it all started on march 4th. the day my john green books arrived. I had previously ordered them as a gift to myself. and in the four days i've had them I've finished 2. and they are phenomenal. so that was the best gift I've ever gotten myself
so the next day/my birthday/wednesday theres school. I leave early because laura says she has something for me so I have to go to her house early. I get there and she gives me these. please mind my silly faces.
this is sideways, but yeah, its a little photoset of me and her and its super cool and I love it. shes a fantastic friend
and she gave me this bear which I continue to love everyday
so then we walk to school. as i walk up to the room, the door is closed, and you cant open the school doors from the outside, so I knock, and as it opens they all say felicidades and give me hugs and i feel awesome. I felt super loved. then in recreo Julia brought out this oreo cake and it was delicious and marta gave me an apple which is an inside joke and that was also delicious. and then came all the selfies.
you can see Julia, the cake and the apple in this one
and here's marie. shes Canadian and really cool and she'll come up later in this blawg
later on that day, I hung out with my friend Audrey. we met up after my English lesson by the 4 towers because she lives near there.
this is what I see while waiting for her. pretty sweet
then we went to a 100 montaditos and got tinto de verano. which is basically a really sweet wine. im not a huge wine fan but it wasn't too bad. then we went to a chino and bought food and just hung out in the central looking at attractive Spanish guys. so that was a good night. hangin with Audrey is always fun
then on Thursday we had an English test and finished early so mooore selfies. and I just really like these ones. I got even more bored and edited them so heres my artificial face
also this day marta gave me a present. marta is seriously so cool. shes so nice and funny and although she never stops talking in class shes amazing.
so this is bigger than it looks in the photo. but its great. I cant wait to hang it up in my room in iowa and just remember everyone. I told my friends I wanted something to remember them by and she seriously nailed it.
so then yesterday, Friday, I kinda had a fiesta thing. I had invited a few of my friends to come to pio and we could eat and go on a walk or whatever. and some were only able to come later, so at first I hung out with Marie for a couple hours, which was fun. she may be Canadian (well actually she was born in france) but shes a cool girl. since shes only been here a couple weeks, we went to the temple. 
the sky was beautiful. as per usual
this is definitely my favorite from that evening
seriously, its like a rainbow
so then we went back to pio to meet up with luli. luli is one of my favorite people here. shes super nice and mature and funny, and she knows when to be quiet. my other friends never shut up, but shes always calm and sweet, and just overall a great friend. so we walked around a bit and ended up sitting outside talking about boys and where we're from (luli is from argentina) and it was great. really great. and then the rest came. honestly, it all went downhill from there. I had to go home for money, because my mom offered to pay for dinner for all of us (we eventually got kebap) so I had to go and get it. so i went with luli while the rest did whatever. then on our way back i asked where they were and they said they were waiting for another friend. now I like this friend, shes super cool, but i feel like if I invite people to a get together, because i want to spend time with them, and they invite someone else, it just changes things. I invited these people for a reason. but anyway, then we ate, and ended up just sitting around, because some of my friends wanted to drink and im like im not going to and theyre so indecisive and ugh. so then around 1130 i went home. so that was that
on a good note, orchestra was great this morning and I get to see emmy IN 5 FREAKING DAYS. im so excited. honestly I cant wait to see her again. we are the weirdest people and I just need her weirdness surrounding me again. let me just show you a glimpse of what its like just messaging each other:
this happens a lot
now imagine when we're together, after not seeing each other for 6 months. yeah. it'll be great.
also my Spanish is improving a ton. im honestly getting to the almost fluent point. it feels great when people tell me im improving, and when someone is speaking English with me, and one of my friends say, talk to her in spanish, she speaks like la puta madre. its freaking awesome.
but speaking of mothers, my host grandmother from my other family died and the funeral is on monday. I cant say im really excited about that, but im glad i can see my family again.
so that's that in marias fabulous life.
