Day Eleven- Wednesday January 16, 2013



Today our morning secondary school visit was moved into the afternoon, so we met for lunch at 10:30am and went on the bus to the university's cafeteria. I ate a cold mozzarella and tomato sandwich, salad, and tangerine. It was good!! We ended up staying at the cafeteria for 2 hours, which was annoying because I could have exercised or slept in this morning. But because we had so much time until the school visit, I ordered a latte, which was scrumptious in this cold weather. Then Nick informed us that we had 80 EUR left so I bought a tea to keep my body warm. I've had a lot of tea on this trip!

We arrived at the Porta Mosana College in Maastricht and learned a lot about how hard teachers work and the underlying ways of getting into a secondary program. I had a delicious cherry pie! <3 We also had a tour of the school and it wasn't as eventful as usual because the students were in testing so there weren't any students in the classrooms. I saw a 3D printer for the first time in my life! It was SO cool.

After the school visit, we ended up in central station where Amy and I went shopping! I bought two infinity scarves- one for me and one for my friend Amber? I'm unsure if she'll like it! I also bought bread for my banana and peanut sandwich but ended up getting a chicken gyro from a truck. Boy was that a mistake. My stomach hurt so much! I can't handle fatty foods. I am not a food snob, but I cannot handle such rich and spicy food. Amy of course loved it and it didn't bother her stomach! haha At least I enjoyed the dinner (before I got sick)!

I was planning on going out, but then my stomach hurt so much that I just stayed in. Amy and I chatted which was nice and then we went to bed. :) 

Side Note- I've spent 180 EURO so far and 110 of that was in Paris, so I think I've done a wonderful job being smart with my money!

No photos from today! :(
