ahahaha
I do exist. Really I do.
Ahhh. I'm so freaking tired. I feel like junk. I have much to do this week. I have to write two papers in Spanish for next week and the show is this weekend. It will all get done no doubt. I just need to feel better soon. Stupid allergies, weather, and stress.
In other news, I'm student teaching next semester. I can't wait. I just want to be in a classroom right now, on the other side of the desk. haha. I still don't know where I'll be quite yet, but it's coming along.
Man I can't seem to focus on one thing for a long period of time, can I? hah. What else is new? Eckerd is going alright. I like it ok. I don't think I'm going to go in tomorrow. I need to sleep. Desperately. I went to bed at 2:30am last night (Saturday) feeling like crap, stressed about various things, and wishing I didn't feel that way after being at someone's house earlier in the evening. But more on that in a minute. I woke up today and did a little work, took a nap from 3-6:00pm, did some more work and then took another nap from like 7:30pm to 10pm. haha. Not what I should have been doing, but I need to feel better soon and I wouldn't be able to get much done with my paper right now anyway. I can't concentrate, write, and feel like sleeping so much. That just wouldn't work out well.
Back to being at a friend's house earlier in the evening yesterday. In my Pre-Columbian Spanish-American Lit class, we have six people. Four girls, two guys. It is quite entertaining. I love being in that class with my friend Kari. I'm going to miss her so much when she goes to Spain (exactly where I went!) next semester. I hate some of the work for the class, but some of the people make up for it. Val is fun and Jillian, she's interesting. The guys, Benjamin is married and talks alllllll the time. He's hilarious. Highly entertaining. Then there's Angel. It is so weird to call him Angel with out a Spanish accent. It just sounds weird. And I can't do it. Haha. But some people do call him Angel like...angels in heaven. I have to say it with an accent. I just can't do it that way. Anyway, he invited a bunch of us over to his house for a nice latin american dinner. I drove over with my friend Bethany and we came upon our professor trying to find his house as well. We finally found it and I LOVE his house. The guy who owns it used to be an adjunct at Eastern and now rents out the rooms/space with four guys that go to Eastern and he still lives there too. It's really nice and big. I love how they decorated it. It's colorful and peaceful, but also has some funky cool interesting pieces in it. And lots of candles. Very cool. Empty painting frames hanging from the ceiling. It's cool.
Anyway, a few more people arrived and he went back into the kitchen to keep cooking. It was so cute. We eventually sat down and had homemade chips, a spicy salsa, red rice, blackened beans, and chicken tamales. It was soooooo good. Angel was always checking to see if we had enough and we had some good conversation. After dinner he made some STRONG frech roast coffee in a french press. That made me happy. But DANG it was strong. I felt like I was going to be awake until Monday. Wow... We went back out into the living room and talked some more. And then somehow we got to talking about living on campus versus off campus for various reasons. He proceeded to say, "If I had a girlfriend on campus, I would definitely come over there and serenade her." Jillian laughed and I guess that wasn't her thing, but I was like, daaaaaaang. Anytime man, anytime. NCH third floor. I thought that was cute. He's the type of guy that would too. He's such a little mexican. He kept saying how he was domesticated. Honestly, I loved the fact that he made all the food we ate (his mother and grandmother taught him how to cook) and he cleared the table, did some dishes, and then at one point randomly interjected that he knew how to sew. I was impressed. haha. After our professor left, things got a weee bit more loose. I learned about Jillian questioning one of Angel's roommates, Eric, masculinity. haha. We got the grand tour of the house and talked about reeeeeeally random stuff that happened in the row behind where Kari, Val, and I sit in class (Ange, Ben, and Jillian sit behind us). Really random. hah. People started leaving and we talked a little bit more and the rest of us headed out. Needless to say, I was pretty happy. Good meal. Good friends. Good guy... hahahahahahahaha. He is so freaking awesome. I wondered why I'd never met him until this semester. Then it dawned on me that he transfered to Eastern last fall when I was in Spain, I'd only had one class in Spanish last semester, and he was a completely different major than I was. He's just taking the class for the heck of it and to keep up with his heritage I guess. I'm impressed to say the least. I emailed him and thanked him for cooking and whatnot and based on earlier discussion when we were talking about my birthday and drinks and stuff, that we needed to hang out more. He's a funny kid. Speaking of my birthday, Kari's birthday was two days after mine and in class we were serenaded by the guys. That was highly entertaining. haha. So ummm, I'd like to hang out with Angel a little more... Take that as you will... hehe.
