Blessed

The rest of the week went really well. I’m feeling a lot better and finally got a good night of sleep last night!
Thursday night we went to the karaoke bar first and ran into Kelsey. It was really crowded in there so eventually we decided to head out. We went to this bar that has free salsa classes on Sun/Mon nights but the guy who teaches them was there and was showing us some moves. Hah.. I suck at dancing. It was still fun though! We also ran into a group of our people there who were mostly pretty drunk already. We headed up to Camborio just before the cut off time for ladies getting in for free. I can’t say I was having a great time since I didn’t really want to go out in the first place. So Kathleen, Nicole, and I left together.
Friday we didn’t do too much during the day. Obviously nothing important since I can’t even remember what we did. That night we went to some bars around the Chup but again.. wasn’t having that much fun. The smoke was bothering my lungs and eyes a lot. I didn’t drink at all either night so that might be why I wasn’t all into it. Drinking still just.. isn’t me. I’ve tried to go along with it a couple times and although I’ve had some fun – it just doesn’t feel right. I’d much rather be sitting around with my friends, laughing, playing apples to apples, etc.
Yesterday morning I got my package from my mom! It was complete with movies, chocolate, vitamins, blank CDs, an itunes gift card, power bars, and a card. I was SO excited for everything and so glad my mom sent it to me! ☺ Then since it was a beautiful day out, I went to the park for a run/walk. It’s hard to run right now because I start coughing a lot when I do but I still enjoyed walking around and whatnot. After lunch, we met up with Nicole and Kathleen to walk to the albaicin and see what’s up there. There were amazing views, plazas with music, people selling jewelry, and a lot of “hippie” type people. Afterwards we were just walking around and were going to check out where the flamenco shows are. A guy who helps tourists or something spotted us and took us around to the caves where the shows are and helped us out. Once it was starting to get dark and cold we headed home. We were all pretty tired and decided to stay in and watch movies. Liz and I watched Twilight and I lent Moulin Rouge to the others.
This morning, mamacita woke us up for breakfast and afterwards we got ready and went to church. The service was long today and we were sitting where it was hard to see the words. I kinda wish I could go by myself because I would sit closer and in the more student-ish section. And I would stay afterwards to say hi to people and whatnot but they like to leave right after.
But even with the imperfections, I'm realizing more every day just how blessed I am and always have been. I'm so thankful for everyone and everything that have help lead me to where I am and where I will be.
Well that’s about it. We’ll see what this week has in store for me and what adventures I’ll stumble upon. ☺
