Lesson #1

I have learned something: Whilst living in a foreign land, accomplishing small tasks means big victories. For instance, I am very proud of the list of things I have accomplished today:

1. Bought light bulbs

2. Installed light bulbs

3. Bought thumbtacks ("chinches") 

4. Hung Clemson paraphernalia

5. Bought food

6. Ate food

7. Bought cleaning supplies

8. Cleaned apartment

One shouldn't be too impressed with #6. 

PB&J, yogurt, banana, and milk.
