Toast and jam.
That is were our breakfast mostly consisted of. If we were lucky we had some cereal, which was often tasteless. Note: Do not buy Frozen cereal. They do taste frozen, not in the cold way but in the 'you don't taste anything but a weird substance'-way. Our lessons started at 8.30 am. Fei, Alina and I walked to school and made it just in time. In class we listen to a song called 'Wheat Kings', we had to fill in the blanks. The lyrics was quite deep and beautiful. Wheat Kings Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all treasures buried And all you hear are the rusty breezes Pushing around the weathervane Jesus In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face maybe It's someone standing in a killer's place twenty years for nothing, well that's nothing new, besides no one's interested in something you didn't do Wheat kings an pretty things Let's just see what the morning brings There's a dream he dreams where the high school's dead and stark It's a museum and we're all locked up in it after dark Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister Hung with pictures of our parents' prime ministers Wheat kings and pretty things Wait and see what tomorrow brings Late breaking story on the CBC A nation whispers, 'We always knew that he'd go free' They add, 'You can't be fond of living in the past 'Cause if you are then there's no way that you're going to last' Wheat kings and pretty things Let's just see what tomorrow brings Wheat kings and pretty things Oh that's what tomorrow brings It's a song about a man who was send to prison for 20 years while being innocent. We met with Megan and Evelien at Flirt to have some lunch. They had to go to their lessons afterwards so Fei and I went to the beach. We almost were thrown to the ground because of the wind so we decided to walk around the park where we saw Alina, Dario and Enrico. We sat with them and they went to grab a ball, they succeeded and we played volleyball on the beach. The wind was still there so you can imagine how that goes. Five other Italian people joined us and we played an Italian game which was basically 7 times passing the ball and the 8th time smashing it to a person to get him/her out of the game. Time really flies when you're having fun, we had to go home for dinner so we did. Sandy feet cause real problems in a house where they have carpet everywhere. They also give you a pleasant feeling when you have to walk home for approximately 30 minutes... After our dinner which was less risky than the previous one we played some more card games with Marijke and Ege (a turkish student who's in England for 9 months). This night our ritual started: meeting at 8.15 pm. at the cemetery with our group (Dario, Enrico, Luca, Daño/Daniele, Fei, Evelien, Megan). We went to the beach and we almost froze, it was so cold! It was summer but it felt like the middle of winter. I really admire the girls who manage to walk around in a crop top in these weather conditions. Okay, some don't have the bodies for it and you'd rather cover them in whatever is nearby but they do survive extreme cold with almost no clothing whats however. If there is another ice time, these girls will definitely survive.
