Week of Journaling: Day 6

Today was a slow day that went fast. Meaning: I spent a lot of time doing nothing. But it was the good type of nothing- my host sister just broke up with her boyfriend of four years, and had an awful test early in the morning, so when she came back I made her pancakes and we opened up the NH maple syrup I brought as a host gift. It was a nice morning and it was great to spend some time with Javi and Claudia.

In the afternoon I went to Patronato, a street/area lined with very cheap clothing and shoe stores. I had never actually been there, though I'd been in the area often (it's near La Vega) and was amazed by the overwhelming amount of clothing! I bought new ballet flats, a shirt, and a dress. Very exciting. After shopping I tried to go buy a guitar AGAIN, but the shops were closed early. Arrg. I keep being thwarted in my guitar-buying expeditions! I came home early and did homework for the rest of the night. I know, quite a Saturday night. I'm trying to be proactive, since I know I am going to want to spend all of my time with Rebecca over the next few days!!!

I am meeting up with Rebecca TOMORROW MORNING! I'm suuuper excited. I will be staying in a hotel with her near Santa Lucia in the center of the city for a few days. With that in mind, I'm off to finish my homework...
