Lovely Lists

      Today all I have time for is just another quick list! It's been great. I went to school and skyped with my parents and Brentie. At school today Natalie and I went to the wrong classroom (since we got kicked out of the library) and didn't realize it until after they got more desks and made us feel comfortable. It was a math class. Logs! Fun fun! I was never good at logs....anyways we won't be going back. We have to go to a language class instead. Wah. During my skype date I got to see my new and improved living room! Let me tell you, it looks fabulous. Let me also tell you that skyping really helps me. It does not make me homesick, it makes me happy. I can't help it. I don't do it when my host family is home though, except for Sundays. anyways....HAPPY 22ND WEDDING ANNIVERSARY MOMMY AND PAPI! I love them.

1. The milk is very different. It comes room temperature in cartons. You can just put it on the shelf at home. Once you open it though, you must refrigerate it, for obvious reasons. It's whole milk. At home I never drink whole milk. I'm a skim girl, but this will do with my Nougat Pillows. It's just different, that's all!
2. In Spain (and most of Europe), you choose a track to be on in high school. There are not mandatory core classes exactly. I like it that way, but I also like having variety.
3. Instead of Victoria's Secret they have Women's Secret. Haha. Lovveee it.

      Well that was an extremely short list. In English class today we listened to presentations (in English) about the Spanish culture. They mentioned bull fights, wine, the food, and fiestas. It was really hard to understand some of them. Some were really great though. I don't know if I could do that in Spanish. Ha. That's so pathetic. After the presentations we moved onto music. Our teacher played "I Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem and Rihanna. The uncut version. That's right. We had to fill in the missing lyrics and put the chorus in order. It was great! I love this song and she had to play it three times for everyone to understand it. It's so crazy that they can play songs like this. I mean they drop the "f" bomb on more than one occasion. Just saying. I forgot to mention that they other day in history class we watched a movie. After the characters ate dinner in the movie they guy said he needed "dessert." A lot of people were having "dessert" in this movie. I love Spain. Right before break today my counselor handed out report cards. Guess who didn't get one. That's right. This girl. I was SO happy! They're not even giving us marks! Woo!!!! I love Spain, have I mentioned this?
       Tonight is the big corn hole tourney at MHS. Uncle Dana and my Dad are a team and I like their chances. But my mom did make a valid point on skype today- they are usual drinking when they play. Tonight they are playing sober. Hahaha. So we'll see. Brandi and my mom are going to be a team as well. Then the big game is tonight: Marlington vs. Louisville. I want us to win so badly! GO DUKES! I talked to Brent and told him good luck! I hope I receive emails full of good news tomorrow.
        Tonight I am going shopping with Natalie. We're going to a huge grocery store. We're pretty excited. I'm going back to her house afterwards to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show and stay the night. Tomorrow I am going to the mall and then out with the Pamplonians in the evening. Do you think the name Pamplonians is silly? Tess was making fun of me for it on skype last time! Anyways, Natalie is staying the night here then afterwards. I have another busy weekend ahead of me. So go Dukes and go Buckeyes! I love you all! I pretty much love anyone who reads my blog because I spend so much time on it every day. It means so much to me when people tell me that they read it. I'll be back tomorrow or Sunday. I'm living the life. Besos!

  1. Hey! It's Paige- we met very briefly at the orientation. I've been reading your blog, and since I get annoyed when people don't post comments on mine, I decided to post one on yours to let you know that I really enjoy it :) You're a great writer, and I love reading other exchangers' blogs because it's fun to read their thoughts on the stuff we're all going through! Have a great week and keep blogging!
