El Cumple de Elle

     I forgot to bring my journal with me to school today. Wah. But I managed without it somehow. I actually paid attention in class more than usual. In Econ, my teacher actually wrote notes on the board as he spoke and gave out handouts. My kind of education. I learned. Imagine that. So that is good news. I can handle school here. It's just very hard. It's hard to understand in the first place, but then to be expected to retain the information...they are all lectures...so I can't possibly takes notes and listen at the same time. But I'm working on it. I do a lot of day dreaming though. Today I thought about this Toy Story computer game Brandi and I used to play all the time when we were younger. When I talked to her today I told her about it and she got it out. She's going to try playing it later. Haha. We LOVED that game.
     After school I came home and did the usual: lunch, Glee, computer. Then my card came from Chase! Thank goodness I can have money again. I then attempted to make a cake for Elle. It was a French boxed brand. It looked interesting...Then I got Elle's present ready and headed to Rob's to meet the Pamplonians. Everyone was on time. It was amazing. We all ate fries, kebabs, and cake. Everyone loved my chocolate French cake! I was so happy. Now I know none of you (those of you that knew me pre-Spain) are going to believe this...but they all told me I was a good cook. Now I checked, and Hell did not freeze over. When they said this year was going to change you, I believed them, but I was expecting any miracles. Geez Spain, you're working wonders.
     I had a great time laughing with everyone at Doner Kebab and singing to Elle for her 17th birthday. I hope it was an amazing one. I remembered her present but forgot her card at home. I made her a button bracelet and gave her some silly bands, candy, and lotion. It's not much, but hey, all my money was stolen. Hahaha. I then walked home with Athena and Tabea and ate dinner. I was really full though from before so I only had a little bit of salad. Now I am about ready to collapse. I am so exhausted! My positive attitude is back. Completely. Thank goodness. It's so nice to feel like myself again. I mean I'm still a little sad of course, and way over protective of my purse and everything, but my attitude...my mood. So much better. Goodnight everyone. I love you! Besos!
