Hmm...

Hmm..where to begin.

Thursday was our last day of school for the week. School went well and I had two pop quizzes but did just fine. Thursday night I just hung around my house and talked with my family and played with my little brother. Friday we didn't have school and went to Cuidad Fallera. A musuem about Las Fallas. Las Fallas is a HUGE festival in Valencia that takes place every year in March. It lasts for a week and basically the Fallas are just huge floats and at the end they are all burned. We watched a movie that explained how they were made and basically they are just gignatic natural wood statues painted. We saw some models of them and they were pretty cool. After that I went with Jana and Kaitlyn to Calle Colon (the road with all the stores) and we just walked around. I bought a few more postcards and that was it.

Friday night was awesome. My host familia went out with some friends so she made me dinner and then put it on the table for me to eat whenever I wanted. I had broccoli soup and chicken and susage. It was yummy. They were gone so I had the house to myself to get ready. I met some friends at a park by my house that has ruins in it. We were hanging out there and Jana, Kaitlyn and I split 2 bottles of wine. Wine is super cheap here..like 1 euro. Anyway so we were all just hanging around and talking to each other. Then we went to a bar around the corner and hungout there for probably an hour. Shots there were only 1 euro as well. That was nice. Then we decided to make our way towards the discoteca. But it was only 2:15 and still pretty early. Discotecas don't open until 2 here. So we went into the parking garage right across the street. We all just hungout in there and finished the other bottle of wine that we had. We went into the discoteca and it was amazing. I danced the night away and didn't make it home until 6:30 am which is still pretty early for them here. The discoteca had 3 floors, all with different music playing. I met a boy and danced with him all night. He only spoke Spanish so I got to pratice my skills all night. My friends were all around and we had a great time just dancing with each other. I love dancing. It was fun.

Today I wokeup around 1:15 and watched some tv online. Then Kaitlyn, Jana, and I went to see "Mal Ejemplo" which is the movie Role Models in America. It was in Spanish with no subtitles and I had not seen it in the US. But it was funny. We understand most of it and were proud of ourselves for going to see a movie in Spanish. I am not going out tonight because I am way too tired and need to do homework tomorrow. We have a full week of school this week with an excursion on Saturday, also known as Valentines day. I am excited for that.

Thats mostly all the important things. Some random things would be that I got a package from my mom. Yay. I also got a Valentines day card from my Aunt Cheryl. I love getting mail here. Its so excited and fun. I'm not doing anything fun tomorrow besides homework and probably reading.

Buenas Noches!!
