Ok... let's see.... now that I've wasted what little time I had today (writing emails!!) I will proceed to use the 20 mins I have left to check in real quick.

Family: WOOHOOOO!!! Baby baby baby baby… what can I say? Life is great. Life is beautiful. Let us be merry and be glad in it. Hehe…
Hm… Grandma did get my messages! She is doing well. Grandpa is doing well too. Just his eyes. He’s gonna have to have surgery, again, soon.

School: AAAAGHHHH!!! It will kill me this time!!! *sniff* Darn thing will finally beat me! : P It’s the second week into the semester and I am already on the verge of a nervous attack.
Yesterday, Mom called and asked how I was doing. Intenté sonreír y le dije: “Bueno, pues ya terminé.” Su respuesta fué, “Ay, flaca, más bien terminó contigo.”
I tried to smile and said, “Well, I’m done with school [for the day, which is implied in the verb we use in Spanish].” Her response was “Awe, sweetie, I think it is done with you [it’s finished you]” I do wonder what it was in my voice that made her say that… well, no, actually. Don’t want to know. Hehe… ahem… ok. Typing that somehow helped.
Jeje… but no, School WILL NOT beat me. I will keep my GPA up : ) ! OH!! And some grad schools have actually (finally!) sent emails about having received application packages. Yaay! Man.. such a slow process… it’s taken forever to get all of that stuff in. and it feels great to get some news : )

Minino: 1234…5678… [hold! and.. 123..]El Minino está muy bien, gracias a Dios. I’ve come to the conclusion that he has the most amazing hands in the world. He’s doing pretty well. He’s very happy he got his funding and a TA position. And I'd say classes are treating him well so far. We went to an international dinner the other day, and I realized he might actually know more international students than me! Half his econ class was there and only two or three of my friends went that night. It was fun. He's invited me to his sister’s wedding this summer. More fun stuff : )

Reading: eh… hehe. Not reading. Well, if Chaucer or Volpone or Cabeza de Vaca count, then gosh… I’ve been reading. Very strange characters… all three of them. Lol… I wonder what future generations will think of us!
