Mishaps in Spain no.16

Wow, what a night! And it´s only begun. Jamil, a moroccan kid just went to the hospital because apparently Roberto shoved him and so Jamil got mad and punched the glass door which shattered and cut him all the way up his arm. I heard the shatter just as I was finishing my orange. I didn´t go out immediately because I thought that someone had just busted a plate or something. Anyway, I been pluggin´ away at school. I do believe my Spanish is getting better.

My rrommate Hernan moved out a couple days ago, so I am living by myself. It is kind of lonely, but I thinkit may be worth it because I have a lot more room to put all my junk. He moved because, this is what he said, that Eric and his roommate Sebastian weren´t getting along, so Sebastian was going to move out to live with his brother and Hernan was going to move in with Eric. So, I am left with a ton of space that I don´t know what to do with.

I have been slowly accumulating bits of food so that now I have a little kitchen constructed out on my balcony. I found a little dilapidated table in a dumpster. (I was in the dumpster in the first place because I saw a dead motorcylce in there.)

The highlight of this week was that I got a big box from Christina full of homemade granola bars and a Taco Bell kit. I am now everybodies best friend, so I think I will keep the Taco Bell kit until I just can´t resist anymore. I am just amazed at how fast this quarter is going by! We were scheduled to go on another tour to Castilla this sunday, but it was canceled until next sunday. I am not sure which Castilla they are talking about; there is Castilla la Mancha and Castilla León. Everybody thinks though that it is Castilla la Mancha, so that is probably what it is.

Brett and I haven´t started our skateboarding yet. I had to cancel the order because it wasn´t working. they didn´t have paypal and they wanted me to tranfer money directly into their bank account. They gave their account number, but my bank won´t tranfer the funds. Oh well, we´re going to try another route.

Some of the biggest news right now is that there is a thief across the hall from me. He seems to have something for stealing things directly from me. I am pretty sure that he is a cleptomaniac, because he doesn´t seem to have any prick of conscience. He will steal whatever he wants. About a week ago he stole one euro form me. The other day I found my battery charger in his room with the little plug adapter. I hadn´t even missed the charger yet, but I had missed the adaptor. He told me he found it in the hall. Its really to bad that he had already fed his roommate another story, because that just proved he was lying. Other things have gone missing, but I haven´t been able to prove anything else yet. You may ask why I don´t lock my door. Well, I do. He stole stuff while I was in the room. Before I found out that he was a thief he would come in all the time. I thought he was just bored and was looking for something to do. Anyway, the worst fall came today. I had a really early class today; in my hurry leaving for class I didn´t not latch the door well apparently because when I came back from classes at about 11:30 my door was open. Fortunate for Fernando, he had already left for his house for the weekend. I didn´t think that anything was missing until Brett came in to get his twenty euros that that he had given me for the skateboard. Brett looked in my wallet and told me there wasn´t any money. I thought he was joking, but I looked. Not a cent. I had at least fifty euros in there. It was all gone. I was pretty mad. I told Paco Pepe who called his dad. I don´t know what happened yet, but I am going to get my money back I´m sure. I´ll make sure of that. When I had confronted Fernando about the euro that he had taken from me before he said that he would give it back to me. He never did though. I told him if he didn´t I would have to tell Paco. I guess that´s what he wanted then.  I don´t really want to accuse him of taking my money though, ´cause even though I´m sure it was him, I have nothing to prove that it actually was him, except that he has stolen from me before. He stole Angela´s ipod thought before and she got  that back.

Anyway, I´m hoping I´ll be able to deal with the whole thing in a Christlike manner when Fernando returns on sunday.

Happy Sabbath to all. And to all a good night. ¡Bona nit! (catalán)Wink

Sorry to hear about the thief...at least he didn't take your taco bell kit -- or did he?  Have you checked yet?  You might not get that back. :(

I'll pray that you will be Christlike in you approach to Fernando.
