The Perils of Grocery Shopping in the City
My first class this morning was not held as my teacher was out of town, so I took the time to go grocery shopping. This sounded like a bright idea, and I did need groceries, but as it was raining, it got quite complex on the walk home. I put much of the food in my backpack, but I still had two canvas (thank goodness, for the sake of my hands) bags, and an umbrella- my arms got pretty tired by the time I got back. And my umbrella blew away once, and scratched up my ear in the process. It was a pretty draining process. Next time I grocery shop in bad weather, I may well take a classmate's advice and get a cab back. The only question is, how the heck does one communicate to passing cab drivers that one is in search of a cab? These sorts of things make me feel like a real country cousin.
