Physics major Alexis Payne is studying abroad in Austria.
Payne is blogging about her study abroad experience at http://shadowsattwilight.wordpress.com/.
In one recent post, Payne vented about some of the challenges she has encountered while living abroad. Basic tasks –– such as buying milk and doing laundry –– are far more complicated than she imaged they would be:
“A gallon of milk has 3.79 liters in it. So basically a forth of a gallon is what I can pick up every single time I go to the grocery store. I therefore go to the supermarket every two days; often my trip is just for milk. Now you might be thinking, Alexis just buy more than 1 at once. However, this presents the problem of having one mini fridge for three girls who all cook. If I have two milks in the fridge at once, one of them should normally be finished within 24 hours of putting the second one in out of courtesy to the other girls.”
