Day 19 - Since I had such a busy weekend all I did today was go to class and write my blogs! I also took a siesta for an hour, which was fantastic. I met up with my friends for churros and chocolate and we talked about places to stay in London. To be honest, the churros and chocolate weren't as sweet as I thought and we're kind of diasppointing. Also, you could taste that they needed to change their frying oil for the churros. Since planning for London took longer than I expected, I ended up coming home to shower and get some rest. Day 20 - I woke up early in the morning to finish my homework and when I went to the kitchen to grab breakfast I was surprised to find everything covered. The windows in the apartment were getting changed and they had moved all the furniture and covered everything so it wouldn't get ruined. They told me last night that I would be able to eat breakfast but just that the table would be in a different spot. WELL, not true. Even though I tried to go under the plastic it was virtually impossible and since it was Tuesday I went to the bakery for breakfast. After I bought my things I realized that I probably bought way too much to eat for myself and when I got to school shared the calories with friends. They were awesome. The one on the right was basically bread with whipped butter and sugar on top. (To be honest it was not so great. Wouldn't get it again.) Then there is a croissant filled with whipped cream and a bun with CHOCOLATE whipped cream. The bun with chocolate whipped cream was my favorite. Simply amazing. After class, I met with my friend Kenzie at the movies to see Del Revés (Inside Out). Since I saw it at home before I knew exactly what was going on but was kind of surprised by how much I understand the dialogue. Very proud of myself! Anyone who has seen Inside Out knows how it plays with your emotions and I realized that it's actually a very relatable movie for me right now. I'm in a different country, in an unfamiliar place, experiencing completely new things, living with people I have known for 2 weeks, and studying in a completely environment. Anyone who has studied abroad or has followed my blog knows how intense these emotions can be. Definitely a great movie to remind me I have a wonderful family supporting me from home. :) Shout out to my parents! Love you! <3
When I got home, I ate dinner with my host mom and brother and FINALLY had the courage to let her know I wasn't too happy with my food situation. I told her everything was good and I appreciate it but I can't eat pasta and pizza everyday and I'd much rather cook for myself because I'm a picky eater. THANK GOD I said something because as soon as I did they agreed and said they were trying to figure out how to suggest I cook my own food without sounding rude. Literally, one of the hardest conversations I've had here. Very nerve wrecking but definitely worth it because now they are excited to see how well I can cook. They better be prepared for the party on their tastebuds!! :) Now to catch some beauty rest! Goodnight! P.S. A pigeon casually walked into the cafe and was pecking around. No big deal.
