So this morning I am just sitting in History of Art listening...trying to focus and comprehend. On the slide show behind my teacher is a map of Europe. I glanced at it and then began to stare. I couldn't take my mind off of all of those countries. I want to go. I want to discover culture. See every sight. Eat the most authentic food. Speak the most beautiful languages. Meet incredible people. I want to experience world in it's entirety. There is so much more than just our small towns. So much to see and do and experience. Would you like to join me?
After I finished daydreaming about all of the places I want to go I observed the fashion here. Girls wear skinny jeans and leggings. No flares. And so many boots. They are all so gorgeous. I want, I want, I want! There are so many American style hoodies. I was very surprised to see this..but happy none the less. The guys like to wear sweaters. Man scarves are totally in as well. Girls wear scarves like crazy as well. They wear pretty plain colors...lots of tan, brown, grey, and black. They are all pretty fashionable. More so than at Marlington.
Some random things:
1. I miss kissing my parents goodnight on the lips. I just thought about this today and I cried in class. Is that weird? Should I be over that by now?
2. My hair grows like an inch a day here. When I get home I think I can donate and make 5 wigs. Haha. But my hair seriously is very long.
3. I feel my Spanish improving. Conversations are easier. Words come more quickly and I comprehend a little more each day. It's still impossibly hard though. I don't mean to sugarcoat anything.
4. The leaves here turn brown and die. Wah. Also, it's freezing.
5. I had Nougat Pillows for lunch :D
6. My toothpaste tastes like the spearmint favored gum drops. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time, but now I know and I like it.
7. I love olives. They have huge olives here and they all have pits. They are great though. I always save them for last when eating my salad for dinner.
Today was the long day at school. I read Harry Potter most of the day and it's starting to become very enjoyable. I understand most of it which makes me happy. I came home for lunch and a quick nap and then headed back to school. It went pretty quickly. Once I got home I received a skype phone call from Tess as she was headed back to school in the tornado. This worried me, but she is fine I'm sure. It was a great talk. I really miss her. I miss how easy all of my friendships are at home. I love my friends here too...it just take a little more time to be completely comfortable...for all of us to really know each other. They all call my goody two shoes....have I mentioned this? Haha. Is this true?! I was able to speak with Joey for a bit and then my dad and Grandpa! My grandpa's surgery went great! I was praying all day, so that's great news. After skyping I finished today's "to-do" list and then ate dinner. now I'm sitting in the living room watching the TV and blogging. This is much better than just sitting in my room, don't you think? Merche is reading a cookbook on pasta and Maite is looking for something in the kitchen.
I had such a perfectly lazy night (but I did do my exercises). Tomorrow I am looking forward to GLEE!!!! It's the Rocky Horror Halloween episode and I'm jealous because you all have the opportunity to watch it tonight on your big screen plasma TVs. I have to wait until tomorrow and to watch it on my 13" MacBook. Haha. But I'm not complaining...not really."Sweet Disposition" by the Temper Trap just came on the TV. They are showing a youtube video of American money on the trees. I really love this song. It's from (500) Days of Summer soundtrack and a commercial from a few months ago. I think it's great. Now it's time for me to finish my relaxing day by relaxing (and going to bed before midnight). Besos! Os quiero.
