Exams?

     Apparently I have to take exams this week and actually study. I am not looking forward to it at all. But I will try my hardest. Today and yesterday we reviewed a lot in class which meant lots of reading and writing in my journal. I've written so much in my new journal already. I love it. Today after school I came home and received my Valentine's Day package!! I got Spanish notes, two magazines, Mint Chocolate Chip Gum, Reese's (I made the last bag last just long enough...I had one left!), M&Ms, sweet-tarts, my romper, a money belt (so I don't get mugged again ha), a card, Grandma Helen's cookbook, trail mix, spiced chai tea (SO AMAZING) and my sunglasses. It was such a great package. Thanks to my lovely parents! I love them. Today after lunch I went to the city walls and studied Spanish as I waited for my friends. It was such a beautiful day. I sat out in the sun in my sweater and listened to my music while improving this language. Once my friends were there we sat on the walls and talked and then moved to a cafe where we sat and talked some more. When I came home, Julia and her friend were here and I got on my computer and talked to them. They are boy crazy so they were asking me who I thought was the most "guapo" in my class and I told them who I thought. Julia was shocked...she thinks maybe I got the name wrong...but I don't think I did. Haha. That's kind of embarrassing, no? Speaking of embarrassing....I got my philosophy test back yesterday. Wanna hear my score? Negative one out of ten. That's right. I managed to get a negative grade. Never in my life...hahhaha. I think it's funny. I get a negative one and she tells me that I shouldn't use pencil on my tests...ever. C'mon lady....get your priorities straight. She's crazy. Haha. That exam is going to be the death of me. Tomorrow I have History of Spain and History of Art. And I'm probably going to fail. Miserably. But I'll smile through the pain. That's what Mr. Sholtis told me once. He said, "Biddle, you just smile through the pain, don't you?" Yes sir.
     Tonight for dinner we had kebabs and I almost threw up. I ate them so often in the beginning of the year that I can barely stomach them now. I felt so bad, but I could not eat much at all. My host dad told me that I never am forced to eat food and I can choose when to stop. Haha. That was very nice of him. I kept saying sorry because I was brought up to waste no food at all. If you take, you eat it. My host dad said, "You don't like to throw out food do you?" I shook my head. We agreed that it's terrible when there are people dying of hunger. I'm glad we agree. My stomach still feels a little uneasy. I'll drink a lot of water...maybe some Reese's...they help everything. Always. I need to study for my exams and then get some much needed sleep. I still have trouble falling asleep here though. I can adjust to pretty much everything excepts for beds. I just need tons of pillows and blankets and softness. And Chancie! He's so cute. Goodnight everyone. Besos!
