The sun actually peaked out a little on my way back from class! :-P
On my way to my school building a man called to me from behind and I turned around - of course to regret this later - and started talking to me in Polish. He had money and boxes of medications in his hand. He had weird teeth and strange, white eyebrows. I tried to understand what he was saying and told him I don't speak Polish very well, but that did not stop his sad ramble. I think he wanted me to either buy him heart medication or give him money towards the meds... I kept going uhhh and looking around for ways to figure out how to say that I had to go. Then, in my peripheral vision, I saw a middle-aged woman in the door to a bakery look at me and wave her finger a few times. I thought this was a sign to not listen to whatever the old man wanted, so I just walked away without saying any more. Yes, this was weird. I must have a sign on me saying I am a dummy. I guess it is good that I could not determine exactly what he wanted. I had to leave anyway. His teeth alone made me keep my distance. Next time I will just ignore. I know my Mother will read and give advice very soon. ;) :-P
So, I picked up a big binder of readings for one of my classes in addition to my package. :) I opened it before my first class. Thanks, Mom. :-D It included cards, candy, gum, an LA mug, towels, teas, sweet-n-low packets, gloves, boots, post-it notes, highlighters, a book, an owl pillow, and mini LUNA bars.
Yes your Mom will comment....DO NOT STOP to talk to strange people.....and why are you walking alone...I thought it would be in groups? I guess I understand somehow if it is during the day BUT PLEASE NEVER WALK ALONE AT NIGHT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you received the package....now you have your nice black dressy boots and proper gloves....ha-ha
