The Lost Weekend Post

Ok, so I know I promised this post yesterday, but I never got around to writing it, so here it is:

I went to school like normal on Wednesday,

 but when I got home I was feeling really sick so I asked my host mom if I could stay home the next day. She said yes. So I went to bed early, but woke up about a billion times in the night, because guess what? Not only did I feel sick, but I was sick. (I won't go into any more details than that. Trust me. It was bad.) So I stayed home all of Thursday and Friday. Friday I missed the Dia de los Defuntos party at my school, which was sad because I didnt get to try the traditional Colada Morada, however I did have a guagua de pan. (Yes we eat bread babies here.) 

Emily showed up at my house Friday evening, complete with what looked like her entire life trying to fit into two suitcases. (It was more like 3 suitcases if you count all the extra bags she was carrying.) In case that description doesn't automatically tell you, I will tell you in plain and clear language: Emily moved out of her house. Emily's family hadn't really gotten along with her very well from the beginning, but on Thursday something happened that was the last straw, and so while Xplorer is working on finding her a new family, Emily is living with me.

On Saturday we layed in bed and did nothing until about lunchtime and then we ate fast and ran out of the house so that we could go see High School Musical 3. Yes, we saw it. In English with subtitles. It was AMAZING!!! I am pretty sure I am obsessed, anyone who has been talking to me on IM for the past few days can tell you that all I have been listening to are high school musical songs (from 1, 2 and 3). 

Sunday I went to church like normal. Afterward I went to lunch with a family I know from my church. I ended up having so much fun at their house that I just stayed until it was time to go to youth group. Emily spent the day at her church with the missionaries, but she met me at my church to go to youth group with me. It was really fun. 

Monday we didn't have school because of the holiday, so guess what we did? We layed in bed until lunchtime and then went to go see HSM 3! Anyone surprised? I told you I was obsessed didn't I? This time Emily and I went with Gabi and a couple of our friends from youth group. After the movie we went to the mall and got hot chocolate and then went to Family Home Evening at the home of one of the missionary couples from Emily's church. We got home pretty late and Emily and I were complaining that we didn't want to go to school the next day. (Notice that I hadn't gone to school since last Wednesday.) Emily wasn't sure what uniform we were supposed to wear for Tuesday so she called her friend to ask and found out that we didn't have school on Tuesday either. Yep, I know. I love this country. 

Emily and I stayed up all night talking. So we slept in pretty late on Tuesday. And then guess what we did? (If you guessed High School Musical, sorry you guessed wrong.) Gabi came over and we headed to Xplorer because I needed to pick up a package and Emily went to Spanish class. But it would have been funny if we went to go see High School Musical again, wouldn't it? We then stayed up late checking polls on my laptop. We could have watched it on CNN but we didn't really want to stay up all night, and we were worried that if we watched in on TV we might not ever be able to turn it off until we knew who won. I think I was the only one truly excited this morning when I checked who won. Gabi and Emily aren't necessarily McCain supporters, they are just not as politically active as I am. 

Today I actually went to school. I know, you're surprised. And guess what? I am going to go to school tomorrow too! All week even. In fact its the opening ceremonies for the sports teams at our school on Saturday and I am required to attend, so I am even going to go to school on Saturday. But I think we get Monday off because we have to go on Saturday. :-)
