So I can´t believe that my time in the study abroad program is almost up. I now have less than 4 days of class left. Then we take a bus to Madrid and my little sister will arrive on Sunday. I am really excited (and really broke) but whatever ( Read more... )

Weird title...I know but it describes the last day of my life. So I am currently in Portugal for the weekend. The first thing I said is that I wish Chase and his extensive knowledge of this damn language were here. I´m tired of people laughing at me when I say Obregado incorrectly. I know like only 2 phrases: Onde e banho, and obregado. ( Read more... )

Yay!!! I am now living in the new house with Lauren and Jen and their host family. They are atheists so no chance of fanatical religiousness there. Thank goodness. Plus Lauren and Jen basically had their own apartment, so I just sleep on the sofa bed. It´s great, I´m just so relieved that I am no longer in an environment where I constantly feel ( Read more... )

So I spoke to Mario, who is the director and I´m moving out of my housemom´s piso and into Jen and Lauren´s house.

The last 24 hours have been some of the shittiest I can possibly imagine. I keep traversing from pissed off to terribly upset to super depressed and crying to really really pissed off. I just found out yesterday afternoon that I cannot see my family. Yup, I can't go to Cuba. A trip that I have been looking forward to for over a year has just ( Read more... )

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less. Ask me anything you want. Then I want you to go to your journal, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything. =)

So anyway, clearly it is 5:30 in the morning and I am not asleep...Why might that be? Two words, FINALS WEEK. I have three papers due tomorrow as well as a final on tuesday, thursday, and friday and a project due on thursday. So I am about to have a total conniption because I just really want so desperately go to bed and I can't. And it totally ( Read more... )
