2nd week of class

February 13th saw the beginning of my second week of classes. It started with an 8am class called Business & Society. My teacher for this class is a hilarious Swiss guy who always manages to relate the conversation of the class to sex. He does put us girls (me & my 2 American friends Mary & Nicole) on the spot, especially with the sexual questions. He is very blunt when it comes to mocking nationalities. We spent a class talking about the efficiency and effectiveness of corporations & stockholders, which then got related to eroticism and how the Germans are obviously defunct at this. It makes the 8am - 11am class much easier to deal with and I always leave the class with a few new and amusing quotes in my Moleskine. 
Yesterday's was "Efficient men cannot be erotic". Followed by a discussion of this. 


That's a view of the Hungarian Parliament, taken in tram. I was riding over with my friend from the Buda side of the river to the Pest side. The bridge and his apartment have gorgeous views of the city & its beautiful landmarks. The city looks even more serene in the ice & snow - especially as a lot of the river is iced over. The cold temperatures are less amusing though!
