Eu Sunt Obosita

Pronounced Oo Sue-nt Obo-c-ta. It means I am tired. We haven't really been given a chance to recover from the fact that we are currently 7 hours ahead of the time it is at home. It's been good so far, it has just been exhausting. Last night we moved into our host family's house. The family seems incredibly nice, it's just the mother and 3 girls. A 20 year old, a 16 year old, and a 10 year old. The house is...different. It's really nice, don't get me wrong. It's just when you go in the front door you have 4 bedrooms and a bathroom. Then you go outside to go down the stairs where there is another bedroom-a very nice one, it's the one my roomate and I are in, the kitchen, and a bathroom that apparently is just for my roomate and I. We spent last night just hanging out with the girls, the mother had to work late. It was definitely good to be able to unpack and not be living out of my suitcase anymore. Today we had an 8 am meeting to meet the rest of the Veritas-the program owned by the Romanian Studies Program-staff. At one point we had to do the exercise where you go up to someone you don't know and find out 3 things you have in common with that person, and be able to find out enough about them that you are able to introduce them to the rest of the class. I'm not a fan of this exercise incidently. But the person who picked me was actually the woman who is teaching us Romanian. It was good because she made me do the first part of the conversation in Romanian because she knew I knew the words. So we introduced ourselves, we asked each other how the other person was, and we said where we were from. Thus ends the basics of what I know. Then this afternoon we went on a hike up a mountain, I call it a mountain-the person guiding us called it a hill. While it may not have been a huge mountain, it definitely was not a hill. We didn't have a choice, I don't know why but after lunch we were just told you will be doing this at this time. It was long and it was painful since I wasn't exactly wearing proper shoes for a hike. It was good once we got up there, the view was amazing of the entire city of Sighisoara. And we went to a little playground area, where we played Red Rover, Red Rover, and swung on swings. There was a little restaurant at the top, and some of the girls and I had to use the bathroom, so we went in the door marked toilets and realized-these bathrooms were unisex.
