I Am So Much Better Than Before

What a day. I am so exhausted! I think it will be much easier if I just make a list of my day. I'm too tired to write stories (I'm sure it will end up just as long as the others...just wait).

1. My history teacher passed out tests today and then she laughed when she saw I had one and took it away from me :) Kind lady.
2. I went to the police station today for my visa extension. Merche and I had to wait an hour and twenty minutes...and we had an appointment. We are so on Spanish time. I was really worried about my meeting for some reason but it was actually easy. They just told me that I had to get three passport style pictures taken (which I did tonight...they gave me eight. I clearly said tres) and I had to pay the 10.20 E. Or I at least tried to pay the fee. The lady at the bank told me the number had too many digits so I need to ask about that when I return the police station tomorrow morning...alone. Gah. My first time taking the bus alone! It's easy. No problems. I just don't feel like missing more school. Really.
3. I skyped with my mom and dad today after school. It was so nice. I cried a lot, but that happens. I'm just so emotional here! I never was at home. It's so bizarre for me. So I cry. There could be worse things. I could have pink eye or something. Ew.
4. I met Natalie after skyping and we went to McDonald's! Delish. I got a Happy Meal as always. It included a Hello Kitty toy, a cheeseburger, french fries, bottled water, and ice cream. All for the small price of 3.65! Everything was great. I can't believe I missed McDonald's. I never even eat there. It just felt a little comforting. That was nice.
5. Natalie and I walked to Parque Yamaguchi and ran into one of the other exchange students while he was on a run. It was nice to seem him. We walked around and stumbled across a KFC. Biscuits anyone?
6. We met some other exchangers in el Plazo del Castillo and went to the candy shop. I bought a little birthday present for someone special there. Then we talked and headed home.
7. Maite's boyfriend came over tonight and let me download the entire 190 episodes of That 70s Show in Spanish from his external hard drive. I'm watching the first one tonight. It's a good thing I practically have the entire series memorized. That should help.
8. We had a really late dinner and I didn't eat much because of McDonald's. Then I showered and now I am here. So read to watch my show and fall asleep.

Today was great. It flew by and I am up late with things I have to get done and it feels like my old self is coming back to life! It's great! I feel so much better :) I saved Glee for tomorrow so I have something to look forward to and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to take a nap. I stayed up late last night too because I couldn't stop watching RENT the live on broadway final performance....so amazing. I only cried during "Without You." But I did skip "Goodbye Love" because that could have gotten ugly. I feel happier but sleepier. I'll settle :) Buenas noches mis amores!
