The inbetween time

Although most of the time I am studying (by most I mean all) We do fine time occasionally to let off steam and see the world. Last week I went to cheer on my friends who are on the women's soccer (football) team take on Politecnico University. Even tho they didn't win it was still great fun to get out of the apartment and see them play.

The week before the soccer match my friend Jen came over and made hot pot in our apartment. If you have ever had hot pot you are in for a treat. It is a type of asian soup. You basically make stock with different spices then once all hot and ready you start adding all types of good things like, tofu or meatballs or veg. Due to the fact that it is all hot and tasty it is ready in a few minutes. You eat it with rice noodles or white rice. I am not sure what is better the hot pot or the process of making it :D.


The other small bit of entertainment we have is at the supermarket. Yes that's right the supermarket.  There are always different programs at the market to win stuff depending on how much you spend. In these months it is pixar and disney themed. Basically this is how it works:
* You get 1 small sticker for every 10 euros you spend.
* For every 5 little stickers you get 1 big sticker of either Mike or Sullivan and a small plastic toy.
* Once you get 6 Mikes or 12 Sullivan you can trade them in for a plush version on Mike or Sullivan.
Now this may seem like a pretty easy system but the big sticker is either a Mike or Sullivan (from monsters University) and you don't know which one you will get.  You would be surprise how much fun these type of things can bring. We have so far have 1 mike and enough stickers for an other mike and a Sullivan :D




Ok now the fun is over and it back to the books... at least we have Mike to keep us company.

Till We Meet Again,
