I Feel You Christmas...

     I'm very sad that it's December 17th and I only have 10 blog posts for the month. I've missed 7 days already. That is just unacceptable...but I am becoming much busier. Hmm. Yesterday. Yesterday I slept in a bit (until 9) and then got ready for the police station. I got there for my appointment at 10 and then had to wait at least 30 minutes until I could talk to someone. The talking was easy. The man just told me I needed to pay (again) at the and then return to be finger-pritned. So I came home and ate my sandwich here. I thought there was no point in going to school for the break. I took my time and I talked to my mom because I had a mini break down after the police station. I was just so frustrated that I have to go through all of this again. I just wanted to be done. And I wanted my pin number. Anyways, I got off of skype happy and then headed to school. School went quickly since I was only there for Latin and Economics.
     After school I came home to a big envelope from Livy that had a Christmas card from her, a letter, a million post it notes filled with inside jokes, a calendar from Grandma (she accidently sent it to Livy), and an angel story book from Grandma. It made me so incredibly happy. Soon after, I received a message from Paula on facebook that said my mom had called her from work and told her to give the name and number of the person at the bank I needed to call for my pin. Thank you Paula!!!! I had to call three times until I was finally able to talk to Corey about changing my number. He was so helpful and everyone on the phone was so nice. Alliance, Ohio. How sweet :)
     Once I knew that I had access to money, I gathered my Christmas cards and met my friends to go to the ATM, Correos (post office), and shopping! After doing those three things I headed to theatre. We watched the play that we are doing. I honestly don't like it that much, but that's not really important. It was a lot of fun. We ate afterwards and one of my friends, Norea, was teaching me a Spanish Christmas song. I came home for dinner and we had potatoes and ham. I was so surprised. I was like, "Where is my saladddd?" Haha. But dinner was good nevertheless. Then I was so exhausted that I couldn't even blog. It's sad, I know.
     This morning I slept in again. I got ready and then headed for the bank to pay for my student card (once again). Spain, haven't I given you enough money already? It was easy. I then caught a bus to the police station and I was in and out of there in no time. I headed back home to just relax until after the break. I felt I deserved this hour and a half to do so. So now hopefully everything is done. No more trips to the police station...only to pick up my card in a month...other than that, I am so over the police station. Although yesterday I saw some guy with a Dominican Republic Passport and I really wanted to talk to him, but he looked kind of irritated so I resisted. I feel like part of me is from the DR...I was thinking like, "Oh my gosh! You're from there too?!" I just love it. Everything. Ohh I want a papaya and pineapple milkshake now. I want to be working the autoclave (an instrument sterilizer)....I am such a nerd. Anyways. Moving on...I could write about the Dominican forever.
     At school today I took a test in Language class. Yes, Spanish language. It actually was not that bad at all. I feel that I could have done really great if I had more time. I just don't feel that answering one out of three questions is going to cut it. The rest of the day we went to the "chapel" and listened to a speech about safety. They talked about robbery quite a bit. Fabulous. Just what I wanted to hear about. After school I came home to a hot dog and mashed potatoes. Merche, I love you. What a wonderfully odd combination. I loved it. I received a letter from Emily that made me so happy as well. There is nothing like Snail Mail. I can't explain it.
     I then talked to Emily and Brent for a bit and then became Christmas creative. I made some cute trees out Chocolate wrappers and magazines. I like to recycle. After while, I met Natalie to continue the Christmas shopping. Then we met up with Mitch, Elle, Tabs, and Athena at a Mexican restaurant for dinner. I was so excited to eat Mexican...but...wah. It was super expensive. It was not your typical authentic Mexican food and it made me sad. The guacamole was fabulous, so it was worth it. I might some guacamole tomorrow. I've never tried making it, but hey, it can't be that hard, right?
     I came home and made presents and wrapped presents and watched Friends and The Grinch. What another wonderful evening. I also came to the realization that I am just good at Christmas because I love it so much. I know almost every word to every Christmas song, I'm super creative with my present wrapping, I love the movies...I don't know....can Christmas be a talent? Can I add this to my resume?
     I am now really exhausted. I have another full day ahead of me. Shopping, wrapping presents, cleaning my room, baking, and going to Elle's for the Pamplonians Christmas Party are all on my agenda. I'm so excited!!! Gahh! I just love Christmas! I need to get a good nights sleep now. I'm so happy to sleep in for the third day in a row. Que suerte yo tengo!
