en realidad, nada

So, I know it's been a long time since I wrote...Sorry! Truth is, since I'm settling in, there's really not a lot to write about. The weekdays here are actually a tad boring, since all my friends have to study for tests. Here tests are 100% of your grade, and there are a lot of tests, so everyday after 7 hours of school, they go home, eat, and study, before going to bed and repeating the same thing the next day.

However, the weekends are so fun that it kind of evens out. Every Friday and Saturday, I hang out with Andrea and Claudia (who, by the way have pretty much become my best friends), Iñaki, and Josémi. We go to the movies, go out to eat, or just play karaoke in Clau's INSANELY nice house (I'm talking chandeliers in every room. and the coolest bathroom sink I've ever seen!!) Last night we went to see the move "Orphan" (aka la huerfana), and it was soooo fun! Whenever I watch a scary movie, I am compelled to laugh. So the entire time I was laughing, while everyone else was screaming, or jumping in their seats. An hour-plus of laughing = a good time.

I am starting to really miss home. The animals, and the food are at the top of the list, although my family has started to figure out what I like, and the food is pretty good now. It's so weird to not have a pet in the house (unless you count the two fish Lidia has...how am I supposed to pet those?) All my life there has been at least 1 cat in the house, and to have to pet-able pets is pretty different. Especially since right now at home I have a HUUUUGE cat named Mollie (really fat, like 17 lbs!) who always felt the need to sleep on my feet, so that I couldn't move them when I slept, or to sit on my chest so I couldn't breathe, and then lick my nose right as I fall asleep. Lets just say she definitely made her presence known. So to go to bed everynight able to breathe and move my legs, one would think that it would be a relief. But it's not, I just miss my kitty.


Well, there's really not much else to say. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them. It's always fun to see who is reading.

Lots of love

and many Besos!
