This morning I woke up around 9 and got myself ready for church. I misjudged walking time so I had to run there. That's right. In a dress. It's a good thing that there's not many people out on Sunday mornings. I made it to church right on time. It is such a gorgeous church. As soon as I walked in a found a pew and started praying. I don't know what it was, but I could not stop crying. Maybe it was because I was so emotional because it had been the longest I've ever gone without going to church. There weren't too many people there but there are four masses in a day and I went to the earliest one. There were mostly older people there. I really enjoyed church this morning. I cried a little after communion. Tears were falling on the pew in front of me as I was kneeling. Again, I do not know the reason for these tears, but they were flowing. I'm not homesick. I don't feel any desire to be at home right now, I was just emotional I suppose. Mass only lasted about forty minutes because they don't sing extra songs and the sermon was pretty short. I put my headphones on, presses play, and started on my walk back to the apartment.
I came home and did some facebooking and emails. Merche left for a little bit and she had me keep an eye on lunch (all I had to do was turn the stove off when the timer rang). After I turned the stove off I took a heavenly nap. It was so nice. I slept for almost two hours! Merche woke me up for lunch and asked if I felt sick. I told her I was just so tired and her response was that Sundays are for sleeping. I'm so happy we agree. I think I had chicken balls rather than meatballs for lunch today with some kind of gravy over top. I liked them. Lunch is always bigger on Sundays. We usually get together with family for lunch on Sunday, but not this week.
After lunch I skyped until I could no longer talk. It was crazy. I got to speak with Korey, my Mom, my Dad, Brandi, Emily, Aunt Barbie, Uncle Dana, Taylor, Morgan, Aunt Bev, Russel, Nick, Uncle Jake, and Livy. That's a lot of people, okay? It wore me out! I don't know if I can handle skype sessions like this every Sunday. I really enjoyed each one though. I do need to start spreading them out more. Livy told me tonight that I came to Spain to live here and learn the language. She told me that my relationships with people at home won't change if we skype less. She is always right. Always. Except for the time she told me that my phone had no chance after sitting for three hours in the rain. After a night in a bowl of rice it was fine! Oh Samsung (this is how I refer to my phone), how I miss you.
After talking to Livy I ate dinner. Salad! We had cheese tonight too. It's really good. There is a special container for the cheese and it lasts a really long time. I need to get my mom one of these because our cheese always gets nasty after like a week. Then she tells me to just cut off the moldy parts but I learned in biology that it can be in other parts of the cheese but you may not be able to see it. Or maybe that's just with bread...whatever. The only moldy cheese I want to eat is Cottage Cheese. I'm not sure if they have that here. I miss it a little.
Oh and I forgot to mention that today I chatted on facebook with Alejandro (the exchange student from Venezuela staying in Alliance, going to MHS). It was so great! I met him a few days before I left so that was nice. I asked him about the teachers and the football games and what he liked and didn't. I apparently aid "I love that" a lot because he toldme, "you love everything. Even if it's not alive!" I told him he already knew me so well. I do love just about everything. I can't help it. I'm easily pleased and entertained. Good attribute for an exchange student? Perhaps.
It's time for me to watch That 70s Show and go to sleep. I don't want to have to run to school again. Not fun. Enjoy your Sunday evening everyone and have a good start to the week tomorrow. We start Hamlet in Literature. I am so excited! Buenas noches!
