Sabbath

el dia de repaso. well, kind of.

today we got up, made coffee and cereal, and had a nice togethered breakfast. we still had tons to put away and organize, so we spent most of the morning folding and hanging clothes in our new closet spaces. oh, guess what! my room has a sewing machine in it! hah! everyone needs to get ready for some sweet spanish clothing when i return. muahah. i wish. and the key to our apartment look like it was made during the renaissance edad. pretty cool. people are pretty nice and accomodating here...but i'd say the most intimidating ones are the middle aged ladies who (por ejemplo) take your bills and look at them for five minutes deciding whether or not you've scammed them with fake money. psssh, come on. i only wish i could be so crafty!

Last night was cute, as the roomies and I sat up chatting about what we thought love was. it was nice hearing a varying set of stories from our experiences. life is great, isn't it?! (i wasn't saying that last week). but now my thankful button has been pushed and i'm loving every second. everything is novelty. kind of like ice cream. absolutely amazing. 

So, we've had a lot of firsts in the past two days. 
-first dinner
-first "circle time" with my 2 new compaƱeros
-first run on la playa
-first trip to the supermercado
-first shower (these butanos [gas cans] are a doosie to use!)
-first pictures of our new apartamento y las cosas que occurian en los dos dias pasados!
