Why do I even need a title?

I got a key to my house!  Only because my host family are all going to be gone all day today, so Claudie finally got around to giving me a key and showing me how the lock works.  The locks are a lot different here, you have to turn the key all the way around two whole times to lock/unlock it. I guess that's a safer way to lock things though.  Claudie told me to keep the key, and don't lose it.  I don't usually lose keys (except inside the house) so I don't think that'll be a problem.  I put my new key on the pretty key chain thingy that my mommy gave me right before I left. It's not going anywhere.


I took note of gas prices today. Unleaded is 1,56 euro for a liter.  Which is over 8 dollars a gallon.  With the way Americans complain about gas prices, imagine if it costed as much as it costs here. In other news, I found more cheap Coke. A 4-pack for approximately 80 cents USD per bottle.  I make it sound like all I do is sit around and drink Coke, with the way I talk about it. But really I'm not drinking that much. I just keep an eye out for that kind of thing because their drinks are insanely priced and it's good to know there are some places to buy a decently-priced drink.


I thought I would pick up a sandwich and a little salad for dinner tonight and it ended up that the salad was mediocre and the sandwich was inedible. I ate most of the sandwich but I'm hungry. I should have bought some dessert. Like chocolate pudding. Or coffee-flavored yogurt.  Oh, I had strawberry yogurt yesterday.  That little bit of information is for those of you that know I don't like yogurt. I ate all of it, too.


Today, the little light on my cell phone came on. I didn't even know there was a light on my cell phone, until i pulled it out of my pocket during class to check the time and there was a light on the top, like a flashlight maybe? I don't really know. I have no idea how to turn it on or how to turn it off. I had to turn the phone itself off to get the light to go off.  I've never had a cell phone this cheap. You can't change the volume, you can't change the ringtones, there's not a lot that you really can do.  Which is alright, I guess. I'm probably never even going to use it really, but it's nice to have in case of emergency or something. And to use as a clock, apparently. And a flashlight? Although, somehow it has an FM radio on it. And a camera. It's weird, the things this cheap phone actually has.  (I just realized I don't know how to turn on the camera either.)  It also has an audio player, so I guess I can put music on it, and it has a game. Called Copter. Which I just lost 3 seconds into because I don't know how to play.


My final words for the day are these:  I really miss my cat.
