I am a loser.

It actually started last Saturday.  We went karaoking and I offered up my red pen to write down the songs we wanted to sing.  It was left at the bar.  That's what I used to correct my Translation homework! Ah well, I still have another pen.  I realized on Monday that I didn't know where my phone was.  Ah well, it will show up.  It didn't.  Friday to top everything off, I lost my only pencil and my last pen (I only brought what was in my backpack at the time... didn't really think ahead) AND my library card. WAHHHHH.  Also- I count how many times people pick up dog poop (9).  Anyways, I'm going to go to the mall today and see if they'll just give me a new SIM card and it might fit in my real cellphone that I brought here? Because I got a really good deal that they were offering at the time so I hope I can keep it! Also, I'm going to get a new library card? Or just see if I can just give them my number to check things out.  Then I'm going to study for my Art test this Wednesday.  Right now I'm just keeping in my room because my madre is yelling...

Living in an apartment is weird.  People can hear everything, doors are kinda pointless.  So at the beginning I thought my madre got in fights every night, but then I realized it's just her voice.  It is also many times just our neighbors.  Then last week I heard my padres fight, and I don't think they knew I was home.  He left and slammed the door and she eventually went to her room to call and complain to a friend.  I bolted so I wouldn't have to talk to anyone.  Today she's fighting with mi hermano.  When I first came and she told me that he was my age I got excited and asked, "Oh are you at the University too!?", "No"... awkward pause.  And I guess I never asked him directly if he had a job.  His girlfriend does so I guess I just assumed he did too?  But he doesn't, and through my door for the past half hour I've heard all about it.  We are painting our apartment and I think eventually getting carpet?  I thought it was to make things prettier... but I guess it was a ruse to get him to work, and he wasn't doing it.

Last week I had my first exam in my Translation class, hopefully I will find happy results tomorrow.  Remember how I said I would keep an ear out for tutoring jobs? I GOT ONE! WOOO! I meet her tomorrow at 10.  Friday my friend and I went to Tangled in Spanish and I understood just about everything! And cried... twice.  I am a movie cry baby.  Today is Valentines day and I got a great surprise in that Tom ordered flowers for me :).  What a great boyfriend!  That's all I can think to tell- I hope everyone has a lovely V-Day!
