I haven’t been writing that much.

I feel that I’m not very good at it and it frustrates me to no end. When I was in High School, I used to get As on all of English papers, because I used to write so well. I still am a better writer in English than in Spanish, but I think that I’ve forgotten basic rules. *Sigh* I miss those days…

Anyways, this week was my last winter break week. I got to do so many things! It was awesome!

On Wednesday, I woke up early and then went to school to pick up my parking lot pass. I was scheduled to get it at 1 pm but I arrived at 12:15 and 20 minutes later, I already had my pass. While waiting, I got to talk to Fede. Fede is one of my classmates who I hadn’t talked to in ages. He’s really handsome and charming so it’s always nice to talk to him. On my way back, I got an SMS from Prince Charming (PC). I didn’t know what it said until I got home. At first I was excited because he was wishing me a Happy New Year and then the excitement fell when he asked me about classes that he could take and if I could help him with his schedule ¬¬. We messaged back and forth until he had his schedule figured out completely.

At 3pm I registered my classes. I talked to Alekz and then convinced him to meet me in Plaza Satélite in the afternoon. The reason I was going to Plaza Satélite that afternoon was that I was going to meet Aurea in person for the very first time. Aurea is one of my blogger girls, she’s Mexican but she lives in Sweden and she was here for Winter break.

I got to our meeting place at 4pm (I’m a time freak, as well as a clean freak) and waited for a bit and she arrived along with her mum and her BF. We talked a lot, about everything. She’s as cool in person as she is in her blog. Then we went to get sushi and her mum and BF caught up with us and Alekz too. It was all very nice, just talking and laughing. Her mum is really cool too, she’s very much like my mum. I really had a god time! The one bad thing: We both had out cameras but we forgot to take pictures!!!

Yesterday, we had our traditional Winter Gathering. The boys, Mido, L and Ami came over to my place to eat and had our gag gift exchange. The food was awesome! My mum makes the best meals and I was having fun until my mum pulled me into the kitchen and told me that we were ignoring L and Ami. I was like “What?” but left it at that and carried on with our food. We had various dishes (all full of meat, fat and spice), the cake and the snacks (brought by Isaac). Isaac asked if he could shower at my place, no one had ever asked me to take a shower… My mum was like o_O Sure. It was too funny.

My gag gift was a baby sweater in pink that read “eBay” (because I buy a lot of stuff from eBay). I gave Shana Pol girly writing supplies (because he’s manly and a writer), Mario gave Pakito a mirror (because he’s afraid of mirrors), Pakito gave Alekz a pin up of a sexy Super girl, Alekz gave Ami an apron and other stuff but I didn’t get the joke. Ami gave Isaac cropped undershirts (because he likes to show off his physique), Isaac gave L glowing glasses (to see Ami in a new way), L gave Javi something and Javi was going to give Mido his gift but he didn’t go.

Then we made our ay to Pockets Billiards to have some beer and play. This time I managed to, how to say it, I managed to get some balls into the holes in the pool table (I know no pool lingo). It was such a thrill! Shana Pol came with Shanna Pol (an old high School classmate of mine) and we talked for a bit. She’s as nice as I remembered her. Largo came too, I’ve missed him so much! But I only got to see him for a little bit because my Dad came to pick me up quite fast.

Here’s a picture:
