Getting to Know You, Getting to Know All About You

When you're a shy, socially awkward math nerd around outgoing people, making friends is extremely difficult. When you're a shy, socially awkward math nerd amongst other equally shy, socially awkward math nerds, it's still extremely difficult. However, this weekend my roommates, Angie and Clara, and I met a lot of really cool people and had a fun time exploring different parts of Budapest.

On Friday after Hungarian class, which is getting better; still bad but better, a bunch of us went out to eat at an Italian place. I met some new people and had a really good time. I also had a really delicious dinner, chicken pesto.

Today, we went out with a new group of people and explored the Buda side of Budapest. We saw Buda Castle and I tried a Hungarian baked potato, which is apparently a baked potato with pork stew on top.



So, the weekend has been pretty awesome thus far, not only in exploring new parts of this really cool city I'm in, but also in getting to know other people from all over the States and making some friends.
