Day 27: Catching up on reading

Today was another day of catching up on reading and college apps so my brain doesn't turn into mush! It feels absolutely surreal here- simply immersing myself in the culture and language- but I have to remember that there are still numerous obligations I face, especially in preparation for next year. I read many intriguing articles from Foreign Affairs and the New Yorker today, and I am so glad that I have the opportunity to simply sink into the couch and delve into the pressing international issues and also cultural issues of today. It was an interesting juxtaposition. The Iraqi crisis and the Hobby Lobby Supreme Court ruling and a short fiction piece called "Apple Cake."

It was so beautiful outside!

When Ann-Christine came home from work, we went to Jubu Pizzeria to pick up two pizzas for dinner! 

Here you can see the pizza chef hand rolling the dough for our pizzas!
