I Dreamed A Dream...

      Of Nougat Pillows. Oh yes. The other night I had a dream about cereal and I had it right after skyping with my mom. She inspired my dream. Here it is: I woke up one morning and started to pour myself a bowl of Nougat Pillows. Next thing I know, there are not only Nougat Pillows coming out of the box, but Fruit Loops and Chocolate Pebbles too. My mom has always been the one to combine the potato chips, dorritos, and pretzels in one container to condense. Why? I do not know. It does not taste better this way, Mother. Regardless, I laughed. Thank goodness it was only a dream.

It's time for a list:

1. Eugenia, one of Merche's friends, is so extremely nice to me. I mean everyone is, but she is extra nice. When I was at her house the other night she would just stare and smile at me and make sure that everything is okay. She is sweet.

2. I love my mom so much. When I picture her I see the strongest yet most precious thing in the world and multiply it by ten. I still cry whenever I see her on skype. It actually makes her happy though because she knows that I still need her. I love you, Mommy.

3. People here are surprised when I tell them I am 18. They think I look 16. What the hell? Is this true? I mean everyone always thinks Brandi looks older than me....but 16?! 

4. The Camino de Santiago goes right through Pamplona. It's one of the first cities on the pilgrimage. You see pilgrims with backpacks and boots daily. It's so cool. I would love to walk it someday. It should be a month/month and a half. Any takers?

       So I did pretty much nothing all day. I cleaned my room and my suitcase that I use as a junk drawer....but as far as being productive that's about it. I watched so many episodes of That 70s Show while I worked on some bracelets. I got to skype with Brody today! It was the first time I had actually talked to him "in person" since September 5th! It was so perfect. He asked me questions like, "What is your favorite food so far? What don't you like?" and most importantly, "Alexandria, how is bed?!" Little questions like that...no one has really asked me about the little things and it just made me happy. It was the most perfect Skype date. After our catch up session I ate dinner around 10. I was so hungry tonight. We had a great salad: tomatoes, turkey chunks (it tastes like bologna though), onions, cucumbers, and dressing. It was great! And it had lots of tomato juice for the bread. Perfect. I think this is my favorite salad. Well it's almost midnight here and I have some exercises to do and an episode of Aquellos Maravillosas 70s to fall asleep to. It helps so much. 

          I hope all is well tonight. Brandi has a volleyball game and I know that Korey came home for it for Kate's senior night. Have a great night, Kate!! Happy Tuesday everyone. I have to go to school tomorrow and face Wednesday: my least favorite schedule of classes. Ughh. Oh well. Goodnight everyone! Besos!
