Monday morn. 5-28-07

I am up early this morning. And my stomache still hasn't stopped gurgling and intestines moving. I didn't have dinner last night. Was hoping for at least some heilado but nothing is open on Sunday except the bars and those are gross. I really do hate them. O- and church, too, is open on Sundays. The church and the bars. Take your pick. I say gross to the bars for real. Yuck, seriously, I am grossed out.
Looking for food and friends last night left me hungry and feeling thankful for Charlie who is 24 (more mature). Although she works at a bar, she doesn't get excited about Heinekin and blunts. She just does her thing and is nice. Not desiring so much attention. However, let me speak a good word about the rest. They at least are going to CEGRI, I did find it. The school is actually called CEGRI and is hidden away like in an alley (an alley is a short street inbetween the others -and all streets here are small). They say it is pretty on the inside and it takes about a good 20 min walk there.
I live in an apartment-ish, high-rise building. Dwellings above me, below, and prob on both sides. 3 out of 6 walls are prob connected to other dwelling places. Noise is loud. Especially my room (so I feel because I am in it…) but, the casita is cute. Really! It is pretty much modern and updated, very much. It looks like soemthing out of the IKEA magazine. Some would like it. I am just not sure the quality of it yet. (However, nothing lasts forever, but maybe it is better to have better things. I am sure of it.)
I have a little red chair that looks pink against my baby-yellow walls and white trim. Dim-ish lights (lighting affects everything). However, the chair looks just like the one at home -except a little more beat up.
Senora Elvira (Iglesias, is her last name -not a bad one, it would be cool if she went to one. They say people either go to church everyday or only on holi-days, which they get drunk in the streets on. -interesting.) Anyway, mi Senora said Bradley from California was here this past semester for the winter. I guess he stayed in the room I am in. Is it bad that I want to rearrange it? There are two wardrobes in here (like from "Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, only the kind from Wal-mart, it seems) (thought: I need to check my email or get contact somehow from my prof at DBU about my final paper which I already sent to her but wanted to hear back to make sure 1) she got and it and 2) it was what she expected (of some sort at least).
K, back the the story, Bradley, from Cali, wardrobe, and rearranging the room. Yes, I would like to. One of the wardrobes is useless! Not being used, just sitting next to my desk. It is like the wall wasn't long enough to turn it the other way so the doors were facing out! Lol… no, I see it as the room just needs to be moved around, that is all. And I have already figured out how I want to do that. Maybe later. There are other things I need to take care of first. One being that I am hoping my senora is going to wake up and make me breakfast. I feel like I would be at home, and if I got up early, mom would be up too, making breakfast, or at least encouraging me to get some. She would be up herself, and so would the sun. Nada here. I need to be walking out the door at 8. a good walk for an hour, it seems. No, but Kristen (the other girl), lives inbetween Charlie and I, all on the same street, about 10 blocks apart all together. I think I prob live the furthest, and in the best position, for me (at least, that is how I am going to see it -the rest are complianing and want to move (except Charlie -she likes her place, too).
I am charging my comp right now. I can basically use one outlet at a time, cause I only have one converter. But all is well, I don't need to use it as much as normal. I just take turns throughout the day charging my phone, camera, and laptop. Lots of pictures I have taken yesturday when I got here and was able to walk around solo. Which was nice. I needed it. Really. I am useless without independence (prob because I get distracted easily, and when I am by myself, no need for social skills but only that which is needed for the task/s at hand, and so far, that has been traveling to get here.) I guess I should learn how to be independent when I am around people, too. Yes, that I shall do.
Anyways, back to walking around and pics last evening. "Orange trees!!" I want to exclaim! "Orange trees all over!" Oranges just fall on the ground here in the plazas/bed of flowers and decorate the town! wow. A river in the middle of town, which I have to cross over (big pedestrian/auto bridges). It has not water, except the greenish stuff more at the top of town. (I here someone up! Yay!!!). I think more in the south the river is fuller.
I took pics of all of this, of course. Take a look. They are cool (so I think).
About 7 o'clock now. A shower and hopefully some breakfast. If none here (which I am suppose to get 2 meals a day, I should of just stayed home last night for that but didn't think about that. (I really just wanted to talk to Kristen who, I guess, reminds me of Taylor Bigler, yes, very much.) I saw her, she randomly has other friends here, people who know her brother and people from all over (I think it is just that South Dakota isn't very big, and "everyone-knows-everyone" type of thing.)
Anyways, if not breakfast here, the frutas I shall go. (no more Churros y café, Please!)

Wrap up: so I am hungry and need to finish my story about events in Torremolinos.
Ready for "ideaphoria?!?!" (where I just blurt out everything that has to do with it but it takes like one minute instead of 3 hours). (I might be the only one that understands, but that's okay. Some will get me. Hopefully. If not, I need to do some friend-developing. (I miss Katie!!!!!!!!!!!)
Okay, Ideaphoria:
Sangria, beach, friends, eating, sick, yuck, tuna, don't do that. O! after the sickness, the next day: message on the beach from the chinos for like 10 Euros. Then some sangria, which I really like, of course (fruity wine). I felt much much better since!)
Shops, no buy, not yet.
Fernando, manager, silly. Needs help. Fladomir -Ukranian. AJ -Spanish/Canadian -interesting/cool guy. For the other girls. Mullets are in. Again.
Thankful for Katie, think of her often. Jewish stars and tons of English/Irish/Scotish -Europas- peeps here.
I see my mom a lot in these people here. I tried to take a pick. And the older men, Alfonso.
Older ladies, gma. They dress up here, too. Yes, everyone dresses very nice.
(this is modified ideaphoria, not quite the run)
Sun is coming up. I should get going. Chao!
Muah to all my family! :)!
