a little behind

Hey All,
Sorry that I haven't updated this very well over the past few days. Shame on me :) i gues you'll be glad to know i've been using that time to study..and or skype :) But things are going fine. Very busy now that school is in full swing. It's a little overwhelming, but to be expected. Tuesdays are my busy days, so I had 3 classes today which began at 8:30 and i end at 2..the crappy thing is they are 2 hr long classes, and i really don' have much of a break between them b/c they start and end one after the other! But it's all good :) The other days of the week aren't too bad. I am seeing how time is starting to fly now that i am busier..and how i am tired!!!!
Right now I am at my friend Maja's piso (apt) working on homework on her bed while she studies at her desk. You just get to the point where you have to 'Seek' out people to be with..otherwise it just get's too lonely by urself :)
Today for lunch Julia fixed me garbanzo /rice soup that was in this sausage/pepper type of broth. It was actually very good. then i had some meat that she cooked..and the funny thing was..at first, i didn't know what it was..and it's so cute...she described it to me as 'la hija de una vaca!!' which means the 'daughter of the mama cow!' i had never had that before, but it was very light in color and tasted all right. I ate it with bread b/c the flavor was..well you know..new :)))
This afternoon i tried to study a bit but was just going stir-crazy after having sat all morning, so i went to the gorgeous park across the street again. I ran and walked, stretched, and just breathed in the air. For some reason i got a little sad..i think it' was just a bit overwhelming as it hit me that i am really here. I hvae these moments frequently, were i really can't believe that it's hapening,,,that i'm doing it...livng it..here you know ?! It just goes to remind mehow life passes so quickly, and we have to enjoy every moment of it. I also had some nice time to think and reminisce about things in my life..it was a very nice moment...
Aftr that,,which was very deep and a bit hardat the same time, i really wanted to be with people, so Maja and I made a study date. It's a bit late so i want to walk home b/4 it gets any later, and i know Julia will have cena (small supper) waiting for me. I don't want to worry her either. I told her i was coming over here earlier but i don't know where she went tthis afternoon..she didn't say..prob to Maribels!
Until tomorrow xoxoxox
