Gettin stuff done

Bueno, it's Monday, time to be productive again! But not in the scholastic sense, since we don't have class at all this week. ;D I leave for France Weds morning so had to accomplish some things today.

Primero, I got a new cellphone. I lost my first one dancing womp womp womp. Upon returning home, I realized that the menus were messed up. For example, when I clicked "Change date," the response was various profile selections en vez de date/time options. I showed it to my madre, who didn't know what to do about it, then my padre who thought he would solve it but also didn't. They said to ask my hermano, but it seemed an error that could only be fixed by the store, and since there was no line before I returned. Seriously, the minute I walked in the door and looked down at the screen EVERYTHING WAS FINE. Arghhh!!! Thus I looked like an idiot when I told them woman it hadn't worked, bc due to my less-than native Spanish abilities, she thought I just didn't know how to change the date. Yes I know how to reset the date! But the buttons didn't work that way before! Anyways, when I returned home and told my padres, they had a good laugh. They know I'm not tonta jajaja. It was magic. Qué clase de brujería es! What kind of witchcraft is this!

Oh and the other thing I did (fascinating really) was scanning a document at a local librería. It was quite an accomplishment--well, not really because my host hermano was kind enough to accompany me...and do the talking. Jejeje just another thing crossed off my to-do list. The rest of today's schedule includes going to the mall (my friend wants to get someone nail polish as a gift. I mean...when I think of Spanish souvenirs, nail polish is probably the 3rd thing that comes to mind) and researching Federico García Lorca. Olé!

Today's weather: Rainy, but nothing overwhelming. Just enough to be content with mis botas de agua, rainboots!
