Funny Friday, Splendid Saturday.

     On Friday I predicted my evening to be as uneventful and predictable as they come, but I was wrong. As soon as I finished eating lunch, I went to my computer to check facebook (duhh) and saw that my cousin Emily was online and asked if she could skyoe since it had been ages since the last time I had talked to her. She immediately replied, "YES!" and I then became overwhelmed with emotion and talked to her for the next two hours about what has happened in our lives the past two months. Times flies with Em and me. At one point during the skype date, my friend Natalie messaged me and asked if I wanted to enjoy the evening with her in Pamplona. I had to tell her no for two reasons 1. I need to unpack from Belgium (still) and 2. I was already in sweats...once this happens on the weekend you usually don't change it til the next day...am I right?
    Instead of unpacking like I should have I watched Sex and the City and made button bracelets. I really enjoy time with my buttons. I realize that saying that may make me the lamest 19 year old ever, but at least I'll admit it and embrace my inner (and not so inner) nerd. As I sat there making bracelets and watching Sex and the City and listening to music, I heard my host dad singing karaoke in the next room. Just belting at the top of his lungs. The best part was that he started with a few Elton songs (Don't Go Breaking My Heart and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) and then moved on to my personal favorite performance of the night, You Raise Me Up. I sat in my room laughing. And laughing. Aaaand laughing.
     To prolong the packing a little bit longer I decided to take a shower before dinner. After my shower I was called down for dinner. I come down the stairs and hear some lady with a strange accent speaking to my host parents. My thoughts were, "Mierda! I'm in sweat pants and my hair is wet...and of course no makeup. Fabulous." So I met this lady looking my best. After she said one sentence I knew exactly where she was from: England. The lady was super nice and funny and it was great to have her there for dinner. Her accent just made me laugh so much. I'm not saying that my accent is that great...but this was just funny. Her Spanish is better than mine though. So whatever. Haha.
     On Saturday I woke up and decided that I should finally unpack my suitcase and unpack I did. I just had a really relaxing day until I caught the 9 o'clock bus into Pamplona to meet my friends for dinner. We ate sandwiched and met my friend Becca's friends that are visiting from home. It was a great night. We laughed and ate chocolate and churros outside little cafes and enjoyed the nice weather. I walked home (to the apartment) around midnight and then watched Sex and the City until I fell asleep.

      This morning I caught the bus back home and then I went to church here in Zuasti. A very typical Sunday. The weather is so beautiful today. Bye everyone! Besos...
