Well it was one of those days where I slept until 1:30...(I think I've done that like two or 3 times in my entire life...and today was one of them) I was really glad the family was out when I woke up, so I went into the kitchen at 1:30 in my pajamas and had 2 cups of coffee (and then I put away the coffee and milk cuz I knew Maite would be coming home soon, and we wanted to eliminate the evidence that I didn't get up until very very late...). Then I got dressed and everything and started thinking about everything I have left this weekend in terms in homework...(that was kind of depressing, so I put on some peppy music and pulled out my paper outline). I started on the paper but got really frustrated at having no internet to look up the words I didn't know, so I kind of quit, and had lunch with Maite and Jesus. I decided I needed internet so I met friends at Cafe y Te to utilize their internet. (they normally make you buy something if you want to use internet...but today I got away with not buying anything!! I feel so successful in this moment. It's just really annoying to be told you have to buy something...it's understandable, but annoying nevertheless). I successfully have finished my paper (or at least the rough draft), yup I'd say that's three and a half pages of sheer genius right there! (I just wish this was closer to the apartment...it was about a 25 minute walk...but oh well, beggars can't be choosers, I suppose).
I still have lots of reading to do this weekend, but I figured I'd save that for when I head back to the apartment, and use this internet while I can! Oh fun fact: the kids from the Wake program to Venice are visiting Salamanca this weekend, so I saw some familiar faces, and met some fun Wakies! It's really funny, some of them I probably have nothing in common with, and I doubt we'd talk at Wake, but being here, familiarity goes a long way. So basically you have this bond that overcomes any differences, and you kind of talk and hang out like you're great friends, even if you've never met. I love that. In a place where everything feels so new and so different, (sometimes in good ways sometimes in bad ways) encoutering familiar things feels really great. (Did I mention yet how much I LOVE that they play american music?)
Jesus told me this weekend was gonna be cold, but it's like 55 degrees right now, so I guess he lied...hopefully it will just stay this temperature and only get warmer as the semester continues. (Fingers crossed on that one.) Well I suppose the rest of this weekend is going to be both productive and hopefully relaxing (so long as I am productive a little longer tonight, tomorrow should be good).
So I guess I'm off to do some more work! :/ But I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend! And as a little challenge; if today's not going so good, find something to smile about. I know that for me it's easy to sometimes forget how lucky and truly blessed I am to even be alive; I take a lot for granted and I forget to be grateful for everything I have. I sometimes forget that things could be so much worse. But we are all awfully lucky; to be alive, to have the people we love in our lives, to have comfortable-enough circumstances that we don't have to worry about things that a lot of people do worry about.
With all the love in my heart!
