Today I ate my last meal with my host family. Good Bye Webers. My host mom cooked a yummy Brazilian dish called.....(i'll spell it phonetically) Fayshwada. ha. Now I am off the explore Barcelona. Adios.

I hate meat right now. I have been disgustingly ill for the last two days. grrr. I'm miserable. My host mom cooked lamb on Sunday and it was interesting....too bad i threw it all up the next morning. The meat was uncommonly rare and every time i think about it i gag. Meat is evil. Plus there is some weird bird flu spreading in Europe so people are ( Read more... )

i live in a land dominated by snow and chocolate. oh my. I thought winter was finally calming down until yesterday it decided to stomp on my hope. it snowed cows and goats... well, of course, not literally. blah. Its still snowing. I did have fun today catching snow on my tongue, but then i realized i could no longer feel my toes so i ran inside ( Read more... )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAURA!!! You old fart. I hope you have a splendid day.

I hate my fucking host mom right now. i cannot even begin to say how deep the hate runs. really. its upsetting. SO i won't go into much detail, but here is the basic story. So a friend and i were going to plan a trip to rome. nothing was for sure, but we just wanted to price it out and ask if it was at all possible. So i causually mentioned it to ( Read more... )

... i mean three kings. today and mostly tomorrow is the celebration of the three kings. hummm. okay jesus is cool and i love his birthday, but celebrating the three kings seems to be stretching it a bit. they love to party here. as far as i can tell we eat a sickening amount of bread and drink wine. what would a party here be like without alcohol

you know how in cartoons a character will knock something over and it starts a massive chain reaction....well that just happened to me. ha! I was attempting to drag a mattress up stairs and as i passed all the bikes in the garage i hit one. then it fell onto the next and so on. soon at least seven bikes were down. my bad. i dropped the mattress and ( Read more... )

At this moment i find myself relating to Vernon God Little. I know this a character out of a book, but i understand him now. He talks about his mother having a knife in his back and how she can give it a little twist with just a few words. Well, my real mom would never guilt trip me or cry to make me feel bad. But goddamnit, my host mom here loves ( Read more... )

you know that awesome song by the Beatles..I love it. Anyway, today was hard because i was so tired. last night my host sister and i watched Lord of the rings in german, but we didn't start it until 9:30 at night. But as i walked to the train station today i saw a small kid screaming. it wasn't a panic scream or a upset scream...he was just ( Read more... )

Tomorrow my host parents come home from Brazil. They have been gone for about five weeks and are probably expecting alot. What i mean is, my host mom is wanting my german to be perfect, which of course it's not. Crap! I spent the whole day cleaning my room and other various parts of the apartment. I need a break! perhaps i will go see The Constant ( Read more... )
