AAACHOOO!
Well, you see Plovdiv's ethnographic museum here. It holds a collection of old cultural stuff. And it's also an example of what I think looks like pirate ship architecture. The back of a pirate ship, basically. How it juts out and looks gaudy and stuff.
ANYWAY, the computer died yesterday, the very day I was supposed to e-mail in the project proposal for the project. Fortunately, the cure was just a "chkdsk /r" away. Worked a miracle and the radio project proposal is out of my hands. Phew.
The pressure's off at just about the right time, too. The snow trees have started doing their thing. I call them snow trees because they dump masses of white fluff all over the city so everything takes on a strange blizzardy look. I also call them snow trees because I have idea what any given tree is called. I only know that the trees outside of my apartment are sycamores because my mom told me.
I'd never really had allergies before I came to Bulgaria. But May's here are a killer. Constant sneezing and coughing. I was still able to play a solid game of basketball today, hopefully that'll last.
And there are mosquitos now too. Everything's coming together. Spring was pleasant for a while, but now the bill has to be paid. Oh well.
