First up today was school. Louis and Nathalie were back from their travels, and we were all in the same class today. Since they had been away the last two days, they were quite confused by what we were doing, as Nuria believed that we didn't have time, and it wasn't fair on me to go back and go over the stuff that I had learnt while they were away. Today was the final day at school for both Nathalie and Louis, and as a result, at 12pm, there was a graduation ceremony for them and a few others who were graduating too. Everyone who was graduating had to stand up and say a few words... in Spanish, and it was quite funny to listen to as even though they could say more by now, Louis and Nathalie, both resorted to week 1 type stuff of "Thank you for everything, I liked the school a lot".
After class, while Nathalie was getting some photos off my camera, I walked to Louis' home which was only 3 minutes around the corner, as he had to grab some thank you cards. When we arrived at his place, the garage was filled with Christmas trees; someone's little business. It was quite interesting to go inside another person's house just to see the differences in lifestyle. This house had two storeys and was one that was right on the street front. Again, no carpet anywhere.
We returned to school and I said my farewells to Nathalie and Louis before heading home.
Shortly after I got home, Melania arrived with Laura, today was Melania's birthday, and I had not finished her card yet. I tried to hide in my room to finish it off, but, the grandparents came round to sing happy birthday and have some cake, so I had to do that too. Jose told me that I could just give my present to her at night cause we were going out to a sushi restaurant for dinner.
A little later, Melania left, and Jose helped me make a card. It turned out looking really cool.
I then went with Guisella to drop Jose off at university. Before we did that, we had to go into town for Jose to organize something to be printed, and I had a quick search for an external hard drive that was less than 500gb, and hence cheaper. I had no luck. But I will need to find something soon, because I am running out of space quickly on my SD card.When we were parking in town it was quite funny at Guisella managed to hit the curb, and as she did that a few bad words came spilling out of her mouth.
We got home just after 6pm, and I just watched some YouTube videos to chill out. We left for the restaurant at 8pm and picked up Jose on the way. Eight of us were there for the birthday dinner, and we enjoyed a platter of sushi, which took ages to arrive. Guisella, Jose, and Melania's boyfriend had some good fun trying to work the chopsticks before they got given ones that were bound together.
At one point there were fireworks outside in the distance. And Jorge being the joker that he is, said that they were specifically for Melania's birthday. Melania liked her present from me, and especially liked the card.
We arrived home at about 10:30pm. What a nice day of celebrations it was.
