Tuesday night was an American night at a bar and a popular kid's birthday. So everyone went out on a school night... weird. Thursday night I had the first of my finals. Fonetica was hilarious- because we had all failed the last time, I could tell our teacher felt guilty. So, once I had finished my test he said to me, "You have three wrong and all for the same reason" and so I found the three and got a 10! If I had made those mistakes I would have gotten a 9 (still an A) but everyone in the class got 10s hahaha! That night we had a photo scavenger hunt throughout Oviedo. It was really fun at first... until it took us an hour and a half. However, we stuck it out and my team won! We got a bag full of candy... and it ended up being my dinner. I DO NOT EAT THIS MANY SWEETS IN THE STATES I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME.
On Friday we found out that the bar we go to EVERY THURSDAY EXCEPT THIS ONE BECAUSE WE WERE TIRED FROM THE SCAVENGER HUNT gave out free t-shirts on Thursday. No!!!! So we went on Friday and they were doing more of the same. We all know how much I love free things, so I was a happy camper. Also- one of our teachers invited us to his friends' concert. We went and it was a strange experience. "Oh, I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs."-Mean Girls
Leaving the study abroad experience is having strange affects on people. The mean girl is crying because she doesn't want to leave, the good girl is getting drunk, and everyone is giving random extended teary-eyed hugs. People are being nicer, "Gosh, I should have hung out with you more!" and we are all reminiscing. A new herd of Miami of Ohio students have come in and Iowa kids are giving them all sorts of advice (because Miami kids don't look out for each other). I feel good helping them, but then remember how long ago it was that I learned the things I'm advising them about... :( I met with my English conversation partner for the last time today. Ahhh I remember making fun of a part of our Adolescent Skills book in 8th grade, "I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster", but that is exactly what this is. I'm either dying to get home or crying because I don't want to leave. I just wish there was a way I could take a little of this and a little of that and make my own perfect Oviedo/Iowa world.

For a moment think about what it might have felt to leave Christopher behind in Virginia just thinking about it makes me cry...Then think about Honduras and not seeing it again for 6 years...I feel your pain...I am glad you have loved and acquired feelings like that estas hablando mi lenguage
ReplyDeleteGood thing you don't live in ROTH with us otherwise you would be eating sweets 24/7. It's pretty ridiculous...like we're trying to make up for something which doesn't make any sense because we are all sweet as can be :)Oh and if you didn't already know "Pretty Little Liars" starts again June 14th. Get excited.
