At Least I Look The Part.

     When I first meet someone they usually think I am a Spaniard. Apparently I have a good "hola" and my hair and eyes are so dark. It only takes them a few moments before they realize that I am not a Spaniard because I talk like a three year old. Haha. Comprehension is coming, but speaking is still extremely difficult. I'll just keep practicing! Watching That 70s Show in Spanish helps me so much since I pretty much know punch line.
      Yesterday was Columbus Day so we didn't have school (we also don't have school today!). I slept in until 10 or so and then had my Nougat Pillows. After breakfast I started a new bracelet and watched some That 70s Show and occupied myself until it was time to go to Yayos house. They call their grandparents in this family "Yayo" and "Yaya." Lunch was nice. We had some really amazing chicken. It was baked and had some kind of cheese sauce in it. So yummy. I think Yayo is getting pretty old. I have been there at least 3 or 4 times so far and they still have to introduce me every time and yesterday just after they told him I was from the U.S. he said, "Oh, France?" Maybe he has Alzheimer's. That so sad if he does :(
        We stayed at the grandparent's for a few hours and then headed back home. I met up with another exchange student from Canada, Mariel, and we went to the mall. It was great. I bought some great leggings. They're almost pants. Everyone has them here so I needed a pair! I got them from Zara, an extremely popular store in Europe. I also bought some Hello Kitty socks from H&M. I just could not resist. They are spongy and so cute. They're eco-friendly too! How could I pass them up? (maybe because they were 3 E a pair? haha). I also bought this scarf thing from H&M. It's all connected to make a circle and you just double it. It's so perfect. It's a big scarf- for outside. I love it! Our last stop in the mall was the Supermarket (yes there is one in the mall) and I bought some Shampoo (2 in 1...I'm cheap) and Mariel bought some butter and ice-cream because she was making apple crisp last night. It was Thanksgiving in Canada yesterday. I just learned that. Haha.
         After shopping I got on the bus and headed home. Have I mentioned how much I love public transportation? It's great. When I got home, I did some catching up with friends on facebook and talked to Brandi for a little bit. That was nice. Maite and Inigo were here skyping with Raquel. They were laughing a lot so I think they had a pretty good time talking to her! The three of us ate dinner around 11:15. So late. I was starving last night. We had salad. This time with lettuce, tuna, oranges, onions, and dressing. It was pretty good.
          I slept in today until 11! It was so nice. I really needed to catch up on sleep. Today is going to be a relaxing day. I have some cleaning to do in my room and some birthday presents to work on. I hope everyone enjoys their day at school and work! I'll be at home :) Spain just needed this extra day. Why not make it a four day weekend? I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! Besos y abrazos! I love you.
