Despite the grueling class schedule of the past 2 weeks, I'm happy to report that I have started a somewhat regular running schedule again. I consider an exercise schedule to be "regular" if exercise is happening at least 4 days a week, and I've now logged 2 weeks of exercising for 4 days. If I run tomorrow then that makes 5 days this week. I like to imagine that this counterbalances my terrible diet of the past month.
Tonight I went to dinner at a friend's house with a few other people from school. Those in attendance were from Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, and India. We had a great time. A few of my many favorite moments of the night include:
- Trying to explain what a George Foreman grill was.
- Learning about Rachel, Nevada.
- The Croatian attempting to insult the Serbian (in good fun) by telling him that he was complex, when what he meant was that he had a complex.
- Making banana bread with no baking soda.
- Grating a whole huge wedge of parmesan.
- Cramming way too many people in one of the Barbie-sized elevators here.
More exciting news to come...
(that last sentence can be read in two ways...both are applicable!)

Just looked up Rachel, Nevada on Wickipedia. Interesting place...never heard of it before. So how and why did your friend have information and/or interest in Rachel?:) You all must have been talking about a lot of random things. Sounds like a great time!
We all have pre-conceived ideas of people from first-impressions,origins, nationalities, work places, etc., etc. I'm glad that you're learning that these things are just facades and the "real" person, when we get to know them, is, many times, a lot different than we thought before hand.
I'd also like to know how to make banana bread without baking soda.
