Hella lot of days - August 9th

WELL HI

It’s been like two weeks since I last posted, and some stuff happened.

The most important being GISHWHES. If you don’t know what it is here’s a link to a video that will probably explain it better than I would.

I can’t tell you about what is going on yet, but when gishwhes is done I’ll surely upload all the stuff I’m doing!

Day 19 - July 29th

In the morning I didn’t do much,  but later I went to the beach with my friends and spent the evening with them. The Coca-cola music experience festival was taking place at the end of the beach, and one friend and I decided to go (the others didn’t like the music). When we finally arrived, there was some security on the doors. The door was divided by dumpsters, and between them, there was a cop. So I go to pass the security, and the police ordered me to open my bag, which only had food. She told me the food couldn’t get in. A whole bag of food, for both my friend and I (I paid for all). I asked her what could I do with it, and she literally said “throw it away” pointing to the dumpster next to me.

HELL NO.

I WAS SO NOT GOING TO THROW AWAY MY FUCKING FOOD FOR SOME SHIT FESTIVAL OK. DO YOU KNOW HOW WORTH FOOD IS, DAMMIT.

Food is a present, not a right. It isn’t something disposable, and thank God I had something to eat. It was just some bread and ham to make a sandwich and some juice, BUT STILL.

So I left my friend (who had her own friends inside) and went home. Sorry not sorry.

It actually helped because my best friend offered to pick me up in her bike, and we ate the damn food together and talked at the beach. We had our first “fight” in years and spending time together today was a good thing. 

I liked it more, rather than being in a festival having thrown my food away. Not in this life you will catch me wasting edible food. Nope.

Day 18 - July 28th

Well, I kind of spent the day sleeping. Man, I was so wasted. When I started functioning as a proper person, it was like 8 pm and my mother made me have my coffee (because I can't do anything without my daily coffee, which I hadn't had). The problem is that I poured too much coffee, and now I'm lying in my bed with the Hamilton soundtrack in shuffle, trying (procrastinating) to clean my room, and because I had too much I'm pretty awake but coffee only gives you energy, not a will to do stuff. Nice. (Did I ever mention how much I LOVE Hamilton. I know the lyrics from the whole damn musical just by hearing it, and I'm SPANISH, ENGLISH ISN'T MY FIRST LANGUAGE. That's how much I love it.)

Day 17 - July 27th

Today nothing went as expected. I got up in the morning, decided to do some productive stuff and then hang out with my friends. I chose to clean my bird's cage, and... It fucking left his fucking cage. The bathroom was completely closed just in case, but it took me three hours to catch it. He's so smart, but as in human intelligence, because he has failed as a bird. He doesn't know how to fly or do bird stuff, he just stumbles and jumps on you just to land awkwardly and then walk. He walks. He twits when you speak to him and doesn't when you're speaking with someone else next to him. He sings with only some kinds of music, the ones he likes, and in the morning just to wake me up. And he's terribly scared of me. I mean, he likes me a lot because we frequently talk and spend days in each other's company, he also tries to run away from everyone else. But since I caught him with my bare hands in the street (he was very small and as I said, didn't know how to properly fly, probably would have died because of the winter), he's really scared of them. He likes me but with some distance. That's why I took so fucking long. When I finished, my friends had already arrived and I went through a crisis while I tried to dress up. But I quickly cheered up because of my friends, and we went to Plaza Mayor in my van, thanks to my brother who drove us there. We ate our sandwiches and some chicken the boys bought (from somewhere like KFC), then we kind of chilled there in the table, just talking. Just to find out, like an hour later, that the bowling place wAS FUCKING DEMOLISHED. ALL OF IT. RUINS. We specifically went there for bowling, because there are no other places in the whole city. And since it was FAR away from our house, we decided to spend the evening there anyway. We made the boys choose an outfit for us, and we tried our own. It was quite fun because they didn't want to choose something very suggestive, and even tho we're cool with that, they were so uncomfortable... It was a lot of fun. The night fell and when I called my brother to pick us up, he couldn't. Yep. Left in the outskirts. On a huge shopping centre in the middle of nowhere (near the airport tho). We took a bus, that took ages to arrive, and we got home very late. IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Not the bus, but the day. I loved it, even with a very dear friend of mine not coming... Yep, cool day

Day 16 - July 26th

So today it was St Anna's day (my day) and we celebrated with my favourite dessert and so. In the morning I got up quite early, because I presented my enrollment in college! It's official! I'm a college student :D

Day 15 - July 25th

Today I had the strength to wake up and clean my room, using the konmari method. I worked all morning, and in the afternoon I met my friends. I hadn’t seen them since the last time I posted about them. We just went to the mall and then chilled in some bank, enjoying each other’s presence. I had a great time, and honestly I’m very happy to have them.

Then FINALLY, when the clock striked 00:00 and it was July 26th, the lists for the second application to college were published, and I’m in.

MAN, I’M IN. IMMA STUDY TRANSLATION

Some explanations for my future self

I know I haven’t posted in a while, but you know, it’s ok. I’ve had a few bad days, depressing ones, but you had at least one happy moment in each one. You had good food, you bonded even more with your mother and shared some laughs. You’ve helped, and every kind and bit of help count. You're enough. Not even superheroes have always strength, you’re valid, ok?

Day 11 - July 21th

It's been five days since I last posted. I know the thing with this blog was to post daily so I have to do at least one fun thing per day. But sometimes bad things happen, and if you add the heat from the Spanish weather well... I could barely get out of bed. Today I finally went outside tho! I got dressed up, and went to a party I was invited. I'm not too close to the birthday girl, but she invited like half of the highschool, it was kind of an event for popular people, and she invited me! It was neat, but I didn't take any pictures :(

Day 6 - July 16th

Today it was cool because we had this very fancy meal:

It looks weird, but honestly, one of the best meals in the world...

Then I did as promised, and spent the whole evening playing with my little siblings with Barbies. I have 6 smaller siblings, and I was playing with 4 of them. We built a city! It was very cute.

Later we went to have some iced yogurt, because today is Saint Carmen and my sister is called Carmen, so it’s her day.

At night we saw (again for me) The road to El Dorado, as they had requested me. 

Second time in a week, still freaking AWESOME.

I have to stop posting so much food, really.

But wait for it, because tomorrow something big is going to happen, and it has nothing to do with food or whatever. You’ll see.

Day 5 - July 15th

Okay, I have to admit that today I cheated up a little bit.

It was kind of a chilling day. I got up quite late, then cooked some macaronni...

I went to church tho, with my mum. I kind of needed some rest, because I’m doing something big on Monday.

Day 4 - July 14th

So, apparently this one got deleted??

Anyway, today I made cannelloni

They were pretty good, considering it was the first time I had done that recipe, I forgot the salt and I overmixed them. 

Then late that evening I went to the beach with some friends.

It was pretty cool because even though the beach is situated at the end of the road, today we walked till the end of it (it’s a better spot).

Finally, at night I watched “The road to El Dorado” which is one of the greatest movies ever made.

It was like midnight when I started watching it. My siblings had asked me to download it so we could watch it the next day and so I did.

I was cheching if it really was the movie and not any innapropiate content, so I decided to watch the first 5 minutes.

HA!

I finished at 2 am. Totally worth it.

Day 3 - July 13th

So when I woke up today, a package for me had arrived. I had been waiting it for so long... I got a laptop!! My own laptop! How cool is that?

Then later I went to a concert my old choir performed.

I left last year because I had to face my last grade at high-school and I wanted to focus just on that area, but in september I’ll come back!

I missed them so much...

(I ended up the day with shawarma fries so that was niiiice)

Today was a GREAT day

Day 2 - July 12th

Today I woke up at 7 am! I wanted to see the sunrise.

then I went rollerblading.

I spent the rest of my day cleaning with my mother :D

[howaboutasummer]

Day 1- July 11th

Today I went to the library, and since I haven’t read a book for pleasure for a very long time and I’m a bit rusty, I picked my favourite novel: ‘Notre Dame de Paris’. I also made lunch and dinner for my whole family.

[howaboutasummer]

The point of this

I finished high-school and even tho I’m happy because I got admitted in college and I don’t have to study for a long time, not having a purpose for waking up every morning is the worst thing. And since I don’t want to fall into depression (like I did last summer) I thought of making this my purpose!

So it’s basically like a game. I have to do something special everyday, it doesn’t have to be huge but you know, something. Then I post it here, as if this was a diary.

I don’t care about people seeing this or not, it’s more for myself. Anyone is welcome though, and if you can relate I recommend you to do the same (please write me if you do so we can compare!)
