Today, I spent a rather typical Sunday, sleeping in a bit, doing laundry and getting ready for the week ahead. Unfortunately, every store in the city is closed Sundays, so that hampered my preparations a bit. I am still lacking a dish cloth or dish soap to wash any of my dishes.
This morning I did a trial run of my walk to work. I've decided to walk the 40 minutes instead of taking the bus, to get some exercise and to save the bus fare. It's a good thing I did a test run, because I ended up getting a bit lost. My walk to work should be an pleasant one, either along the lake and through a park or through the Palais des Nations.

Later in the afternoon, I went to check out the "Gratiferia" that I saw advertised on the Geneva Interns Association facebook page. It was kind of like a garage sale, except everything was free! The GIA does what they can to support interns in the city, knowing the high cost of living. I found a laundry bag, and a pair of work shoes and got a cup of tea.

This evening, I made some spaghetti and ate with some of the ladies from the Foyer. I even helped one of them study for her criminology exam.
I am really looking forward to starting work tomorrow. I have been feeling a little bit homesick, and having something to put my energy into and keep me busy will be very helpful.
