I walked to school today, in the heat that comes with the morning.
All we did today for class was watch a movie. We set ourselves up in the room with a sofa and pillows and the three of us, Isabel, Cate (this is actually how it is spelt) and I, sat down to watch Pan's Labyrinth. Cate had seen it before and had told us that it was a scary movie, but it wasn't really, even though her and Isabel were cowering behind their cushions at times, it wasn't scary for them either. The ending of the movie really wasn't how I wanted it to be...
After this movie, we had our graduation. There was a total of 5 of us graduating today, the three of us from my class and two others. We received a certificate and had to say a few little words... in Spanish. I then thanked all my teachers, especially Nuria, and said goodbye to the friends I had made. I don't think I was as sad as I thought I would be. Somehow I feel like one day I will see the people I have meet again, I don't know why, I just feel as though we will. Even Erica told me that one day I should come back.
Then I walked out of the school gates for the final time.
I had earlier received a phone call from Melania, and she said she was able to come pick me up in a few minutes, I also thought she said Jose was with her too. Then as soon as the phone call was over, I received a text from Jose asking me to walk home. So, I just thought there had been a sudden change of plans and no longer could Melania pick me up. So I set off walking home.
I then texted Melania as I was going, making sure I was supposed to be walking, to which she responded, no I can pick you up still, there is just a lot of traffic.
I was so confused. I just told her not to worry and continued home.
I got home, after waiting like 10 minutes outside the front gates waiting for someone to open them for me, to find Jose at home. During my walk I figured that Jose must not have actually been with Melania, but it was all just a bit confusing, and something to laugh about.
I skipped lunch today, since only 30 minutes ago, I was having a heap of fruit that comes with our graduation.
This evening, Jose was hosting a little Christmas party with some of his friends at the indoor/outdoor ranch style bar/portico at the neighbours house (his godmother's). I helped set up the place, making the hard decisions as to what tablecloths should be used etc.
People started arriving at 7pm and there was a Wii set up to play 'Just Dance' and dancing game. Naty and Ernesto were there at the beginning and we played a few games together before they had to leave.
There ended up being about 10 of us, and we had good music, good food and a good night. The best thing I ate was these little biscuits that Jose's friend Pamela made that had little candy Christmas figures on top of them. During the night I had fun trying to explain New Zealand slang and the idiosyncratic phrases we use such as, my favourite, 'Yeah, nah' :)
I headed off to bed at about 1:30am, and left Jose and his friends at it.
Suffice to say, I was very tired.
