Dia 19, Lazy Sunday: 5 Julio

Well, like the title suggests, I had another lazy day. It’s been quite a good day so far. It’s only five o’clock right now, so I realize more could happen later. I don’t think I am going to leave the house again though. I woke up somewhat later than I had originally planned. My house mom didn’t go to church this week, so maybe we’ll go next week. I hope so because that will be an interesting experience. I know that Thomas and Adam went to a church today though, so maybe they’ll have some cool stories about it.

After I did my usual morning thing, I worked on my homework for a little over an hour. Then, when I finished, I decided to get out of the house, even if just for a little while. I just started walking down Santa Fe for a few blocks. Then I headed back. On Sundays here, everything is closed other than restaurants, some pharmacies, and grocery stores. I think I might have seen one clothing store open. I was hoping that there would be a book store open because it’s a little rainy today and a perfect day for reading! But alas, no new books for Cambria. I do have a magazine I could read, but that won’t take me long at all. Mom and Dad sent me a book…but who knows when it will get here.

On my way walking back home (after about 20-30 minutes of walking) I stopped at the grocery store. I got some more apple juice (it’s so good here!) and a large bottle of Sprite, some crackers and a package of cookies. Then I went home…and here I am. I finished my update from yesterday and decided to go ahead and start today’s for what I had done so far. Like I said earlier, I don’t know if I am going to do anything else today, I just need a day to rest and hang out.

Later on…

Nothing else exciting has happened. =) I worked on some more Spanish work and watched some television. But it’s been a good day, and at least I got out for a little while earlier. I suppose I can teach you all some more slang, I’m sure you’ve been dying to learn more! Ha ha…

- Bárbaro: “Yeah, I agree.” You basically use this at the end of sentences to show that you’re on the same page with someone. Like: “Oh yeah, gotcha.”

- Quilombo: a mess. To describe something that is “a mess”. Very informal.

- Ir de joda: to have fun (literally: to go to have fun)

- Fiaca: unmotivated, done, lazy, “Tengo fiaca” – I am done. I can’t focus anymore! (I feel that way sometimes!)

And now you’ve all learned some more fun words to add to your dictionaries. I know you’re all studying up and are going to have this all down when I come home (as if I use these words everyday, lol).

I have class at my new location tomorrow! I don’t even know what kind of a building we’re meeting in since all the schools are closed…hmm, we’ll see!

More stories (hopefully more exciting) tomorrow! =) Love you and miss you!
