I cant stop smiling.....

So this week kinda sucked cause I was really sick. I am currently taking amoxocillian because my lymph nodes swelled up and it hurt really bad to swallow. My whole body ached... it was terrible. But with my medicine and the 600mg ibuprophens that Belen gave me I feel much better!

Im not sure what it was, but this week changed a lot of things for me. Belen was really great and took care of me, and all of my friends here were messaging and calling me to make sure that I was ok. My professor told us that when we got here we would have to create our own social network, and I guess i did it kinda sub-consciously, because I have! And it feels so great! I know that I love my home and my friends and family back there, but even when I was sick, I couldnt really feel sad! And this is kinda strange for me. For those of you who know me really well, you know when im upset I kinda sit in it for awhile until I get through it. One example of this is that I´ll listen to really depressing mucic, because it usually makes me feel better. You know, to know that someone else knows how I feel. But lately I cant even do that! Even when people arent around I have a smile on my face! And I love music, so i always make playlists for different aspects of my life, and my playlist for being here is completly full of energizing, lively, yet meaninful, songs. Its great! Its joy... I think i finally have figured out the difference between being happy and being joyful. No im not that happy, cause I cant drink or eat ice cream for 8 days!!! But my soul is full of joy because of all the love and support I have not only here but back home too.

If that all wasnt enough, I also couldnt sleep a wink last night because my sister surprised me that she will be here next thursday!!!! I literally laid in bed, trying to sleep, laughing because I was so excited.

Oh, and the rabbit that is in our house is going to have babies. Ah my life in Spain!

I love you all a lot!!!
