i love when i'm at my stop on the metro and pushing the button for the doors to open while a mass group of people are standing on the other side trying to get in. and when the doors open they don't move and neither do i because i need to get out and there's too many people standing behind me to move. so they just stand there waiting for me to get out, but i can't because there are too many of them! so in the end i end up plowing them over and leave smiling because it's really not hard for them to step aside while we make room for them to get in by exiting.
i'm sitting in my NEW dining room and i feel great =) i never realized how badly i wanted to move... and yesterday i was in my room because nobody was home, but later i heard them out in the living room and i didn't know what to do and felt awkward. but i just came out and said hi and then i brought my book out and we just sat and chatted a little. one of the girls speaks pretty good English. the other doesn't but she is "supposed to be practicing" but she doesn't want to. i told her i'd help her of course but she seems timid about it.
the other girl said they mostly speak catalan so i will be learning that as well. i think i would like to move to a different place every three months. it's new and exciting. i also think that means i have a serious case of ADD....
i was walking around my place today and there are tons of little hidden shops that are super cute! my area is super nice and a lot more high class i think. even when i told Joana i was leaving she was like, you are going to be paying wayyyy too much! but actually, i'm paying less. i don't know how but i'm not complaining =) but there are tons of designer stores right on my street, it's weird. there's also a lot more cafes that i'm dying to try out. some look like they are in my budget. but there are some that look so posh and have coaches to sit on or are all white and crystal or i don't know. it's cool to live in a place like this though! no harm if i'm not paying for it.
guess what i found today: PEANUT BUTTER!!! and it's Peter Pan! it was ridiculously expensive but totally worth it, and i think i'm on my third spoonful, just eating it plain out of the jar. i'm so content right now :P i will probably get sick...
but i found this store that is like a super walmart and they have so many good foods that i don't see anywhere else! it's fantastic. mom they also have a full aisle of chocolates that you probably could have found some for cheap.. instead of from a special chocolate boutique... i'll just have to get some for you.
so i am still homesick but i'm already back in the grind and super busy so it's not bad anymore. it's going to be awful when i come home for a week though! i probably won't want to leave, especially with everyone there. but if you want to know my selfish thoughts, i'd rather everyone just come back here with me and live because i think it'd be a whole lot better of a life ;)
for now, i'll just take what i can get
we found this when my parents were here... and there are NO Lisa's here!
