A Real Birthday 5-Oct-2011

Well, it is now 11:00 pm my time, and I need to get some stuff done, but I just want to recap a great day really quickly. If you are wondering why the title is A Real Birthday, It is because today actually felt more like my birthday than my actual birthday did. Today, I had two classes and got to sleep in until 10 am. That is always welcome. I was planning on going to Valencia today to a bike store to finally get a bike, but logistically, it wouldn't have worked out, because I would have to go on the bus and the train to get there, and I would either be carrying a very large box a very long way, or I would have to ride the bike all the way home, about 40 km. I talked to the P.E. teacher here, and he said he will let me know the next time he goes to that sporting goods store so I can go with him. Almost instantly after I decided not to go to Valencia today, the dean called me on my room phone, and told me my package arrived, so I ran down the stairs like a second grader on Christmas morning, got my package, and ran back up to my room. I ripped that package open as if I was being timed to open it. I want to thank my parents for the peanut butter, tapioca pudding, dates, and amazing puzzle they gave me. The puzzle is a map of my homeland that I miss so dearly...or at least I do now after seeing the puzzle. I will be entertained for the next week putting that baby together. Josh, Eric, Esther, and I then went to get gelato in honor of Josh's birthday and my belated birthday. After, Josh and Eric went back to the college, and Esther and I went to the beach and walked a long, long ways, and had a nice long conversation. We got back to the school around 9, and I found myself in a volleyball game...just happened to find myself on the court, and I played for quite a while. Now, I have plenty to do, so I am going to sign off now.


Hasta la proxima vez...
