My new straigtener

I went to go plug in my straightener and it wouldnt turn on. so either i blew it up plugging it into a 220v outlet, even though I had a converter on there, or its just being annoying. Normally I would not care what my hair was doing, and usually its pretty straight all on its own. but recently its been doing this thing where it poofs out and has some waves in it????? so i had to buy one for fear of looking like a 12 year old. the cheapest one i could find was, yep you gessed it, a hannah montanna straightener. YAY

Ok enough of that. My dad came in on saturday to Barcelona and I went to go pick him up from the airport, it was quite an event. I have determined that spanish people are all skinny because it is SO hard to do anything here. It takes so much effort to do the simplest things. It took me an hour and 2 trains get to the airport not to mention the walking i had to do to get to the train station and to get from the train station to the airport. ouch. by then i was pooped. so we took a cab to the hotel. I stayed at the hotel that night and in the morning i had a nice continental breakfast that I managed to spill all over myself. So i then blew up another hair appliance by trying to dry my clothes with the hair dryer. It got too hot or something and just stopped working. The main thing we did this weekend was walk, and go to the museum which is free every first sunday of the month. On monday he headed off to England to visit some cousins that we have never met, and i stayed here to take a test ahhhh. the test wasnt that bad, i just dont know how this guy grades so i think i could do really good as long as he wasnt expecting me to write him a book, He did give us like 5 sheets of paper and I only used one front and back. (i wrote small dont fret)

I managed to do all that while coming down with something horrible I think i have yet another cold or something. at least this time my nose isnt running for the hills, last cold i had (only 2 weeks ago) was horrible, i think i went through 3 rolls of toilet paper. in two days.

Nothing too super exciting has been going on, i have started to get alot more homework and that is taking up most of my time. the weekends are still jam packed with stuff to do so I always look foward to them. I got invited again to go out this thursday with some peple from the residence. i keep telling them i have a class on friday at 8.30 and they are like ahhhh nooo just come out its nothing just come party. i dont know how they do it. i have decided that spanish people dont sleep. it must be how they eat all this horrible food, because they are so tired that they dont realize what they are eating and the residence can just feed them anything and they wont notice.

I also have some rediculious paperwork to do by the end of this week, it is for the renewal of my student visa and my international student card. Its kind of annoying. but right now i am waiting on a letter from carlos (head of the residence) so that the visa place will believe me that I am living here and going to school. Phillip and Justin went today and phillip got his accepted but justin didnt, apparently they didnt have the right paperwork and the guy didnt notice at first but he had already processed phillp's. lucky. They make it so hard to do its almost impossible to get done in a timely manner. its like they want us to fail......booooo
ok im hungry and its dinnertime so hopefully i wont have fried mystery meat again like I did last night...
