On the plume

I am listening to Erin Brockovich soundtrack online b/c that is the mood i am in. Today there was nothing special about my day until the night. Last night was awesome though! I cooked for philippe and it turned out fabulous! I made him scalloped potatoes and ham (which was really simple but tasted so great!), and then choc chip cookies! IT was a bit interesting finding all of the ingredients, but we managaed hehe! The only thing we didn't buy was baking soda, but surprisingly the cookies spread out ok and rose a little,,not like normal though! We still loved them. It was so awesome just hanging in his kitchen, having U2 on in the background, cooking while he stood over my shoulder or next to me watching, helping, talking to me, hehe :) Can i say again how nice it was?!!! ok..u get the point!! but i could go on and on hehe..i'll stop though!
Anyway, today i woke up early to finish my part of some group work for culture/civ class: consisted of researching: Then i walked 30 min to Maja's piso on Iturrama and Marion and i and Maja put together our research into our final draft: things look really well. We will finish things up this week, turn in the copy to our prof by friday, and then present on Tues 2nd of march. I can't believe it's already the end of February. That makes me so sad. Therefor i am just living up each and every moment! I went to Meg's piso for my grammar notes i missed in Paris, and then went home for lunch. After that i prepared my lit paper and then Julia and I went over to Maribel's piso. It was so nice b/c i stayed there from 4pm until 9pm..Maribel helped me correct my paper, i was able to get somemore of my notes from the computer, and then i watched the basketball game with Ainhoa and Inaki after Julia and Maribel and Inaki (dad) left. It was so fun b/c they are brother and sister and just remind me of me and Ben. They put this huge table cloth out on the little living room foot table, and we ate leftovers for la cena...hehe..but it was such a fun feast im not kidding! Ainhoa made crepes with choc with her crepe machine, (so good), then we had some spaghetti, there was chicken, we had bread, an amazing salad we made with tuna, olive oil, corn, and asperagas, and then water and some drink that is like power-aid. I couldn't help but miss Ben b/c they remind me of he and I wen we are home and just have feasts in the kitchen b/c mom and dad aren't home hehe! We watched the basketball game of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona and it was reall intense but fun to watch. FC BArcelona won and that was the team we wanted..it was just so relaxing. We cleaned up everything ( i couldn't believe how well they take care ofthings...they are not your typical lazy kids, but were prompt when we started to take things back to the kitchen hehe) It was cute! Ainhoa borrowed me "Crepuscula" which is Twilight..in Spanish, so i am going to start reading this for good practice. I'm excited.
I came home and just showered and am relaxing now. I'm tired--but looking forward to what my week will bring.
All my love,
Lauren
