Boston tea party vs. Bosnian coffee :)
October 11, 2010What ever it is you're doing STOP IT, SHUT UP and LISTEN!!!
I must say, my body is still having some
trouble adjusting to the “normal” tempo… I had to remind myself today to walk
slowly, to speak Bosnian to my mum, to buy groceries… And, I dare to say it, my
theatrical brain is missing the constant annoyance usually known as Zack's
camera!!! (there I said it)! Not much happened today, and I think the general
rule of the day was “be as lazy as possible”, in my own case at least… My brain
absolutely decided to not cooperate with me on anything but mindless chatter
and random unrelated things. So I guess, wisdom blogs and display of genius
shall come forth some other time!
Now, a bit about the surprising… There was actually a lot that I found interesting, like the tendency to call Andy by his first name, which is more than OK, it brings professors back down to the human scale… Coffee!!! I was surprised by the fact they were surprised that coffee was such a social catalyst for our culture. I wonder how are they going to get used to the coffee back in the States?!? I actually managed to surprise myself as well. By the time I answered the 3rd question starting with “what is that thing there” with “I’ve never been here before” I began to feel like a tourist, shocked that I didn’t know about all those beautiful corners of a city I call home… Given all the “evidence”, the one thing I wouldn’t be surprised about is if someone actually demanded from me to prove my citizenship!
But, in the end, minus the coffee habits,
linguistics, passport, nationality, height, weight, hair color and so on, we were
just a bunch of architecture students, doing what we do best: Balancing out
basic biological needs versus architecture!!! It is what we do best, after all!!!
