What's been happening in Spain

So, this week was kinda interseting.. I went to the mall with my other exchange student friend, Emily, to return some stuff and buy some new stuff. We had really really good icecream afterwards! Yesterday, we met up and searched for that place I went and I got my haircut the first time.. It took us forever to find, but when we did it was already closed for the afternoon. It would open again at 4:30, so we decided to go eat.. We ended up going to a Romanian place, the food was delicious! We met the owners, the were really nice and spoke English.. The wife speaks five languages! How cool is that!! We then got our haircuts, and headed to Nina's to talk about Rotary business. Emily ended up coming over to finally see where I live, and she stayed for dinner.. I have to say, that Romanian food is just as good as what my Host Mom is cooking now a days. That's all for now.. Chao!

Halloween and More!

Last Saturday night I went out with my friends to the Max Lounge. It was really fun, most of them dressed up, though I did not! It was really cool to see how they do our holiday. I brought Wonka candy with me and they loved it.. Like some exchange students told me last year the kids are amazed with the Wonka candy, they didn't know it was actually real! That is really what those exchange students to me, it's not a lie! On Sunday, I did end up going Trick or Treating!! It was fun to do an American tradition here.. The candy wasn't as good, in fact someone gave me chestnuts! They really love them here! Some of the homes in my friend's development belonged to people that spoke English, so I would say something strange in English to them.. oh the joy! We did not have school Monday due to All Saints Day! I went for lunch at Nina's house (A woman from Rotary), we had some type of food... I can't remember what kind... When I know, I'll write it in.. It was really good though! Greg and I were given wallets for our birthdays, they each had 5 Euros in them, that would mean we would always have money... Graciela (Another woman from Roatry) came and we chatted about whatever.. We talked more about Sevilla.. That is where I am going this weekend with Roatry, it should be fun.  Not too much on Tues., you know the norms. Wednesday, I went to a Rotary lunch. The food was delicious as always! No school today, I'm sick,  just studying Italian and French.. That's about it.. Chao!

The new and exciting things of Spain.

I quit volleyball Tues... That was very difficult for me, I don't like quitting, but I had to do it.. Vollyball just was not for me.... On Wednesday, I left school early to go to a Roatry meeting. It went well as always (The food is always GREAT). On Thursday I did a lot of running around with my Host Mom after school.. We tried to get me French lessons, but that didn't happen. There were no spots open.. I really want a canery now... We'll see if I actually get one, it really depends if I can take it back home with me.

I didn't go to school today because I went to the school my Host Mom works at for "El Día de las Castañas" (The Day of the Chestnuts). It was fun, I saw her school, met her students, and ate chestnuts!! They were roasted!! That's pretty much it for now.. Halloween is almost here.. I am going out with friends to the MAX Lounge tomorrow to celebrate, and on Halloween I think I am going out with some other friends to celebrate.. I'll let you know how it all goes. Chao.

I almost forgot!! Today I went and picked up a package from the post office since no one was home to get it yesterday. Thanks Meme!!

Where did I leave you..

Starting with Saturday.. Woke up early  and did whatever... I went out with my friends like at 10:30 that night. We went to the MAX Lounge, it was fun. Some of us went to my friend, Leonard's house afterwards. Our friend, Pedro drove most of us home, it was some time after 2. It's nice finally having friends! Sunday- An at home day for the part.. I went out for coffee with another exchange student in the area, Emly. We are not now planning a trip to France! I ended up Skypeing... real late... and I didn't feel well... So, I didn't go to school on Mon., but rather stayed home. I studied whatever and worked on the contacting people for the trip. Tuesday- Went to school.. Living life... Writing to my fans NOW! That's all. Chao!

What's new..

I've felt pretty crummy all week, so it's been a pretty fun week as you could guess.. I have a stuffy nose, my throat was hurting me, I had a headache, and for some starnge reason my TEETH were sore!!  I haven't gone to vollyball this week due to this VIRAL PLAGUE! Just went to school and suffered (though it seemed like lots of the kids at school were as ill as me, I just like to complain). I didn't have school on Friday beacuse I had to go to the police station and do stuff for my visa because my Host Mom had to work. Afterwards, I walked around Estepona looking for cloths... I left without a single bag.... Wait! I did go to a bakery, so it was fine, I ate a Palmera Chocolate... I don't know how to explain, just that it was delicious.  After coming home and that nonsense, we ate and some time after 4 my Host Mom brought me to the mall to get some cloths for the winter. I scoped out every store then went back and did the purchases.. I had time to kill - my Host Mom and her friend had some class to take near by and would not get me till 8:20..  I decided to go to a cafe, I had coffee with milk and churros!! The churros were great as always, but I don't know what it is about the coffee here, it is actually good. My Host Mom came and got me, went home, ate, and I headed to my room................ I was trying to call multiple people, but no one answered... YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE! I finally called my friend Marissa and talked to her. My friend ended up inviting me to see Paranormal Activity 2, I didn't see that coming.. I went, it was very good. I still need to see the first one!  Got home at 2 something, then went to bed....   Chao.

Day of relaxation.

I have been to the fair either everyday or night since Friday! It was great, I made lots of friends!!Oh, and I took a taxi twice! On Fraiday I get alittle sick from the rides, and deicided no more rides for me. The only thing that I would go back on were the bumper cars! I have to say though, my knees really hurt after awhile. I didn't remember that pain from when I was younger... then agian, I wasn't as tall. Up to now it has just been a blast, up late, sleeping late, ang hanging out with good friends! I didn't go to school yesterday because there were not many kids going. Today we had off for a holiday of San Pedro! I stayed home and didn't go to the fair, I needed to rest before school and would have to come home early anyway. That's all for now.. School tomorrow! Chao!

The Fair is here!

So the last few days have been normal.. Yesterday, I didn't feel so well, so my Host Mom gave me some medicine. All better now! We have had COLD mornings and nights here! Sometimes it even stays chilly throughout the day. I like this weather, but I just don't feel like I have the right cloths.. I see the mall in future! Yesterday started the Fair! I didn't go, but tonight I'll be there! I'll let you know how it goes!! Chao!
