Oh Lordy..

Yep.. That's right.  Oh Lordy. 

I have recently found out that not only do I have to take three 4000 level classes this semester and two others, teach 4 hours worth of english in order to keep my head above the depths of debt, but I also only get one chance to pass my OPI (oral proficiency interview) and WPT (written proficiency test) when I return in order to start methods and become a teacher. ONE CHANCE, PEOPLE.  ONE.  I'm hyperventilating and crying as I type this.  Someone please help me. 

Y entonces, porque hay solamente una vez para el examen, los ensayos aquí van a ser en español.  Lo siento a todo.  Pero este es muy necesario. Ahora, voy a llorar y mirar la tele con mi madre. Este no es cierto, porque me choca mirar la tele y en realidad voy a duchar.  Y luego, estudio.  Este semestre es un fracasado ya.  Ayudame! 

Recuerdate: copia y pega este en Google Translate para entender. O, puedes adivinar lo que dice. Adivinar es una palabra nueva para mi.  Gracias a Google Translate. Así que sí. 

Buena lectura! Manténgase excelente, ME. 

P.S. Compré una diario para pensamientos como este, pero este es más divertida. :) Disfrute!

Holy awkward.

Listen.. The entire family is over for lunch.  I have never felt so nervous and awkward in my life.  I'm sitting in my room with the door open typing this and every single one of them is talking so loud in the room next to me that I can't even hear myself think.  It's awful and I don't think anything could be worse.  I would rather meet the entire extended family of a guy on a first date than sit through this for one more minute.  Please send reinforcements. That is all. 

Back in España!

Well, well, well.. Hello there Alcalá! How I missed you so!

After crossing fingers and toes and everything else possible (I like to think my messy, curly hair helped with the luck as well) we made it back to Spain on time with no problems and no delays from the Ohio weather.  Thank goodness!  I must admit that I was super nervous about a flight cancelation because I have absolutely no idea how to handle stress in airports.  I cry.  All over the place. 

So after venturing back to our little area of Spain from Madrid's airport, I felt like I never even left.  I can't decide if this a good thing or not.  I guess it's a good thing knowing that I feel comfortable here with my host family and with the town, but it also meant that boredom set in pretty quickly.  And by quickly I mean after I took a 2 hour nap.  BORED. 

So instead of sitting around and thinking about how bored I am, I decided to plan my Semana Santa (spring break for us).  Good news: I stayed under budget, Paige is coming, and we're going to 2 countries.  Bad news: I had to kick out one country to stay under that budget, Danielle isn't coming, and the stress of the planning made a pimple pop up.  Gross. 

In other news, I now get to stress out about where else I want to go this semester versus where I actually will allow myself to go.  Wish me luck. 

Happy reading.  Stay excellent, ME.
