Jan 21st – Day of Forever

Waking up today I felt refreshed and ready for class. When I went to go downstairs to have breakfast, I told Ana that I wouldn’t be home for lunch and asked if she could make me a sandwich and some fruit. Once my lunch is ready I walk to get the bus. Once I’m at school, in my civ class they inform us that the class is being split because there are too many people. They’re afraid that people will have a harder time understanding the class or doing well. I’m one of the people that’s put into the new class with Olvido (that’s the professor’s name). She’s very petite and curvy…really cute, and looks very artsy like the kind of girl that goes to art exhibits and theatre productions. And she’s young. She’s very friendly and approachable. I definitely feel like I’ll be comfortable speaking more in this class. Once class is over, I eat my lunch and talk to mom and dad on Skype. After, I go to my last class of the day film; we watch a movie about a family during the civil war in Spain. It was interesting because it was definitely like the kind of setting of ‘Gone with the Wind’. Southern bell types if they were in the states. After though, our professor wanted to keep talking and talking and I was very hungry by then. Note to self, tell Ana I need two sandwiches. And when we could finally leave it was 6:30pm. I was so ready to eat but I wanted to go by the pastry shop to try something new. Now earlier I had written vowing to try everything or until I found something I liked. Search no more, I found the one! It’s a pastry that looking at it it looks like a hot dog bun but glazed and much like a donut with crystallized sugar and powdered sugar. In the middle it looked like sweet cheese until I bit into it. it was like vanilla pudding or butter. I had planned on taking one bite and eating the rest after my dinner, but once I bit into it….it all changed. It was so amazingly wonderful, I couldn’t help myself. I also bought some of the chocolate roses to try later. Relief in having the sweets that your mouth was craving and in knowing where to get it. I get onto the bus and am now at my host home. Ana asks how school was and I told her it went well. But I was very hungry. She made me a hamburger which she puts onions in, like at home. I also asked for some pasta since I was missing it as well. Once my stomach stopped talking and was happy, I felt better. I went to my room to do my homework and went to bed. I’m never surprised at how excited I get about sleeping.
