So I come up from Pepa and Emilio´s after a nice chat and a declaration from Emilio that they love me more than a daughter, and 20€ for my weekend trip to Aguilas from Pepa who wouldn´t hear of taking it back. I was going to use the money to take a taxi to meet up with Michelle and some of the other girls who were going out that night. They were meeting really far away from my house and it was too late to walk around looking for soemthing I had no idea where it was. So in a deseprate attempt to make friends I was goign to go anyway. I said hi to my roommies and then asked what was wrong, seeing the looks on their faces. They explaing that Zore´s grandpa, who was sick last weekend, and had had skin cancer was going to have his ear removed the next day in the city of Murcia. So it was scary and serious and they were going straight to Murcia and wouldn´t be in Aguilas till maybe Saturday night. They felt terrible about the ticket and had called the bus company to see if I could get my money back or what. I was a little shocked, and had no idea what to do. I thought of going anyway and staying with Mada´s mom till they got there, but then decided that might be wierd and that the last thing they needed to worry about was a touristic visit that weekend. So they were feeling pretty down and decided to eat dinner here instead of going out. So I went back down to Pepa´s and Emilio´s, cancelled my ticked and got most of my money back, cancelled with Michelle, and left the money Pepa had given me there on the table since I knew she wouldn´t take it back. Then I went back upstairs and foung my roommateds all dressed up and make up upped and going out on the town. I was a little shocked as I just cancelled all my plans to hang out with them, since Zore was so upset about her grandpa. She didnt look happy but they were out untill at least past 2 I think. So then I watched tv for a while and got hooked on another great show called Cuenta Atras, which is kinda like Backwards Story, a police story told in chunks so you don´t know what happens till the end. Then I went to bed and my sister called me around 2, which is how I know my roommates weren´t home yet, and then finally went back to sleep.
So Friday I got up earlly and went to work. Rosa and Zore left. Work was fine, my longest morning from 9:30 to 2:30 and I was pretty tired after it all. Then home, Pepa made lunch and left a plate for me which I picke up on my way to my house. She called to tell me about it durign my last period and my phone went off in class! It was embarassing but not really a big deal. So I ate lunch and rested while I watched Fama. Then I went to work. I also forgot the mention that last week i finally figured out that kid´s name. Its Pablo. Thankfully last week his mom said something like Arent´you going to say hello Pablo?! so I finally figured out his name after several weeks of giving him class. That class went fine, then I ran a few errands, cleaned my room, washed the dishes the girls had left, practiced guitar, and called Michelle. She was going to get tapas at 9:15 and I met her and her friend Kay who was visiting this week from the states. Unfortunately, she was leaving at 7 Saturday mornign so by 10:15 I was on my way home alone. It was a terrible and shocking realization that I have zero friends apart from Victor here in Granada. I went home and watched a really fascinating documentary type show of obese people in Spain, who of whom was also a stripper. It was like I mentioned fascinating. Then I watched Catch Me If You Can on tv with Adri and his girlfriend when they came home and found me there to ruin their romantic weekend alone. Then bed.
Saturday I woke up and dinked around the house for a while before going on a 2 hour walk along the river, also called Fuente de la Bicha. It was a georgeous, sunny, warm day and an amazing walk. I always go runnign there, but running I don´t go as far as I can walking. So it was good to see something new, (I had been that far before the last time I was here but not since this trip.) I also have a habit of once I find a route that I like, I always take it. I also heard that its better for your brain if you go different routes, it makes you think mroe, and so I tried to always take a different route that I hadn´t before everytime I had a choise. It was great. Now I have to go but I´ll try to finish later.
