I'm just going to skip writing about school today. It was pretty uneventful. I studied lots of Spanish and wrote lots of Spanish and ate an amazing cheese bocadillo. Yep that's it. I took the bus home after school after meeting Mitchell and talking to him for a little bit about his day before we both depart for our bus stops. This week Mitch and I agreed to speak in Spanish together. Actually, every week during the week is castellano and on the weekends, English. I get so sidetracked...could I ever be a writer? I would have people all over the place and I mean this is just about my life. Can you imagine if I tried to come up with a story and then try to have people understand what is going on in my head? Now, back to my day...once I got home I climbed the stairs and saw a letter lying on my desk from Aunt Bevie, Taylor, and Morgan. Three letters! They were all fabulous. Taylor told me that she checks my blog everyday and that I need to keep up with it. So this is for you Tay. My cousin, my sister. I love you, and I miss you so much. I'll be writing you soon my loveeee :)
Today it was only Alberto, Enrique, Mile, and I at lunch. We had rice with chicken and peppers. It was so good. Mile is such a fabulous cook. During lunch Enrique asked me how many letters I've received this year because it seems as though I am always getting them. Hahaha. It's true, I do have quite a few (thanks to everyone who writes me!!!) and then he asked how many people I write to and I honestly don't even know. Quite a few. I think I sent out about 35-40 Christmas cards. Dios mio. But there is something so special about receiving a hand written letter, or a postcard. It shows that a person went out of their way to make something more personal. I like that.
After lunch I grabbed my bathing suit, cap (it's required...I have a big head and it's so hard for me to put it on), and flip flops and headed for the indoor pool in Zuasti. It was so nice. There were only about 5 people in the pool the total time I was there. While there I did laps which were actually tiring and then sat in the hot tub before going into the sauna. I had such a relaxing time there. I was all by myself and it felt good to think quietly...I mean I have the chance to do this often (school), but it was different for some reason. My mind felt clear when I left.
Once I arrived back home I had a three hour skype date with Tess. It was like we were just hanging out, which was incredibly nice. I mean talking about random things until your ear falls off is what best friends are for, right? Tessie and I had a great time. After we said goodbye I headed down stairs to make dinner (frozen pizzas...score) since my host parents are gone for the night. Alberto, Julia, and I ate and then I showered. Now, here I am, in between episodes of Sex and the City, which has become my latest obsession. I swear, I am not like this in the states. I usually don't watch this much TV...pero bueno, no pasa nada, verdad? Espero que si.
It's time for bed now. I have to make sure I get up on time because I have to make sure my siblings are up on time too. I am la jefa while my host parents are away. Hahaha. Buenas noches! Besos. I love you Tay! P.S. When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change, 'cause girl you're amazing just the way you are.
