, but two representatives from the embassy and consulate came to talk to us, which was interesting. Also, they gave descriptions of all the classes, or at least added small notes. As it turns out since my two most favored classes conflict (combinatorics II: hypergraph theory, and Galios Theory) I will most likely end up taking three of the four hardest math classes they offer, (and maybe the fourth as well) plus Hungarian, more to discover as the shopping period plays out. After the dinner we had a leftovers party for 8, cleaning out the fridge and making one new dish. More details later, but for now I must get sleep to prepare for the first day of classes.

go for hypergraphs, i think.
i have an engaging picture of graph paper merrily stacking on top of itself, then zigzagging around the round with brisk purpose. it's a good scene.
Galouise Theory, au contraire, will just keep your clothes smelling like smoke.
...Gaulouise. just looked it up.
I didn't realize how witty Anne's comment was until I looked it up. I thought that it was a mere non-sequitor.
