Well
What a crappy day. A group of us were going to wake up around 9 and take photos, but it is the worst weather day of the trip. It has rained non-stop since about 3-am apparently. It isn't raining hard or anything, it is just raining. It is really kind of depressing actually. I can't wait, in about a month it will be flirting with 80s every day of the week, and the "rainy" season will be done. Not that it rains often now either. This is the third time I have seen rain, and the first time it has lasted more than an hour.
Tomorrow (monday) is a statewide holiday and I have no idea whether stuff will be open or not. Also tonight is a sunday night, so nobody is sure whether anything will be open tonight (restaurant and bar-wise). I hope that stuff is open as I am going a little crazy in this apartment, my senora is gossiping on the phone with her friend and my "sister" is out doing something with her brother. I have read my spanish GQ cover to cover and lent out my book, not that I want to read it a third time anyway. I watched some TV, but got a little sick of Spanish game shows. I am wishing that I had the internet here with some frequency, as I would like to let Grace know that I will not be online tomorrow, because I am sure that she doesn't know.
For those that care, I am not pissed off at Spain nor am I sick of it. It is just that between being sick and cooped up in my apartment when I am finally feeling better, I am going a little stir-crazy. Anyway I think I am going to eat soon and I could use a nap to make myself less cranky I do believe that it is time for me to sign off.
I asked my senora and nothing will be open tomorrow either, and it is supposed to rain again. I think that I might venture out to buy another magazine to read. What a great way to learn new vocabulary, imagine that...when you read you learn.
Another corny realization coming up, having been through chicago a few times recently and now living in a cityish place where the cost of living is high....what am I doing to myself by not paying attention in school. If my mind starts to wander next semester at central, somebody shoot me or something. I have come to realize that I would like to be able to have a house in a place that I can retreat to when the stress of my job becomes too much. Whether that means a house in the mountains in the US, or a house out abroad in Spain or another slower paced country. I really do need to pull my GPA up, sadly it has taken me over 21 years to realize that the effort I am putting into my life now is directly related to how much I will be required to put in to live the level of life that I want.
