Perfection.

     At this moment in my life I can't help but think, "is this what perfect feels like?" The only way my life could get better is if someone offered me and Emily camel rides for tomorrow. Other than that, I feel like this is the life. This is what I signed up for. This is what I signed for with BLUE INK on four different applications, endless papers, and visas forms. After everything I have been through, I can say it was more than worth it. I feel so happy I could cry. So would you all like to know why I am so happy? Well I'm going to tell you anyways. (Isn't this fun? I can do whatever I want on my own website)
     Since I last wrote I found out that I finished school today. So I am officially done with high school forever. It's fabulous because I now have the rest of the month to hang out with my friends and do what I want. It was a surprise to me though. I thought I had to go until May 26th. YAY. I'm so happy that I'm finally done.
     My friends finally came home from London and I waited at the bus station for them and ran and hugged them. I was so happy that they were FINALLY home. 12 days is a long time. I'm so happy that the whole group is back together. That same day I got my Easter package from my mom which included socks, Easter candy, a spoon bracelet, and buttons. I then made 4 button bracelets later that night.
     On Saturday we had a Rotary District Conference in San Sebastian. We went to this gorgeous mountain top/seaside hotel and mingled and ate pintxos until we had to speak a little bit about ourselves in our smashing Rotary Blazers filled with pics from all of the world. I love them. After the conference we went to a Sidraria, which is a big restaurant with giant barrels of hard cider with long tables. The Rotary members kept telling us to have more sidra, so that we did. Lunch was a lot of fun. After lunch we went on a walk through San Sebastian and met up with our friend Andrew who lives there before getting on the bus and heading home. On the bus rides there and back we played "Who's who" by placing each of us in famous characters in pop-culture. We like talking about ourselves....That night I went home to an empty house so I showered and then got a call from my host family asking if I was hungry. They brought me home an entire meal from McDonald's. It was the first time I've had anything from there in months. And it tasted pretty alright :)
     Since Sunday was Mother's Day I spent it at home with my family. We went on a two hour bike ride with my host aunt and uncle's family. We rode to the park and sat and talked there for awhile. Once we were home I gave Nuria, my host mom, the card, lotion, and button bracelet I made for her. That night our power went out that night for a minute and then came back on in every room except for my host parents' so Nuria asked if she could bring the sewing machine in my room and sew there since there was a light. Of course I said of course and she sewed sheets and pants while I wrote in my journal. It was so nice because we just talked the whole time. She then noticed my colossal collection of jewelry and got excited. She said that she also had a lot and she brought all of it in my room to show me! She ended up giving me two rings and a bracelet. (The other day I was doing the dished after lunch and she gave me a bracelet for no reason!! So sweet!) She then asked if I could make one of her bracelets smaller, so I did. It was pretty easy. I love my host mom so much.
     Yesterday I went shopping and bought new shoes and a skirt. Today I also went shopping and bought a bathing suit. I'm done with shopping for a little while...Tonight for dinner we had this amazing squash soup with cheese and french fries in it and it was so amazing! After dinner I helped Juan Diego with studying for his tests tomorrow. At first he was really shy, but then he really opened up and we had such a fun time. He's adorable and sweet! (He's seven, by the way). After studying I washed the dishes and then my host parents came home from grocery shopping so I helped put the groceries away. And after, I knew my life was perfect. I'm not just living with this family: I am a part of this family. That's the best feeling as an exchange student. Feeling wanted and included. I feel at home here. I'm oh so happy. And now I'm oh so tired. Goodnight everyone. Besos.
