And Here We Are!!!

So this is our second day in Belgium, and we've started to get oriented with the city of Leuven. We've found the hospital, the grocery store, the building we'll have class in tomorrow, and know most of the streets near the house we're living in. The house we're living in is the international student house for K.U Leuven (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), the oldest university in Europe, and Tanzia and I have the largest room. On the fourth floor (which they call the 3rd).


You may be wondering why we found the hospital? Weeeellll... I picked up some poison ivy before coming here, and after a plane ride and walking around in the same pair of jeans... It got pretty bad (not as bad as we've seen in the states, but quite uncomfortable for traveling). So I had to go to the emergency room (because it was after supper - yes, on the first night we were here in Belgium...) and sat there for a good long while until they gave me a steroid shot and some cream to put on it. So now I'm feeling a lot better and will check my blisters when I take off the bandaids tonight. They don't actually know what poison ivy is because they don't have plants that give reactions like this but they were able to google it to figure it out.
