Words of Wisdom.

     Yesterday I went to school. On my way to school I saw someone walking their dog and had the desire to take Chance for a walk. I miss my best friend. If he were here with me it would honestly be so much easier. I miss kissing his forehead and taking naps with him and giving him treats. I love you buddy. School was pretty typical. Like I said, routine is setting in. It's bound to happen anywhere, but it just got to me a little this week.
     After school I came home and ate lunch and watched The Simpsons with Maite. Then I got to skype with Tessa!!!! This is the first we have talked in two and a half months! It was so nice to talk to her and compare our situations and cultures and everything. It was fabulous. After that skype session I moved on to the next: MOMMY! It had been the longest we've gone without talking ever in my life: five days. Don't judge us-we're just close. So we talked and it was amazing as always. We were talking about Thanksgiving and she told me she already bought the turkey. Then she told me that she had an idea. So I'm thinking, "Mom has an idea. What is she going to do? Make me a dinner and then eat it in front of me on skype?" So I was a little nervous. She told me that she was going to make me a dinner and then put it in the freezer so I could eat it when I got home. That's when the tears came. They were good tears though-happy tears. Who thinks of this? How could I ever ask for a better mom? I am so lucky. After awhile she called my dad in to say goodbye to me so the three of us were talking. I told them I am so confused sometimes with this whole skyping topic because some people are telling me to do it less and some are saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and I just get all confused. And my dad said, "Do what makes you happy. Screw everybody else."Said with a smile of course and then, "It's always worked out great for me." Oh Papa Bear, I love you.
     After talking to my parents I met Natalie and we walked around the city and went in shops and bought pastries and olives and ate them in the streets. The atmosphere was wonderful. I love the feeling of knowing that I live in Europe. I live here. This isn't a trip or a vacation. This is my life. I do have one complaint though: the shops here close around eight so everyone can be home in time for dinner. Wahh. I need more time to think about what shoes I want to buy. Don't be cruel. I'm on the search for some great Spanish shoes, by the way. There are everywhere and they are fabulous. After a few hours we headed back here because I had a date with the love of my life: LIVY! I love talking to her. I miss her so much. It's so difficult. I hate that we can't spend all day together and then talk an hour before we feel asleep every night and share a room. It's just hard. But we're dealing with it. I talked to Liv until it was time for dinner. We ate dinner together and then I did the dishes and watched a little bit of TV with my family. I had another cough attack so Merche has me talking Ibuprofen and cough medicine now.
     I went bed after spending a little bit of time with my MacBook. I slept for ten hours! I feel so much better. I think this cold syrup is helping. This morning I ate my Nougat Pillows and that's basically all I've done all day haha. I'm going to work on my Ohio State Scholars essay for a bit and then eat lunch. After lunch I'm meeting friends at the mall. I want some shoes! I also want to see if I can buy my ticket for Harry Potter! I'm so excited to this, even if it has Spanish dubs. I can deal. So today: GO DUKES & GO BUCKEYES!!!!! Have a great Saturday everyone. Besos!
