Hola!

Good Afternoon everyone! Wow the blog has been busy these past couple of days. I just spent like 45 minutes reading everything. I love it, I love reading whats going on with everyone and the things that happen during everyone's days.
Tricia, I would love to work with you in your catering business! That would be awesome!
Jenn, Thanks for the support about culinary school! I still like eating food more than cooking it haha, I'm so excited to see you guys in Feb., that will be really nice if Mike cooks for us!
Bern, yea I'm not sure why exactly the schools are free, but I have a friend who goes to one and you just need to have a Spanish residency card, which I am working on getting, and you enroll to the school free of charge. They are probably public schools, but here in Spain they have a lot of opportunities for young people, because I think they have a problem with people moving out of the country for jobs, so now they are working on fixing that problem. They just started a new program where anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 who rents an apartment gets 200 euros a month to help pay for it, and they also give 600 euros to help pay the security deposit. Its not welfare, its for everyone, you just need to have a steady job and do the paperwork.
Mark, haha a cook off would be fun, or we could just make a big dinner between the 2 of us for anyone who wants to stop by, we don't need inter-cousin competition, hahaha Oh and about the shyness, I have the opposite problem, when I just meet someone I will talk their ears off about anything, but then later when I get to know them better I get shyer and shyer, not sure why but pretty weird right (Bern do you know why that might be, am I a freak? haha)
Oh yea and don't be scared of the future or have regrets of the past. Go with the flow and look for your own happiness, thats the most important. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and in Karma, and as long a you're a good person (which you're a great person in my opinion) that good things will come. Even the bad things that happen have a purpose, thats when you learn the most And if its any relief, I learned yesterday from this old Spanish man that the Future really doesn't exist, and if you think about it, well it doesn't, so you can't be afraid of something that doesn't exist......haha I have no idea what I'm talking about, sorry haha
Kristy- Wow 56 pounds, you are really kicking ass! I admire your motivation! Can't wait to see you in Feb.
Sarah- have you already decided that you don't want to work in a salon? I was looking on that Craig's List that I mentioned before and there were tons of listings for stylists needed and salon chairs up for rent and stuff. I think you should try it out, and then if you don't like it think more about nursing school. I mean you put so much time and energy into graduating and stuff, you should give yourself a chance.
Susan- I hope you're having a good day at work, and that things aren't too tedious, talk to you more later on! And yay!!! 8 days left!!!
Well if anyone out there is bored and wants a little 5 minute distraction, me and Alex were looking at videos on youtube the other day and we found these videos of this genius chimpanzee that are first off amazing and probably one the cutest things i have ever seen. Really this chimp is amazing, I'm really hooked. Well here's the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T_U7i8iDHw but if you go to the youtube site and type in genius chimpanzee a ton of videos pop up, its all in Japanese but the words don't matter, its just what he does.
Well I hope I didn't forget anyone and I hope that all your days are going well! Love you all!
Lauren
