So 9 and 10 are going to be combined because what has been on my mind the last two days is the same, but for different reasons.
Yesterday my day started out with me waking up late. I didn't have classes till later on in the evening so I was able to sleep in a bit. Unfortunately, when I did awaken I found that I had no water at all. I made the most of it, and went on about my day. When I returned last night, I found the water to be running but in exchange I had to give up my internet. So I had no internet last night, thus the lack of an entry.
Today went much more smoothly. Everything was working, the weather was gorgeous... it was a wonderful day. I got to go to Subway with some of my friends from school. That's right, Subway made it to Romania. It may not seem like a big deal if you are reading this in the States, you may not even like Subway. But trust me, its a big deal.
The common theme here is that you really never know what you have until its gone. You don't realize how many trivial tasks really require running water (or water at all) until you don't have any. You don't notice how much that will throw off your routine until it does. And even something as insignificant as a sandwich shop can seem like such a special treat when you don't have it. I mean, it is just a little reminder of home. I don't know if I am making total sense. Basically, you don't realize what you truly have, or how significant some things are until they are taken from you or they are just no longer at your disposal.
