Living Life.

     It may see that I have been avoiding my blog lately, but that's not the case. It's just that life is happening. I'm becoming busier every day...and it's not always that I have more I need to do, it's that I become more comfortable and I don't think about writing about whatever I did because it's not new anymore, you know? I'm not sure if it's interesting for the world wide web to know that I eat Nougat Pillows every morning and then walk to school and then come home and eat lunch and lalala. My life isn't boring by any means...I don't know how to describe it. But you know, just for the heck of it I'll tell you what I did.
     So Tuesday, the usual. I went to school and then came home for lunch and then went back to school. Then, oooh and this is pretty exciting, I studied for my Spanish History test. And no, Hell did not freeze over. Merche walked in my room and became all excited because I was studying. It gave me motivation to keep reading about Spain in Spanish. Gahhh. I then ate dinner. Salad. Surprise!
     On Wednesday (and this is a bit more interesting) I woke and ate yogurt and a clementine. Look out! Ha. Then I went to school and took my history test. Victoria, the profesora de historia (hehe), gave me a sheet of paper that told me to write what I knew about the Spanish Restoration. I wrote a full page in Spanish! I was pretty proud of myself. I think I did a pretty good job. Tabea also received the test. Afterwards she said this, "I think in fact I may have written about something other than what the exam was about." Then I asked, "Well, what did you write about Tabs?" Tabea then goes on to tell me that she wrote about machines and factories and child labor. Me: "...umm, Industrialization?" We laughed. A lot. And she said, "How am I supposed to know about what is happening in Spain? How does she expect me to know that?" Tabea doesn't have a book yet so I don't expect her to know about it. This just made me laugh. I love you Tabea. Ich liebe dich. That's right. I'm learning German. In Latin class I worked on Brandi's bracelet and everyone was fascinated. The other classmates were working silently when my teacher got up and approached me. She just asked how I did it and she told me that it looked great! She is so cool. My favorite teacher by far and I can't learn from her (wahh). Most of the other teachers would have told me to read a Spanish book or something.
     After school I came home and had lunch. I then made brownies with mint chips. Mmm. They are so good. A little gooey, but sometimes that makes them better, right? I then met up with the Pamplonians in a cafe for Athena's birthday. I had this amazing tea called cocktail de frutas. It was amazing. It reminded me of Muggs so much. Mm. Not the cafe, just the tea. I also had a delicious chocolate muffin. Que rico. After chatting for two hours in the cafe, Elle and I headed back to my house to eat a salad with Merche. It was yummy. I then attempted to call Brandi for her birthday but my skype would not sign on. I began to freak out. How can skype not work on my sissy's birthday?! I immediately signed onto facebook and thank goodness Ben was on. He called Brandi and told her that I couldn't call, so she signed onto facebook and I could wish my best friend an amazing 17th birthday. Here is Bran's shout out: Sister, I love you so much. You are my best friend. You know absolutely everything about me and I miss you so incredibly much. You are so beautiful, smart, and hilarious/evil. I just want to ask, "What's new pussy cat?"
     After eating dinner, Elle and I got ready and then met Becca. We waited for the others (Athena, Dara, Mitchell, Tabs, and Natalie). Then we headed to the bar to dance. My curfew was extended until 2 am. Yay!! So Elle and I left around 10 after 2 since it's about a 3 minute walk to my house (we were on Spanish time). We came home and crashed. Dancing is exhausting! We then had a plan to get up and make buckeyes but we heard the alarm this morning...didn't say a word to each other...and went back to sleep. Ha. True friends. We finally woke up around noon and I introduced Elle to Nougat Pillow (which she loved) and then she left to catch her bus.
     Once Elle left I made some dippy eggs for myself. Mm. How wonderful. I had to eat lunch about an hour or two later. Needless to say, I didn't eat much for lunch. After lunch I did a whole lot of nothing. I honestly can't even remember. It's break. Time to relax :)
     I finally got dressed around 5 and left the house. I went to the post office and then met Becca. Becca came back here and we ate my brownies and drank tea. We then watched RENT. I cried. Quite a bit. Haha. It's just like my favorite work of art in the universe. That's all. As soon as Becca left for home, Merche and I ate dinner. Tonight's salad was my favorite ever. Oh my gosh. You wanna hear what was in it?! Yes? Okay fabulous. Tonight's salad consisted of tomatoes, tuna, hard boiled eggs, onions. green olives, oil, vinegar, and salt. It was riquisimo. Oh my goodness. I loved it. I never wanted it to end. I love the food in Spain. After dinner I washed the dishes and Merche tried to find a good movie for us to watch. She found something and then made us popcorn. We started watching it and then the phone rang. She answered and was gone for awhile and the movie was kind of boring so I came in my room. After about an hour or so (maybe less) she went out in the living room and then came back and came into my room to say goodnight. She didn't like the movie either. Haha. I watched a few episodes of Friends (yes, I'm extremely addicted) and now here I am.
      It's so strange to me that tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Merche told me that we are staying the night at the grandparents with the whole family. And then we'll eat with everyone on Christmas. I haven't been too sad about Christmas yet. I mean it sort of just feels like I'm skipping it this year. I'm going through all the motions...baking, wrapping presents, singing/listening to Christmas Carols...but I don't feel it. It's a strange feeling. I don't know what to think about it. I'll write more tomorrow. Hopefully. If not, Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy the time with family and friends and good food. That's what it's about. The three "F"s. Goodnight. Besos. I love you.
