On a better note, I went grocery shopping today and stocked up on some wine, so I was all ready for my Friday night alone. As some of you may know, when Pat leaves, I have been hanging out at home, drinking wine, which helps pass the time much easier, and quicker. And I was already to continue that streak. However, I met up with Irene, a girlfriend of one of Pat's teammates. She's my age, and she is really cool, we get along great. So I went out to get a bit to eat and drink with her, and we had a great time. She also helps me practice my spanish, so that can never be bad...cause I need all the help I can get. But speaking of my spanish, I managed to find the post office today, and send a package and spoke all in spanish, and everybody understood what I was saying, small miracle. i felt the the king, or queen, of the world.
As far as school is going, I've been having a good time, but I am really excited that I dont have school monday. It is a holiday monday, actually as well as sat, so everything is totally closed for 3 days. Kind of sucks, but I like the idea that the people here dont live to work, rather work to live. They really enjoy their free time, and spend more time with their family and friends! I love it! I wish the states could adopt the siesta, because spending time in the middle of the day at home along with a quick nap in the afternoon is just what the doctor ordered.
And the countdown continues...16 days until we get home.
