Thanksgiving! :)



Hey!

So as I promised, I am here to write!! hahaha :D

So on Thursday was THANKSGIVING! (aka. the turkey day! haha xD). We had guests for dinner (4 people). We had deviled eggs, Sweet Potatoes, Mash potatoes (my favorites), gravy (is the sauce from the turkey), stuffing (is the mix that you cook inside the turkey, with dried bread, (in my case) sausage, celery..), homemade cranberry sauce, comercial cranberry sauce, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, salad and TURKEY!!!

The turkey was really amazing, it had a beautiful color! I think it was around 12-14 lb (6 kg). The turkey was in the oven for around 4 hours.. haha xD

I made (with my host mom instructions) the sweet potatoes, mash potatoes, pecan pie and deviled eggs. And then I helped with the stuffing, pumpkin pie and the Turkey :)


It was great, but actually is like a big dinner... nothing else... I mean, in the beggining we said thank you and hold our hands, but that was the only special thing.
But It's not a criticism, I really loved it!!

There's not too much more to say, so I'm gonna post a few pictures for you to see how was my dinner! :D
Hope you enjoy them! :D

My suitcases



Hey!! :D
I wrote the last night and I was talking about how to start with my luggage.. So, here you have a pic! I did it... Was so quick...


I send an email to my host family in San Francisco asking them about what clothes I should take. And they said this:

For clothes, you'll want to bring things you can layer, like long sleeved and short sleeved shirts and sweaters. Bring a light and medium weight jacket, but don't bring a heavy coat unless you plan to travel to snowy places during the winter. You'll want to bring jeans, maybe slacks, skirts, and some shorts, but you won't be wanting to wear the shorts much in SF.



So, I think I have to remove some t-shirts of my suitcase.. The little suitcase is for my training in New York, and I think it is so empty! Hahaha... but better for me!
The big one is for my entire year in the U.S. I think I'm taking too much clothes, so I have to revise it... Because if I buy clothes and other stuff there, where am I going to put them? Hahahaha :)

Today I am better than yesterday... but I am still so sensitive. I am feeling so overwhelmed... I still have to finish my Pre-Departure Orientation Project.. and I'll be leaving Spain in only one week...


Moreover, my birthday is July 23rd and my flight July 25th... So I have a bday/goodbye party on Friday (with my family) and a bday/goodbye party on Saturday (with my friends)... I'll update pics! :)

Tomorrow I also have a BBQ with some friends... I'll update a photo too! :)


I hope you are enjoying my blog! :)


Love youuu <3

The beginning of the end

Hey!
Only 7 days... I am so excited...

Last night I was crying with my bestfriend. Why? I am going to miss her and my other friends so much.
I am sad when they are planning something for the next months.. but I understand it... I am gonna live my life in the U.S and they also have to live their.

Right now I am so sensible, I am crying... I want to cry for every silly thing. Really silly things... Listening songs, because of something that someone tell me, because I don't find something...


I am going to start packing. It's so difficult, I dont know how to start.. I dont know what to pack first... Maybe "winter" clothes? I dont want (shouldn't)pack too much things... There are people who told me that in the U.S all is cheaper but there are other people who told me that is more expensive... Anyways, I prefer to buy something there instead of pay for too much weight at the airport...


So.. let's see what happens! :)


Love youu! <3
