Well, apparently I cannot sleep at night. I swear I wake up two hours after falling asleep every single night…and then cannot fall back asleep for three hours, literally. It’s horrible. I wonder if there is such thing as Tylenol PM here…
Anyway, today I had 4.5 hours of German (every t/th I do. m/w/f is only 3). …that gets to be a bit long, but I’d still rather sit through 4.5 hours of German than 50 minutes of high school Spanish with Mrs. Daza. For lunch I made eggs, which is what I have had everyday for lunch so far.
After the last hour and a half of class, Marcos, a 28-year-old (everyone seems to be much older hear…they are all shocked when I say I am twenty) lawyer from Nicaragua (and VERY cute) came with Natalie and I to the bank. Natalie had to exchange some money…like 110 US dollars. SO, Marcos exchanged his money too—3 dollars! LOL…he got 2 Euro back. Gosh, I laughed so hard about that. Anyway, about Marcos—his first language is Spanish, but he speaks English too. Guess how he learned?!?!? His parents don’t speak it and he’s never taken a class or anything, but he learned by listening to American music. How is that even possible!?!? Ugh, it just boggles my mind. By the way—everybody listens to American music here—like Creed, and Colbie Caillat, and pretty much the exact same stuff that I listened to at home—which is quite nice.
After the bank we went and signed up for the Venice trip (YAY!), and then we went to the Bipa (Sally’s Beauty Supply) to look for a blow-dryer…but nope, they don’t have any. SO, it looks like tomorrow Natalie and I will be going to class with wet hair AGAIN.
I went for a run again tonight…I went the same distance today but felt much better than last time! I am determined to get back into shape. You would not believe how beautiful it is here! If it’s nice out tomorrow I am going to take my camera with me on my run and post the view from the lake. I could easily see myself living here—but don’t worry mom, I won’t J.
Natalie and I ate pizza for supper and then watched A Knight’s Tale. AND then I finally got to talk to Sanny (Toni) on Skype for like an hour. Gosh I just loved that! I miss you Ton!
