What a great day. I'm happy, that ever since I decided that Thursday is my favorite day of the week, that it's held to be true consistently. I just love them. School today went so fast because it's the best combination of classes, in my opinion. I had to read again in Literature, which is always dreadful because the vocabulary is atrocious. I sound horrible. I get super nervous and then begin to go short of breath and stammer. Can you imagine listening to this? Ugh. I am in self loathing for those 5-10 minutes of personal torture. But other than that, the school say went really well!
After school I caught the bus, alone today. Julia and Alberto had school until this evening. Once I arrived home I saw the two construction workers slaving away at the front of the house. The kitchen is being extended and a lot of remodeling is being done right now. It's quite a little mess. I, once again, could not open the freaking door, so one of the workers helped me out. I made sure to observe carefully this time. It looked as though he pulled on the door knob and then turned the key. For lunch, Enrique, Aurora, and I had pumpkin soup, dippy eggs, corn on the cob, yogurt with honey, and wine. I told them that I absolutely love dippy eggs...that I make them for breakfast all the time at home. They were surprised to hear that for some reason.
Having finished lunch, I headed upstairs to skype with my parents (I am skyping much less now, by the way...my life is becoming so much busier). I was complaining that I was tired so my dad told me that I needed to go run. I obeyed. I put on my tennis shoes for the second time in four months and then I was on my way. I ran and walked...I'll be honest. I like running for the first five minutes or so...and then I feel like it is just pure torture. But I'll do it anyways. My dad said that I have to run at least three times a week or else it does nothing. *Groan.* But oh well. I did feel much better afterwards. Yay. After my run I showered, then got on the bus to Pamplona, shopped for ingredients for Buckeyes (powdered sugar and peanut butter are SOOO expensive here), and then finally went to theatre. I had a really great time. It was nice to actually be able to talk to people. At school it's kind of difficult. I then took the bus home and had dinner with my family. We had salad and quiche, then had turron for dessert. After dinner we all watched a Spanish sitcom together. It's pretty funny.
A few random things:
1. We eat melon and dip it in milk chocolate. Yum.
2. We have cheese with this strawberry jam-like stuff and walnuts for dessert. Also yum.
3. Aurora is always telling Julia and Alberto the proper ways to eat and stuff...I'm tuning in.
4. I love my family here. I don't want to leave :( and it's not even been two weeks.
5. In English class, they're learning about tenses that I didn't know existed. It called the future, but we've been dealing with the past. I'm not so sure if that makes any sense. Just saying.
6. I met a girl from Estonia (near Russia and Finland) at a cafe yesterday. She's living with a family here and teaching their son English. She found me on facebook. How cool is that?! She's great!! So sweet and fun to talk to. I think we'll be great friends.
7. I'm exhausted and I neeeeed sleep.
8. Nighty night everyone!
