Day V - Missed It

Yep, that's right.  Day 5 was actually yesterday and I missed it.  But, my excuse is simply that I was on my computer for all of 5 minutes yesterday.  I had my test yesterday and, frankly, it didn't go so well.  Besides having difficulty translating the questions to a point that I understood the problem, the gentlemen who were proctoring the exam did not provide a lot of help.  One went so far as to say he wasn't allowed to answer questions.  I didn't want to ask a question about the problem, I wanted to ask what the problem was.  After that, there was only time to eat a quick lunch before my next class started and it wiped me out so much so that during the hour and 45 minute break, I took a nap.  Then with the end of class finally around 6, I went and hung out with Jeff, one of the other students from the States who also took the test, and we ordered pizza and watched Seinfeld.  Then I went to bed.  All in all, an exhausting day that didn't start out too well and ended with simple fellowship due to extreme weariness.  So, I try to make up for missing yesterday by writing about yesterday.  I hope that'll still count since I will write something different for Day 6. 

I started reading a new book.  It is Solitudes by John Crowley, the first book in a tetralogy.  I'm looking forward to it and will keep you posted.
