Buckeyes! Mmm.

     So yesterday, after my nap and eating lunch, I felt so much better, so I decided to make Buckeyes for my host family. It took me a long time to make them just because it's a pretty slow process if you're making them alone. I had them done in time for dinner though. We ate salad and steak and then the buckeyes! I couldn't find any aluminum foil or wax paper so I had put them directly on the plates. It turns out that this presented a little problem...they stuck. Haha. So we're scraping the buckeyes off the plate. But it's not even important now, because they loved them! Julia, my host sister, was going crazy over them. My host mom said that she wanted to take some over to the neighbors (we've been using their washer and dryer because our kitchen is being remodeled...I know that sounds a little strange...with the kitchen and laundry, but there's a separate little room...ANYWAYS...) and Julia's shock stricken face asks, "Pero, cuantos?!" Translation: But, how many?! Hahaha. It made me happy that she loves them so much. I'm going to teach her how to make them and then my family is going to teach me how to make tortilla de patata, arroz con leche, and maybe some other things.
     I woke up this morning feeling a little better, so I got ready for school and went. I missed philosophy (Coincidence? No.) to go to the police station for my student residency card. Everything went wonderfully today. The guy remembered me from last time and said, "Today, you have it." But I'm thinking, "Yeah...I should have had it two weeks ago..." Pero bueno, me da igual. Yo la tengo ahora. The rest of my day at school went pretty fast. I had to laugh in Literature when my teacher asked me what I thought of Madame Bovary...Uhmm yo ne se....lo siento. The class laughed. Works for me.
     After school, Aurora picked Julia and me up (and saved us from the rain) and we came back to the house for lunch. I felt terrible after lunch. So I came upstairs and watched Harry Potter and slept. I had set my alarm for what I thought was 5:50 pm...which should be 17:50 (because we run on the 24 hour clocks here) but my head must have really been hurting because I set it for 15:50 which is really 3:50. Needless to say, I overslept. I then called called my mom to say goodbye before the left Miami for Santo Domingo. I got to talk to my Aunt Marlene!! I was sad that I couldn't talk to everyone though...I thought their plane left two hours later and had intended on saying hello to everyone...but it didn't happen. Marlene made me cry...but she doesn't know that. I just became super emotional when I really knew that they were all together, my Dominican family. I love them all.
     I ate pizza with Alberto and Julia and then we watched Paris Hilton's "My New BFF." What a joke. It's kind of embarrassing. Reality TV. I laughed a lot though. It's just a little ridiculous. Then I showered and watched more TV. I couldn't find anything good though. I'm so happy I get to sleep in tomorrow. Besos. Goodnight!
