Today was a little rough. I had to wake up early and didn't feel very good. I tried to make it to my classes, I got the University (I was very proud of myself, I get some cred for that right?) but just felt like I wouldn't be able to make it through my classes this morning, so I hopped back on the metro (super rough ride) and came home. When I woke up at like 12pm I felt a little better. I talked to mom, which was wonderful, but then it made me really homesick. And because of the time difference, it being like 7am for you in the States, no one else was online to curb my craving for American-ness. So I shared a pot of coffee with my compi (roomie equivalent) had a quick snack then went back to bed, this time with a non-physical illness. I got up around 4, which is what time my afternoon classes started, so obviously missed those today too.
I'm one of those people who is really anal about how I spend my time and what I have allotted to do when etc etc. This also goes for social commitments, classes, club functions etc etc. Now, a lot of you know, that I am usually a good 5-10 minutes late to most things (shout out to you Emmicita). But, if I am supposed to be somewhere, I'm there, even if I'm a few minutes late. Needless to say, the fact that I missed 4 classes today on top of not feeling well and being homesick, my day kind of sucked.
All this is background info so you know my excitement during a 20 minute rendezvous in a store in Centro (center of Sevilla, hoppin place lemme tell ya). So, there is this store called FNAC. I have absolutely no idea what the acronym stands for but it is essentially our Best Buy. I have seen it a couple of times and this afternoon I had to go to the We Love Spain (BANGING weekend trips to Portugal, Morocco, the beach etc etc) offices to pick up my membership card and pay for my Sunday beach trip to Cadiz (Holla!). Anyway, I thought I would pop in and see if I could buy some more converters. That part of the FNAC adventure was unsuccessful. However, I roamed into the DVD/TV Series section of the store and my soul smiled... if your soul has never smiled, you have never lived. Mind you that last part is probably a huge exaggeration, but you still get my drift.
Frasier, Weeds, Gilmore Girls, Friends, Sex and the City, 24, A Walk in the Clouds, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo, Forest Gump, Winnie the Pooh, Gossip Girl, Ever After and a whole lot more... all in SPANISH. Ahhh! It made me so happy. I wanted to buy them all. No no, don't worry, I didn't, but I wanted to. It was so nice to see things so familiar, even if they were in another language. I was especially excited to see A Walk in the Clouds, its one of mom and I's favoritest movies. Yes, my soul did smile, it was such a lovely feeling. It was a nice little pick me up.
But yeah, there's my little story for today. Hope you guys in America had a good day.
Besos de Sevilla!
