So, I figured blogging a tad would be a good way to avoid homework a little longer. So here's a few random things that don't really fit into any other blog.
-I adore older people in general, and the ones that I work with here are no exception. In addition to calling me Marisol, they also call me 'buenamoza,' which is an antiquated phrase meaning attractive young lady. It also seems to imply something about being grand in stature, as well. I literally get called buenamoza at least 50 times a day. Today I was also called 'la que habla con dios,' which came along with an upwards speaking hand gesture. I was at the Catholic nursing home, and the table I was serving at the time informed me that this means I'm so tall that I can talk to God because my head is basically right up next to them. Adorable, right?
-My host mom always tells me that I have 'una boquita de oro.' Literally: a mouth of gold. Figuratively: I'm a good eater. Really, my mom's just an awesome cook. I have eaten everything she's put on my plate. Every last bite.
-I bought my eurail pass for spring break today! It's coming up SO fast and I can't wait!
-Mom and Davina are coming on Sunday. Yet another thing I'm really excited for. I really think they'll love it here. Then next Thursday we'll leave Madrid and spent a couple of days there before they leave. I'm so grateful to have had so many awesome opportunities to travel with Mom and Davina!
-My sister will be on the same continent as me for two weeks, starting today! Lucky duck!
-I put my class schedule together for the summer and fall. Two classes in the mornings during the summer, and then 4 classes Tuesdays/Thursdays during the fall. The end is in sight! And it actually makes me want to stay at ISU longer!
-I'm kind of drowning in homework, required internship hours, and readings for my independent study. So I should probably start working on that now...
