I have not felt like blogging for the past couple of days till a week really, but that is okay. A couple of funny things happened last week, but at the time were very frustrating. Number one, I dropped my cell phone into a glass of water while laying in my bed one night and ruined it, So, I did not have a phone for about a day and a half and had two not so nice experiences at Cingular here in town. The people were not very nice in my opinion, but some of that could've been my attitude I was a bit mad. The same day I had the experiences at Cingular I am at home and was cooking some lunch. Well, I closed my bedroom door because I did not want some flys to get into my room. Later I go back to the room and I can't open the door, I accidently locked myself out of my own bedroom. I was like what to do my keys, wallet and everything is in there and I have to leave. I found a screwdriver and broke into my own bedroom! The doorknob is unfixable I think, I have to buy a new one.

I had my last conversation group ever last week and that is very sad to me and the same day Friday night my last official Nation 2' Nation. I cried during a little speech I gave in front of everyone, embarrassing! But I'll be up to visit a lot, my parents' house is only 3 hours away from here. I am still really bummed about leaving because everyone knows I consider my friends my family more than my own blood family most of the time. But a lot of my friends are really making me feel a little bit more special this week, which makes it all the harder to leave!

Packing is going okay I guess. I need boxes which will be happening soon, but yeah. Today pretty much the whole afternoon there were people at my house though ripping out all of the old carpet and putting new carpet down. It was loud and annoying and I stayed in my room pretty much the whole time. My landlord called and it was like I thought it would be okay, we thought you would be at work all day. Last week he came over and ripped out all of the basement carpet while I was gone and asked before he did it, so it was okay. But today no warning or notice! I cannot really wait to leave this duplex anyway, it is pretty crappy!

Today I started to read a book that I have read before called, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of my favorite authors. I tried to start another book in Spanish of mine that I haven't got to yet and with everything going on my mind couldn't do it. But I started the book today and I am through the first 100 pages already. The first chapter, in my opinion, is one of the best opening chapters to a book of all time. It is a love story. . . a girl and a man fall into an intense love relationship only communicating by secret letters. Well, she ends up marrying someone else and the first chapter of the book describes them and their marriage in a beautiful way after fifty years together. Well, the husband dies and enter the former love back into the woman's life. I really like the book, but I love to read books anyway!

GGM is one of my favorite authors. But for soem reason, I got stuck with Cien Anos de Soledad. I read it before in English but just got bored for some reason with it in Spanish about 280 pages into it. I really enjoy it, but sometimes I think the reading in another language can be at times tiring depending on the book, subject, vocabulary, etc.
