It's Sunday, the end of a long week. I figured I should give y'all an update on life. Nothing too exciting has been happening so I don't have anything to blog about, just small things.

Last night these men said I looked like Lucy Liu. Well, I guess that's an improvement from looking Japanese. Good job...I guess?? Close; but no cigar fellas. I told the guys they probably think all Asian women look like Lucy Liu. Their reply was no no you're the prettiest Asian girl we've seen. Ha! Okay I am starting my Flirting 101 class for Spanish men soon. Be on the look out for that.

Though I'm not from Japan. My heart goes out to their people. The death toll keeps rising and there seems to be no good news for them. I really should stop reading and looking at pictures. I heard a rumor that Justin Bieber donated $1 million to Japan. As much as we all rag on the kid, he's doing something at least.

Why is EVERYONE, including myself, turning 21 while I'm abroad?! No fair! I am missing out on all the festivities. This man asked for IDs Friday night. I have no idea why because I havent seen any bouncer ask for IDs the entire time I've been in Spain but I got to whip my ID for the first time since becoming 21. Not that exciting. lol I will need to document this moment when I get back to Texas. Someone will ask for my ID and I will actually get to prove that I am 21.

After being in the crappiest mood lately, I came home last night to a letter.
AHH this made my week. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. A little piece of home was exactly what I needed. It was placed on my bed after I left my house. When I returned I immediately opened it! Can't wait to write you back! I won't say anything more because then I would have no need to write a letter back. Just thank you. You're the sweetest and hope you had the best birthday and you're having the best Spring Break.

Feria is a huge festival in May. I am so excited. Everyone wears great extravagant dresses, like amazing Flamenco ones and walks the streets. Hopefully, my senora will let me borrow one. If not I am looking for rent one at least and take part in Feria. I am going to start taking a Sevillana dance class so that I can dance when they perform on the streets. It's suppose to be amazing. I will keep you updated on my dance progress and what Feria is like.


I am going to Morocco this Thursday to Sunday. I am scared. We are staying with a host family for two nights. They are really trying to immerse us into the culture and learn. I thought we were over the whole culture shock thing...? I am still trying to deal with Spain. hah jk I am really excited about Morocco actually. It's suppose to be quite amazing and worth the trip. I hear toilets are pretty much holes in the ground and showers are best to be avoided. Yikes. I am not miss prissy or anything but I am not miss outdoorsy either. I need nice, hot showers. I will definitely make an effort to blog about Morocco. I know I should've made an effort to cover Brussels and Amsterdam but I got lazy.

Oh, I saw my first prostitute yesterday. I heard there were a lot around here but hadn't witnessed it til last night. She definitely was a whore. She literally stood on the corner of the street wearing next to nothing and danced by herself. She was smoking(barf) and shaking her ta-tas as cars drove by. It was kinda tragic to watch. Even more, she was a terrible dancer and had no rhythm( probably why she got no business) and didn't see that pretty. We watched her from a window a few floors up so I didn't get a close up of her face but I could tell she wasn't the best. haha. In all honesty, I felt bad for the woman. It was starting to rain and she was still out there trying to get some business. I hate that women have to degrade themselves down to becoming whores. There has to be something better out there for ya girl.

My little sister cried yesterday because my senora and I were talking about her mom and dad. My little sister's dad asked her to ask her mom to dinner. My little sister's parents aren't together but the mother is still in the love with the father. I am sure the father has something for the mother as well. My senora and I were saying that we wanted her parents to be together, but my little sister said she didnt want them together. I was so shocked. Most kids wants their parents to be together and to be a happy little family. Instead she didn't tell her mother that her father invited her mother to dinner and told us not to tell her mother. At first, I was so shocked that she didnt want her parents to be together but then I understood. Her parents have always been off and on and used to constantly fight. She rather be happy with both parents but separately. There is a whole lot more history to this but I'll leave this rather simple. poor girl though. She's 11 and having to deal with her parents complicated relationship, but she's lucky to have two amazing and loving parents.

I have my last midterm tomorrow and I am so unbelievably unprepared. This is my hardest and worst class. I pretty much doze off every single class. I thought Spanish civilization and culture would be interesting and beneficial because it is taught in Spanish. However, I find myself bored to death on most days and not learning a damn thing. Wish me luck tomorrow on my exam! I definitely need it. Ok off to study. No more procrastination....
