Love the one's your with

Oh my gosh you guys,,,the weather here has been absolutely wonderful for the past two days..i'm telling you yesterday (monday), it was probably 14 or 15 Celcius and now today i think it's about the same, if not a little warmer (16). It is wonderful. Yesterday i was a bit stressed bc a substitute professor for my lit class assigned us this paper to write, and he isn't even going to continue teaching our class. grr..and i have 2 days to do it..since i'm going to Madrid tomorrow (wed) for civ/cult. class, and then i am leaving again on Friday until Sunday night to visit Madrid again, Segovia, and Toledo. I've been stressing a lot about homework b/c it's really picking up, but then my friends and i myself remind me that it's ok, i just have to relax, i'll get it done, and i also can't worry so much b/c i'm in Spain, i need to travel, i need to see things, experience things, go out, learn, talk, and live the culture. I'm hear to study, but i'm hear to live and learn the culture and the country and the people as well. This i ahve to remind myself everyday. And goodness, you know like i said before when God closes doors, he opens them too. I've met two great new friends that are very different, but are so fun and unique in there own way. One of them only speaks Spanish, so when we go out on dates, etc, it is so awesome b/c he is so patient with me and is really intersting to listen too. We teach each other a lot. I also dance salsa and tango and chachacha with him, and it's a lot of fun. Then, i met a great guy through a friend the night of my birthday party, and we also have developed something fun. He's cool, and i' enjoy talking with him and..of course dancing too hehe! He's a daryl for all of you who understand that...like majorly. hahah. Anyhow, that's all i can say about that now, but it's really fun b/c my time here with these new friends really just rings true to one of my favorite songs..(the Blender's version) "Love the One your with"..you should just listen to it and the words...they are SO true.
I went for a jog/walk yesterday since i was angry with that prof, and let me tell you it really helped. it was exactly what i needed b/4 having to sit at my desk for the next 6 hours working on that paper. I laid in the grass and did my physical therapy, situps/pushups..etc..and had just a t-shirt and capris on..in March!! I love this! I slept so good last night!~
Today has been a pretty good day..despite the fact i got assigned another paper to write for a different class...grr...i'm getting ready to study science instead of writing all these papers..but maybe that's God's intention for me who knows hehe. B/c i have a lot of that ahead of me, however i'm getting good at these papers and i've got a format down.
So that's what i've gotta get my little but doing now, but oh..i just have to say I"ve been eating SO good. Julia has been cooking my fave foods so i am so lucky. Yesterday she made the sopa de col ( i have to get the other word...versa (con 'b' sonido, o repolla') for my future reference hehe! oh god it was SO amazing. I hadn't had it since Jan . Then today i had rice with chicken and carrots, but she surprised me with TORRIJAS for dessert! yes..yum!!! the bread that she soaks in honey and then fries with olive oil, then smothers in cinm. and sugar. I ate it with green tea. God i'm spoiled...Do i have to leave?//please no!!! ok...i'm not even gonna think about it.
Well, i'm gonna get a move on it,,and work on this paper. Tomorrow i'll be up at attem early at bus stop by 730 to go to Madrid, and then i'll be home by 12..it's so funny b/c David invited me to go out dancing, and i can't wait and at first i was sad b/c i dind't think that i would be back from madrid in time, but then like Marion told me...the dancing doesn't start until 1 anyway ha.
Well, we'll see how i feel.
Anyway, i'm gonna work, and then i have dance class tonight! I can't wait..and u know another reason too hehe..or i'll tell you later. Anyway,
All my love,
Lauren
