Today was just a regular day :) but a good day! I had my literature class at 8:30am and i just love that class. It is so interesting, and the stories/books/poems, etc that we read i love. My professor is the best too, she is my favorite so that probably helps ! hehe! Anyway, after i went to the library to study until noon for my conversation class. I studied my grammar with Marion while she studied her economics. I got my bank account today; and it was cool b/c for opening it they gave me a ton of really awesome gadgets for my computer. such as a new jumpdrive (4 gb), a mouse, a small keypad with numbers that i can connect to mylaptop and use, an ethernet cord, and a bunch of other goodies. It was a fun surprise. I had lunch with julia..and boy was this interesting. haha..so what happened was she had cooked spaghettie and then some meat for me today with peppers. The meat was tenura (the daughter of the mother cow), but the meat wasn'tall the way cooked through (or i thought)...so since i've been so sensitive to food the last month, i decided to save myself and instead of risk getting the stomach flu again i'd ask her to cook it more. Well, she kindof didn't understand why i wanted it cooked more but i explained and said i just was being cautious to not get food-sick again! I was very nice and apologetic, and kept thanking her for how good everything was and how much i like it, but just needing it cooked more. So she did, and it was better...but then the entire conversation during lunch was about how we don't like rare meat bc it' scares us hehe. Ha i wish i could have recorded this conversation...it was hilarious!
This afternoon, i worked on some grammar homework again, and am almost all caught up from France..but grr prof gives many worksheets hehe! I can't complain though..b/c it could be worse..like labs or something haha! nah i like her class.
This afternoon, it stopped raining, so that was nice b/c i went for a run in the park again. I've been feeling really great, so i'm thankful, still being very careful. Then i walked to the post-office to mail some of my postcards to friends. You know, why can't the U.S. post-office's be open until 8:30 pm like they are here monday thru Friday?!! I was hurrying there to try and make it b/4 6 b/c i thought they closed then, and then i get there and it's 8:30 ???!!! haha i'm lovin this...Did i mention that i think i'll just stay here ? hehe jk..but god that crosses my mind every day now hehe!
Tonight i finished my portion of the group work for our group project we have, and then i talked with my friend in Germany. She was in a bad accident, so i can't come to visit her anymore, but that is ok b/c i have places i can and want to visit here..i just pray for her recovery. Julia is so funny: while i was in my room tonight, she hollered at me to come in the living room..and so i did and she wanted to tell me about the case on telediario. Ok, so this show is a talk-show where one lady (she's like judge judy) solves or helps to solve other people's problems. It's so funny b/c it's all young people from the south of spain (or so Julia says but she should know b/c she's ALWAYS watching this!), and they have relationship problems. Well tonight, she had to tell me about this case where the boyfriend left the girl after 7 yrs of dating and now wants her back and she has a new byfrnd etc..mucho mucho drama!!! oh man i can't stand watching the show, but i just stood there and listened to her tell me and watch ...it's just so funny b/c she get's so into it!
hahaha
But she made one of my favorite things for la cena tonight. She made tortilla de potatas and then we put them on the best bread so it's a bocadillo (sandwich). yum,,then tomato with olive oil (tonight she set the salt on the table for me to put on hehe :) and then i had kiwi. So good! For dessert, we had tea and i had this awesome hazelnut choc that i bought here in Pamplona. I"m telling you i'ts just my favorite..i have to be careful how much i eat of it hehe! but it's so good! i will definitely be buying a supply of this b/4 i come home...if i come home hehe (jk i have to!)
Anyway, the little ones brought me the newspapesr today, so i have those to read, and i also started twilight (crepusculo) the book in spanish. I can understand 95% of it, so it's fun...i figured i'd give it a shot again since everyone here is crazy about it too. I started it a year and a half ago but got bored, but we'll see what happens. i'm doing it more for the practice!
Tomorrow i have 2 classes, work on group project, and then i think i wil study in afternoon. I have dance class in the night, and then there is a dance party later on but i will have to see if i go to that..I need to do somethin fun to get out and be with people :)
All my love,
Lauren
