The week of homework and procrastination

On Monday morning, I woke up really early and met up with Anne, Robin, Ben, and Emily to get our student visas, which was a lot of waiting around and getting shuffled from one department to another. I realized that my Spanish is definitely improving, though- if I had had to do that alone on my first day here, I would have been completely lost. The rest of the day was spent doing homework, grocery shopping, and other non-exciting things like that. Tuesday was more of the same- got up early to pick up our visas to turn in to UCA, then homework, class, etc., as was most of Wednesday. Wednesday was exciting only because Lauren and I made delicious Mexican food for dinner, and I got to talk to Beanie for the first time in forever.

Thursday was also more of the same, but when I got home, Lauren had made me dinner and bought me flowers and candy for our last night without Joe being home (not that we weren't happy when he came back, of course), which was really awesome. Afterwards Kela, Ben, and Jessie came over for a Disney movie marathon. We watched Aladdin, then Steve came over for the second half and we all watched Hercules. Basically we're all huge dorks and I love it.

Friday was boring day number 423535 for the week- homework, grocery shopping (I feel like we live at our grocery store sometimes), food, bed. Ditto for Saturday, until we all went out for Joe's 21st birthday. We went to a Mexican restaurant nearby called Cielito Lindo, which had awesome margaritas and really good food. We hung out there for a while and then went to a bar nearby in Plaza Serrano for a few hours, which was also really fun. Overall a very successful event.

Sunday and Monday were both homework and such all day, and also catching up on blogging (clearly) and some of my tv shows. Clearly my life is not as exciting now that midterms are around the corner. Hopefully once they're over I'll have better stories :)
