My roommate's alarm went off at 7:45 this morning and I couldn't get back to sleep. Instead I just laid in bed thinking about how I had homework I could do or I could go ask about my passport photo...but I didn't, until about 9.
At 10 I went to have my photo taken for my residency card. We left for the consulate at 11 and we had to wait for each person to go in with their forms, passports, and photos. We were fingerprinted and everything. Only 20 of us went today, so it didn't take too long, but it's getting chilly in Valencia so we were all kinda cold...
I got back in time to finish some Spanish homework before I left for English. In class we traveled to the Fallas Museum. Fallas is a big festival in March celebrated in Valencia. Professional artists work to create large float/sculptures that will be burned March 19th. It started way back when families would throw out old furniture and burn it in the town center, "spring cleaning," and now it's become a monumental week for Valencians. We have to pick a winner from the past, the winners have a piece of their artwork saved from the fire and placed in the museum, and write about it.
After we got back I went back to take a super quick nap. I have been getting very little sleep and for a normal college student, that always happens, but I'm not normal. I'm too tired. Tomorrow I have my 9am, which requires me to get on a tram at 8:30, and I have to get food, and then I'm coming back here to sleep.
Anyways, I went to dinner at the #4 Gold Apartment (Dara, Brittany, and Jacqueline's). A group of 12 donated money and they made us dinner. We had pork chops, rice, vegetables, macaroni and cheese and brownies. It was spectacular. It's been quite awhile since I've had a "home cooked" meal, I mean, I haven't been home in a week. Even then, my meals are normally quick and less thought out.
