Harry Potter.

     On Saturday, I slept in. Until 12:30. It was so wonderful. Once I woke up I ate some breakfast and applied to the University of Dayton. I began to fill out the common application which was necessary for Allegheny. This application is outrageously horrible. I had so many questions for my Mom so I called her and I began to telling her about some of them. Then I said, "I really just don't want to this." She followed with, "Alex, do you even want to go to Allegheny?" I replied, "Not really." My Dad's comment from the background, "Then just forget it." Simple as that I clicked out of it and haven't gone back since.
     Saturday evening was pretty eventful. Natalie met me at my house and then we headed into town to buy our tickets for Harry Potter. We bought them and then headed to get some gloves for Natalie (she left her last pair on the bus). After she picked them out and bought them we headed to meet Mitchell. We walked all around town as Mitchell tried to remember this amazing tea shop in the rain. No success. So we went to the supermarket to buy some snacks for the movie. After, we ate at Doner Kebab.
     We headed to the movie theatre early so we could get good seats and meet our friend Matt. While standing in line Mitchell said, "Guys, did we ever pay Rob?" OH MY GOSH. I began to freak out. We forgot to pay our favorite cook/waiter in Pamplona. We were that excited about this movie. So I calmed down and Natalie said we will just go on Monday and explain the situation and pay him and everything will be okay. My stomach was in knots all night. We watched the movie and it was so incredibly fantastic that I couldn't even speak at the end. I understood pretty much everything without getting a headache. Yes! I thought the movie was very well done. I absolutely loved it. After the movie we said goodbye Matt and Mitchell and headed home. Natalie stayed the night.
     This morning Natalie left for her bus stop and I got ready for church. I left early for church because I wanted to check if Rob was working so I could explain and pay him. Luckily, he was. I was so excited to see him! I handed him ten euros and I told him to keep it all (the bill was 6.80). He wouldn't have it. He only charged me five and said, "Muchas gracias." He is a saint. I told him we would never ever do that intentionally, which he knew, and now everything is great! I smiled the entire time as I walked to church.
     Church was so packed this morning that I couldn't even sit in a pew. The Pamplona Chorus was there. Only on today and only at that time. How lucky am I?! They were phenomenal. I was blown away at how beautiful they sounded. To end the mass they sang The Hallelujah Chorus, which I have sang twice in Select Choir. They sang in English and I joined them. :) It was an incredible moment. I was so happy that it brought tears to my eyes. Happy, happy tears.
     Once I got home I took a nap and woke up to let the Sunday Skyping Sessions begin. I had a wonderful time talking to everyone and catching up. Now it's 1:09 am and I am ready for bed. Another day of exams tomorrow. Woo! Congrats Dukes and Buckeyes! Another great week. I had an amazing day! Goodnight. Besos!
My new boots!! And the Cathedral at night!
