Being an American never felt so good!

Okay, whats more American than two study abroad students taking a train 40 minutes each way and a bus on top of that to go to "the American Store"?  Nothing! Saturday was an all out American day for me!  My friend Will and I went to Antwerp to go to The American Store.  This place was pure heaven.  We found Beef Jerky, Peach Tea, Corn Bread mix, and even macaroni and cheese!  Will also had to indulge in two 12 packs of mountain dew because that is not typically sold here.  The man who owns the store imports everything from New York City.  But, he never has the same things so when you go, you never know what you are gonna find.

After the exhausting trip back home with our very bulky box (i tried to be helpful and carry it but then an angry Belgian lady yelled in french at Will for making me do the work..oops) We went to a local sports bar because the Arkansas vs Texas A&M game was playing and I was determined to call the hogs!  The best accomplishment of the night was convincing the entire bar to cheer for the Razorbacks! Now there are Razorback fans from all over Europe/people who hate texas a & m.... It was a good game with a depressing ending but the team has come a long way and I am always proud to root for my hogs!!

Sunday we had a little BBQ with some girls who go to Mizzou! It was great hanging out with new people!  We all had something to talk about and it was great! And starting the fire was very interesting! We had coals and newspaper but no lighter fluid and for the record, veggie oil is not flammable, and the scotch didn't help either, but it was a fun adventure!!  

All in all, it was a nice relaxing weekend that i needed!  Now im ready to take on the week ahead!!
