How to Gain Weight, Quickly and Effectively
February 14, 2006
There is one place to go to add curves: Belgium! :) This weekend I went to Brussels and Bruges to sight-see a little and eat a lot. We took a bus to Dover, hopped on a ferry to cross the channel, drove from Northern France to Belgium and on to Brussels. Anyway, we saw the sights but we also ate the fries, the waffles, the chocolates and the mussels and of course, we tried the beer. I guess I never realized that only the best beer in the entire world comes out of Belgium. Fancy that! We all sampled a bunch of famous names and stuffed our faces with sugary, fatty goodness for three days. My body has been crying out for fruit and vegetables since Sunday...
Just a quick note, CONGRATULATIONS to my Simmons sister who was just accepted to LSE! I think it is fantastic that others are applying and getting accepted! :) It was hard for me to come and figure out the ropes because only ONE person came before me a few years back and I came alone this year... My hope is that Simmons and LSE may form a link or bond if you will, to make it easier for students to study the social sciences here.
Today I am working on two essays due this week (one technically tomorrow, one definitely Thursday) and preparing an itinerary for when my friend Heather comes to visit!! She arrives Friday and I can't wait. :) This weekend we're having a big get together over some homemade Korean food too, which is exciting because I've only had a couple of Korean foods, like ever, in my life...
Happy Valentine's Day, too! My parents both sent me a card. :) Tonight I am going out to a dinner with a local Church and other college students to hang out, eat some tasty food and dance…it should be a lovely time.

Imran's beer was chunky...it makes me gag to think about it...
