Day 50.

     Can you believe it? I have officially been here for 50 days. Time has flown. I have experienced so much. I still need to learn this language though. I think I need to put more effort towards it. I just want my life to be in English as soon as I get home from school because I desperately want to just fully understand something. I get tired of getting the gist of things. On the other hand, I would understand much more if I put more effort behind it. I mean that's the main reason I came. No time to be lazy, Alex. So I promise I will watch some more episodes of That 70s Show and read some Pablo Neruda and Harry Potter before bed.
     Today was the day I finished my first journal. An entire journal in 50 days. Let me tell you, it's a thick journal. I think I will start to write less as time goes on...but I do have a lot of down time in school...it's hard not to tell something what is on my mind. So tomorrow I begin my new journal. The journal that Tess got me for my birthday this year. Every page is blank. I love it. I'm ready to begin a new chapter in my year. Section two. If anyone wants to send me a journal feel free haha. I only brought three! But that's a joke...shipping is way too expensive and my package has been in customs for 6 weeks now. They just liked Mom's cookies too much.
       Today I went to school. It's starting to become repetitive. There's not much that I can say that will interest you at this point other than this little story: Someone in my class drew an eskimo and an igloo with highlighters and tacked it up on the single bulletin in the classroom and one by one the teachers start to notice and then question it and for some reason it the funniest thing ever. The teachers asked if we were cold or something and the class just laughs. I laugh too because I finally get a joke. You probably don't really care about the green highlighter eskimo but I find it extremely entertaining. Another little story from school: Today during History of Art we went to the library and worked in partners on the computers taking notes about, well, art. Churches today. We were just sitting there and I start making this choo choo cha choo sound. I'm making up a song or a beat without realizing and my partner, Ana, just laughs. Haha. She said I was charismatic! I told her I didn't even realize I was doing it. I laughed as did the girls sitting next to us. Silly, silly.
        After school I came home and ate lunch which Maite made and it was fantastic! Pasta. Mmm. Then I finally was able to watch Glee! It was such a fabulous episode. Best 40  minutes of my time. After Glee I met up with Natalie and we went to Carrefour where they had a Halloween display. I bought an entire liter of body wash. I think it's going to last me for the whole year. I also bought some much needed hairspray and Nat bought me a chocolate bar because she owed me some money. It Nestle and it's dark chocolate. So good. It's my 50th day celebration. It doesn't matter that I already ate six Oreos with lunch. Once we left Carrefour we caught the bus and just stayed on. We wanted to see one of the suburbs so we just stayed and got a tour of the city for 1.10 E. Once the bus finally reached San Juan (my area in Pamplona) we came back here and watched some videos that we taped the other night with the other Pamplonians. They're pretty funny. Then Brandi skyped and she and Nat got to meet. That was nice but Natalie had to leave soon. After she left  continued to skype with Bran. We complained about the crappy things in our life. We're just like that sometimes I suppose. It was nice, none the less :) I love her so much.
         Now we are just waiting for Maite to come home from Judo practice so we can eat dinner. I hope it's soon! I'm hungry. And I need sleep. Lots of it. This is me with my delicious bar of dark chocolate. Goodnight every one! I love you!
