On the same impulse as the first tree-hug, I'm going to list some firsts as they happen this year. It should be interesting record-keeping, especially at the end of the year. It's January. It's a good time to start.
For the first long distance bus trip without parents, the first time on a roof, first struggle with college schedule, first job, first truffle, first harvest of radishes when the season for it was past....
So far this year...
First:
-article of clothing bought with my own salary. Black shoes with non-slip soles as required of working. Actually sort of comfortable if not for the new-shoes hardness, which is why I'm going to wear it all the way till my next shift on Friday, in hope to wear it out.
-slice of banana cream pie (very interesting. At least that's what I hope it was).
-time inside large walk-in fridges (freezing. Literally. I grabbed the stuff and bolted out.)
-day of work. (Yeah my list isn't in order.) Bewildering. But I was polite and people were disturbingly helpful so it went rather well.
-try of Carribbean food (crepe of some sort with pineapple chutney. Which reminds me that all in this school year, thanks to the DC, I've tried my first Italian and French crusine, which were rather strange.)
-lessons in Latin (thank you, Annie)
-lesson outside of classroom, (as in actual lecture, not lab or fieldtrip, that is listed in my course schedule as a class and that is giving me 4 credits towards my GE requirement) from beginning to end, while sitting on the ground (considering my major, however, this will be occuring rather more often later, I think)
