since i've been home ive basically been doing tons of laundry.  i still have a whole bunch of summer homework crap to do, which reminds me, Katrina...can i make a photocopy of the history hw worksheets because i can't find mine ever since my room got thoroughly cleaned by my mother. 

anyways, i did like 5 different loads of laundry because i had to wash them at different gentlenesses and colors and stuff...it pretty much sucked.  folding them wasnt as bad because i got a whole bunch of new songs from heather (about 10 cds) in addition to the 3 ben folds albums that i downloaded yesteryday.  its fun.  i love new music.  and also a friend told me that he would burn me some cake and random stuff which makes me happy too. i've been having a really nice summer.

my room is orange which makes me happy.  its actually more of a peachy color but more peachy orange than like a pink. its bright and happy.  and when my parents cleaned/painted/and redid my room, they decided to put the coolest thing in.  its a ceiling fan with a light in it that is controlled by this spiffy remote control.  so i can even be more lazy than i am now.

i want to get tickets to see broadways the lion king....ellen, i hope youre still on....and hopefully other people will want to come too.  anyways, i took like 500 pictures in spain and kristin said that she would give me hers too so ill have a TON.  here are just random pictures to give a "spain in nutshell" type thing. so,

So this is our group. i'm next to kristin and brooke and melissa is doing a precious face in front of me. we are at the airport and we are all very excited for espana!

kristin me melissa and catriona......at the airport in GERMANY!....these hats were way cool but we didnt have any euros yet.  we are definetely sexy here

mel me - the botanical gardens in the train station in madrid....to have gardens in a metro is definetely very cool.

this one reminds me of peter pan and his shadow.....except its me and kristin

random man in madrid trying to get money for what he was doing.  it was quite amusing and interesting and he put a lot of effort into his costume.  he definetely was one of my favorite people.  i think he might be like a blast from the past kind of guy.....i'm not quite sure

So one night we went to go see a Flamenco show which was pretty much amazing.  They have a lot of muscle in their legs to have the capability to dance like that.  there was some weird korean woman sitting next to me though that had to videotape the show in every angle....other than that, SANGRIA

the doors were a little too small for me....and espcially for kristin

somebody completely carved this in the two week period we were in salamanca.  tocame means touch me.  this man was super talented and he was disabled (im pretty sure) because his hands didnt function correctly.  its amazing what he did though.  everyday on my way to anything i passed it

Elise DON QUIJOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   and me

melissa rachel me and jessica in sevilla in front of the salamanca mural type thing.  we <3 salamanca

we saw pretty much one of the best movies ever in spain.  semen, a history of love.  its wonderful.  you should read the summary.
Summary:
In this bitter-sweet comedy, chance plays a crucial role in the lives of all the characters, Serafin (Ernesto Alterio), a very rational biologist, Ariadna (Leticia Dolera), an artist of the flying-trapeze who thinks magic and passion rule the world, and Serafin's eccentric father (Héctor Alterio) who shares the falts with his son.

The film starts by showing images of Serafin's childhood in the 70's, presenting this period as that of the death of beautiful ideals and pure love, defeated by private interests. Then, a clever ellipsis brings us directly into the present. Serafin is now all grown-up and works as an expert in artificial insemination. He is quite meticulous, for his job is all about studying microscopic elements the good quality of which depends on how fast they are: spermatozoids. There are all kinds of them: some are fast, others lazy, or maybe just tired...
It all starts when Serafin meets Ariadna, a patient at the hospital where he works, and falls madly in love with her. She is trying to get inseminated but the treatment fails and the poor girl is sad and lonely and afraid of trying it again, for lack of money. Serafin promises to find her the best sperm ever. After many days spent analysing much raw material, he finally finds 'the perfect come' but the vial breaks and the precious substance spills. As a hero of the microscopic universe, Serafin is willing to sacrifice and donate his own sperm to help his princess. Eventually, he manages to conquer Ariadna's love, although the trapeze artist is not only suspended between the sky and the earth but also between love and her work.

i kind of wish i had an apartment that was this pretty....

Yo. La Alberca con un cerdito...el animal favorito de melissa

and last but not least.....MELISSA! i pretty much LOVE this picture of  melissa.  she looks very mysterious.....with a kind of a "look at me im very sexy" face on...... haha <3 <3 <3 it's definetely the best picture to end on. 
THE END to AMY'S SPAIN TRIP!
