Today we started off with class from 10-12 all about Euler's Theorem. Which for those of you who don't know is all about prime numbers and congruency! But don't worry if you don't understand what that means, we're still trying to get a grasp on it ourselves.
In the afternoon we had a literature professor come in to discuss famous Hungarian works of poetry and literature. We analyzed the translated forms of poems and excerpts, including the Hungarian national anthem...who knew it was sooo pessimistic?! The literature professor was fantastic, and this lecture surely supplemented our liberal arts education (MCG!!).
We did take four days of Hungarian on our trip but aren't quite fluent yet! On the way back to the hotel, a stop at Aldi was necessary to find more pomegranates and Milka chocolate bars. A bunch of us got together in our hotel room to finish our homework and of course eat the chocolate we just bought.
At 5:30 we all met in the lobby to go to Gellert, one of the baths just across the Danube (in Buda) from our hotel. Most of us were dressed warm, but a select few (cough cough our male counterparts, Nolen & Fred...) decided to wear shorts and sandals in 30 degree weather!

While we were there, we had the option of going into a steam room (it smelled AWFUL so we skedaddle out of there), a cold pool, and a couple thermal pools at varying temperatures. One was off limits as none of us had a swim cap with us, sigh.
After spending about an hour there a group of us were starting to get pretty hungry. Just a couple tram stops away we ended up at Baobox where we got Bao and Batyu, essentially steamed buns and dumplings. On the way back we stopped at Gerbeaud for cakes which they are known for and were delicious!

We are having a relaxed night here because some of us are preparing to go to Bratislava for the weekend! Tune in with us next Tuesday after the final!!
