my birthday weekend!

was amazing!! friday night we went out and i met up with a whole bunch of people from school and it was so much fun. we started out at one bar just for a drink and then we all headed over to this club on the beach and danced the night away! it was a blast, i'm so grateful for my friends.
i even met some cute spanish boys who sang me happy birthday =)

then on saturday my roommates surprised me with a cake and they got me makeup as a present. i started crying when they came out with the cake! that was so sweet they have no idea.

so now i'm 21 and i can't believe it. this is how i really feel:

so today i had my first class of Persona, Economia, y  Sociedad. i am actually kind of excited about it. there are other foreign exchange kids that i know so we kind of all stick together. that can be a good and bad thing... but we got put into groups and i'm with a german, belgian, frenchy, and spaniard. so we're all different. and every group has to pick a movie from the list he gave out and watch it together and analyze it. i don't really know what we're supposed to be looking for, but we aren't the first group to present so hopefully we'll learn from them!

my movie is Erin Brockovich so it's good because i sort of know it. it's the only one i knew off the list. i've never seen it but they said we can watch it in english! the class only meets twice a week and every day a new group brings in their movie and presents it to the class and then we watch it and we talk about our views and ask the class questions to debate. sounds easy enough!

too bad we have the 23rd off and i was thinking, why couldn't it be the next week when mom and dad are here!!!
