turnin' up: a Greek episode

(i) I've started to watch Greek. I caught an episode on a few weeks ago, then I watched a couple more and now that I have my new super internet conection I've downloaded the whole season and I'm marathoning it. Right now I've just finished episode 10, which is exactly the first one I watched on TV. Anyway, I'm surprisingly really into the show.

(ii) Next in line: In Treatment. I was pretty intrigued by the synopsis and I've started downloading the entire season as well. I just was not expecting so many episodes!

(iii) Yesterday I went out with the girls from this writing class I'm taking. It was so so nice. God, I miss hanging out with friends so much. Hope we start hanging out more often.

(iv) Speaking of hanging out... I need a life so bad. I need to meet people, make new friends, and go out more. I just have no idea how to do that in a city where I know pretty much no one. That sucks.

(v) Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna force myself to work out. I'll see if there is power at the downstares mini-gym, because then I could just take my laptop and watch a couple of episodes of whatever show while a exercise a bit. Sounds like a good plan to me.

Everything is coming together now. I got portraits and furniture and my apartment is starting to feel like home. And that's really good.

turnin' up: The Truman Show at the TV

1. Supposed to finally get my internet tomorrow. Cross your fingers for me. They called me. Maybe next friday. Damn it! That's a incredibly bad costumer service.

2. I looked back at my journal and I'm feeling pretty bad for neglecting it. But it's kinda hard to keep it up without internet. :/ Hopefully I'll go back to my posting-everyday ways after tomorrow. Let's see.

3. Missing TV a lot. Gotta take a look at the schedules to see when my summer shows are back. Only My Boys has started so far. Speaking of which cliffhanger resolution spoilers for who haven't seen last week's premiere )

4. Still haven't been able to get my house completly organized. I'm getting so frustrated. Kinda want my mom.

Just woke up for the first time in my new appartment. Weird, huh?

Hey, I have an appartment now! Anyone wanna visit me? ;)

I still have a huge list of stuff to buy, but that's okay. I'll get to it tomorrow.

The results are out and I'm in! Yay me!

Uh... Okay, the results for USP's special students selection were out today, and I was among the few that got selected to attend classes. Well, I don't really know how to explain it, but I'm happy I'm in. Even if I don't know if I actually *want* to get a masters, at least now I bought myself six months in São Paulo to try and find a job, which is what I wanted in the first place, so, yeah, good.

last days in spain

turnin' up: some random song playing in the hostel bar

In Valencia, 48 hours away from home. It feels weird. My suitcases are already at the airport (left-luggage, of course). I broke, like, every single one of my nails to do that, but I survived. I weighted them and... well, I got 29kg in the small one and 32 in the big one. That explains why getting them both plus a small carry-on suitcase (12kgs) to the airport was such a pain in the ass.

So in one day (or rather half a day, considering I sort of slept until noon) I've seen pretty much all of Valencia BY FOOT. I love how you can do that in European cities. Don't try that in Brazil, though. It's almost impossible. Wondering what to do tomorrow. I haven't hit the beach yet, so I guess I'll do that when I wake up, and I'll see if there is some sort of spend-a-couple-hours-in-Ibiza-and-come-back boat there. If there is, great. Otherwise... I don't know. [ETA: Aparently, it takes over three hours to get to Ibiza by boat, so I'm doubting I'll get to do it.] If it's still early I can try going to Alicante, but that's 2 and a half hours away from here, so it would mean I'd spend 9 hours in a bus tomorrow. Not so great. It just sucks that I can't leave earlier to Madrid because my friend will only get home at 10pm, and since I'm sleeping at her house... it's kinda problem. LOL.

turnin' up: ...you go ahead let your hair down...

I finally finished packing. Well, as much as I can, anyway. I'll still have to relocate a couple of things Monday, since the little suitcase I'm taking to Valencia with me is actually the one that's gonna be my handbag, so... yeah. But my biggest suitcase is not completly full, so I don't think I'm gonna have a problem. Gotta weight them, though. Hope I'm ok.

So today, before packing, I got my tickets to go to Madrid and Valencia, and before I went to the Post Office to send myself some stuff. LOL. Three bottles of diferent alcoholic drinks from here. I didn't really want to put them in my suitcases in case they broke... or, you know, went over weight or something. And, yes, I know it's legal to take them in your suitcase, but I was still a little aprehensive as well, so it's easier just to send them. Just can't let grandma see it. LOL.

Before that I had my oral exam, which was okay. I mean, I think I did fine, but I was looking for some sort of discussion and there was none. I basicaly spent half an hour talking with my teacher and the whole class just sort of watched. Oh well. And before that I had my written exam, which also was good, but not great. But my teacher said I only got silly stuff wrong, and she decided to give me a sobresaliente in my diploma, which is like the best grade they have, so that was nice. :)

So, yeah, that was my day in a backwards order.

turnin' up: ...over the rainbow so high...

Just booked my last hostel. *deep breath* As tired as I am, I'm gonna miss this. So, yeah, going to Valencia for two days. If I can find a boat trip to Ibiza, great. Otherwise I'm dropping by Alicante. It doesn't seem like Valencia has all that much stuff for me to do.

******

Tomorrow is my last day of classes. Having a written test and then a little oral exame I didn't really prepare. I decided to talk about "remakes" or something like that, and I got a few examples lined up, but I'm not 100% sure what exactly I'm gonna say or where I wanna go with that. But somehow I don't think it matters much anyway.
