The Other House.

      So right now the kitchen is being redone in house in Zuasti. It just so happens that my family owns an apartment in the middle of Pamplona (wow). We're here for about three weeks while the kitchen is being finished. Now, the wifi is a little bit of a pain, but I can get it right now on the main floor, so I'm not complaining. I get in my room sometimes too! Yay. The apartment is very modern. Everything is white. There are two floors, sort of. It's a loft, I believe. It's so cool. My bed here is smaller but softer than the one in Zuasti. I think I'll sleep very well here.
     A few things about my weekend:

1. I watched the movie "Spy Game" with my host parents. We watched it in English with Spanish subtitles. I think we started the movie late because I didn't understand everything that was going on. That's not how it usually goes when I watch movies in my native language. Sometimes, when watching shows/movies in Spanish, I just sort of make something up if I didn't understand it. It works out well for me.
2. For dinner on Saturday night we ate bocadillos, which are sandwiches, and then I had my tea. Something interesting: my tea bag floated the entire time. Is this odd? I found it odd. I drink a lot of tea and the bag usually does not float.
3. Lately, I have been hooked on The Amazing Race. My friend Tessa Yoder and I want to enter when we're 21. I think we could do pretty well. Since she has been mentioning entering this show so much, I figured I should at least watch a few episodes...so I finished the  first season...tonight. Hahaha. I have a problem? Yepp. Pretty sure I do.
4. I didn't leave the house once all weekend because I was sick. Oh well. It was kind of nice to just sit and make bracelets.
5. I found Even Stevens, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and Friends on the TV here. I understand! Por fin!
6. My host family kept calling me "probrecita" all weekend, which means "poor little thing." Haha. I went through an entire roll of toilet paper that I used as tissues because I didn't have enough...ha.

     Mmmm. We just got done with dinner, so I'm sitting at the table blogging, and my host mom brings in smoothies. We've been having them a lot lately, and they're great. I love them.
     This week so far (I know it's been like two days) has been full of ups and downs.The downs are that I am sick, and that I am really missing being in the Dominican right now. It feels strange...I miss it so much. There is no way that I am missing it next year. No way. And as for the sickness, I stayed home from school today. I could not fall asleep last night until 3 am. Then today I tried to sleep but the kitchen construction was too loud. I'll sleep heavenly tonight. I went to the pharmacy to buy cld medicine and vicks. They didn't have cold medicine....?????? So I bought the vicks and it's helping. Okay I'm sick and I'm getting over it blah, blah, blah...not important. Good news: I've been accepted to the Ohio State Mount Leadership Scholars Program! I am so excited. I wanted it so badly. I can't wait to go to Ohio State. I feel like I am really going to love it there. And hey, I'll only be three hours away from home. That's nothing!
     So at the moment I'm feeling pretty good. I'm really missing my mom, but I'll get to talk to her before I know it. Ojala. Now it's time to get some rest. My passion for blogging has returned, so you'll be hearing a lot more from me! Goodnight! Besos :)
