The first thing I wrote in my journal today was "Today is going to be great," and it was. I woke up and went to school as usual and had English and French back to back. I love Thursdays. My schedule is different every day. I'm not sure if I already mentioned this or not, but it's going to take me a long time to memorize. I had Latin today too. Apparently there was a test. The teacher didn't even give me one. I love this teacher. I wrote in journal for an hour. My journal has become a best friend to me. I always have it now and I write all the time. I also tape in tickets and cards, some receipts, you know, little things. After counting down the minutes in Economy, school was over. Natalie came over and we showed each other pictures of our houses and schools. After she left I took my first real Spanish siesta. Heavenly. When I woke up from my nap I cleaned my room and wrote some emails. We ate dinner around 9:30 and then I went to the movies at 10:30.
I went to the movies with my host sister's boyfriend and some of his friends (he's a lot older than she is. He's in college I'm pretty sure). He is was so nice to me. Asking me lots of questions and making me practice my Castellano. We had to drive to get to the mall that the theater was in and it felt nice to be riding in a car with someone my age listening to American rock music. Thunderstruck by ACDC was on when I got in. I love that song. We met Inigo's friends in the food court and then headed to see Resident Evil 4 in 3-D. Inigo wouldn't let me pay him for the ticket. The movie theater was great. It reminded me a lot of Tinseltown, but different. Everything is different though. The movie was about zombies. Interesting. I had a good time though. I would never choose to go see this movie but somehow the 3-D glasses, Spanish language, and free ticket made it enjoyable. I feel like I learned a lot just from watching one movie. I think I need to start watching more TV. On the way home we listened to more rock songs and rounded many round-abouts. There are round-abouts EVERYwhere here. I would be so lost and afraid. I'm so thankful that I'm not allowed to drive here. Before we pulled into the apartment parking lot Inigo switched ahead a couple of songs to That 70s Show theme song. I just about died. I told him that this was my absolute favorite show of all time. I was honestly just watching it today as I made some bracelets and cleaned my room. I told him that I brought it with me and he said that I needed to start watching it in Castellano. I'm so excited for that!!
I'm really starting to find my place and love it here. Tomorrow night there is a school dance that I'm going to. I'm sure my blog tomorrow will be pretty interesting. I'm excited to dance. Me gusta bailar :) Well it's 1:20 AM here. Goodnight everyone. Besos!!
