Today is Saturday. I woke up at 11am (that’s very late for me). Ate a long breakfast. Finished my one and only book. It is now 12:30p. Swept up all of my hair off the ground and put away my dishes. Now it is 1p. Hmmm… turned on the TV hoping to finally see some soccer. Nope, more f*ing motorcycling. Honestly, for a country that lives and breaths soccer THEY NEVER play it on their ONE AND ONLY sports channel. I see these awesome commercials advertising EPL and how its “la major deporte” and yet they pay every other sport possible. I have watched motorcycling, tennis, the world championships of rhythmic gymnastics, motorcycling, volleyball, indoor futsal, base jumping, motorcycling, handball, equivalent of NASCAR, and rugby. I guess my theory about being physically closer to EPL would mean I could watch more of it was horribly inaccurate. So much for TV. I’ll brush up on my Rosetta Stone. It is now 2:30p. Still can’t run because I need more time to digest. I’ll write an email via Word Document that I will paste into my mail when I hit up the Youth House later. Start the outline to my worksheet for the Food Pyramid for 4th graders. Okay it’s 4:45p. I only have to wait 15 more minutes before the Youth House opens. I’m almost there!
I’ve started to think that living here at times is like living on a deserted island. No Internet---no entertainment what so ever (movies, TV, radio), no books, no people (my roommate has been MIA since Wednesday. Will she return, I don’t know?!?!?), no phone (its way to expensive to text or call anyone just to “chat”), and nothing to clean. I could eat some more? Ahhh no! Don’t want to go shopping because I don’t want to spend money. This sucks. Thank god I’m going to the beach tomorrow because I do not want another day like this. Punta Umbria, venga aqui!
Okay I’m back (its still Saturday). I missed the memo about how the Youth House is closed this Saturday for some bicycling trip. Errrrr I couldn’t even get the signal sitting right outside the building like I have before. This day is slowly getting worse. I decide to walk to Kate and Corrie’s for the first time without a map. Yeah I end up getting lost and do a big circle before I finally find it. Sigh not happy. I talk to them briefly before they have to leave to listen to deer sounds (???!). I didn’t ask but I wasn’t prepared to join them either so I chilled at their place for a while. I read this handbook about being a Language Assistant for over an hour. It was actually extremely helpful and I took over three pages of notes from it. The book gave me some great suggests about what to do during my tutoring sessions. I finally have some ideas for next week expect I need the Internet to look up some passages and photos to print and copy. I’m sorry dad, I know you wanted me to try and live without it but honesty it’s a necessity for me to prepare for school and my one on one tutoring so I’m going to ask Elisa about it whenever she returns. So once it got dark (8:30p) I left their place, tried to find the bar that had internet, couldn’t, got chased by a stray dog, so I was just so upset I headed back up the hill to my house. So much for the Skype date with my family.
The only thing I accomplished today was I got a really good ice cream bar on my way back to my place (I’m an emotional eater. Yes it’s a problem). Ahhhhhhhh okay its dinnertime and then I have to pack for the beach. I hope tomorrow is more eventful.
