My letter to Spain
Dear Spain,
I love you to death. You have done wonders for me. I enjoy our nights of dancing til 7am, the delicious chocolates and goodies that I can buy in your pasteleria's, the fact that I have gorgeous 60 degree weather in mid-november, 2-hour lunches, the friends that I have made, and among many many many other things the way I feel since I have been here.
There seems to be just one slight problem that I'm having a bit of trouble dealing with. I CAN'T SLEEP EVER! I don't know how many more nights I can lie awake until 6am! I just can't do it.
So, my dear friend in hopes of salvaging this loving relationship that we have I beg you to fix this insomnia you have given me.
With all my love,
A very tired Yvonne :)

Sorry Sorry Sorry!
Hello guys!
I am so sorry that I have not updated at all lately! I have been super super busy! I had an exam yesterday so I spent the entire week closing down the library and studying until 5am! (Unfortunately I am not kidding about the 5am part, you can ask my parents they were the lucky recipients of my many late night skype calls.)
Although I must say, I don't know why I studied! The exam pretty much murdered me.
Anyways, what I can do now is tell you what I was up to BEFORE the exam madness started.
Last week there was a Colombian Party that we went to because we wanted to get free tickets to our favorite club Marengo! (which we did !)
On Thursday, I wasn't planning on going out because not really any people could and I wasn't sure if I was up for it. However on facebook I got a message saying I had been chosen to go on a list where I could get in for free to Marengo! My friend Dora also got it, so we decided why not? We went just the two of us. It was pretty fun!
On Friday we reunited the group to make a comeback sensation! It had been quite awhile since we had all had the chance to go out together! We hit the cocktails of the world party and danced and had a blast. Then we went to the Chupitos bar because we hadn't been there in awhile. Followed by: MARENGO! We went and had a blast dancing til 7 am. I must say dancing until 7 is probably one of the main things I will miss when I leave Spain!
On Saturday, I slept in. Then I went over to Nerea's because our friend Miya was coming over to teach us how to make dumplings! I now know how to make real Chinese dumplings! They were absolutely delicious!
Sunday was an easy day. I didn't do much. Just slept, watched tv, and relaxed. Then came Monday and that was when the study madness began!
Here are some random pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Because I hate studying:
So I of course am a procrastinator and therefore am waiting until the absolute last minute to study for my 2 exams tomorrow. Thus, I will spend a bit of time writing this blog post and lolly-gagging (sp?). I was thinking about how I only have 50 days left in Spain, which then led to things I can't wait to do when I come back. Here is the list: (no particular order)
*Movie Nights w/ the gals and lots of goodies
*Eastlake on a friday night
*Bowling
*Build a snowman in the quad
*Work- I know, this one surprises me too, but I miss it
*Make no-bake cookies and coconut brownies
*Have One Tree Hill marathons
*BAKE Christmas Cookies
*Shoe shopping with Nancy, Court, and Jade
*Karaoke @ Finn's / The Little Red Hen
*Eat a chicken quesadilla w/ xtra creamy jalapeno sauce at T-Bell
*Hug my family
*Walk through Red Square in the rain to watch everyone fall on their asses
*Watch New Moon 6 times in theatres :)
These are just a few random thoughts. Guess I should get back to studying. I just thought I would throw a few of these down.

Night of Mayhem: Spanish Style
This weekend was Halloween! We came up with such a good halloween idea: m&m's! I was yellow, Nerea was blue, Kamilla was purple, and Dora was red! It turned out really cute! Hehe. Here are some pics!
These are our mustache and beard thinking faces :)
In order to keep from messing up our m's, instead of doing the spanish kiss, we did the eskimo kiss.
Dora's butt said 'zexy', nerea and kamilla's said 'don't touch', and mine didn't say anything so they wrot 'eat me, i'm sweet' on it..
The back of our shirts are hard to read, but it says 'melts in your mouth not in your hands'- go m&m slogans!
Children at heart. This is characteristic of the m&m's :)
Apparently vampires like to suck the chocolate out of m&m's like they suck the blood from humans.
