Day 60

I got up early to try to finish my homework (because I was uninspired at midnight), and I did some research online. Our final project was to speak in front of the class for two to three minutes, and I spoke about San Antonio -- how it was founded (did you know that it was colonists from the Canary Islands?), the climate, the Battle of the Alamo and of San Jacinto, Fiesta, and Tex-Mex food. Due to my procrastination, I left the house later than I intended and then traffic was worse than usual, so I was a few minutes late to class (but I did get to work on it on the bus because I got a seat). It was really interesting -- I think I want to go to China in the winter because they have all these buildings made out of ice and then lit up with super colorful lights. I think it looked a lot like Rainbow Road, the last level in the Star Cup in MarioKart -- bien chevere (very cool). I came home after and had lunch with the roommates. I didn't do much but lounge around the apartment all day, which I think was what I needed after such a long weekend. Sonia was here to clean the apartment, and I watched the third season of "The Office" for a while, which was fun. I needed to go to the grocery store, but I didn't really want to move. I was actually craving popcorn, but I didn't know how to make it without a microwave or JiffyPop on the stove. And then -- awesome -- Raquel comes home and makes popcorn (canchita) in a pot and offers me some. I have wonderful roommates! Then I went to bed early.
