Today was a pretty normal day. Well my alarm didn't go off this morning so I overslept, but since I had planned to leave earlier to stop at the bookstore it was alright. My knee hurt all day though, right now is pretty swollen and I can't do much without it bothering me, I guess it's because of the extra-weight added to the extra activity but it still sucks. I hope to get better soon 'cause otherwise I know my dad will make me go to the doctor and I hate doctors. Besides I know that they're going to tell me that I need to lose weight and that I need to exercise more, and I really don't want to hear that again, I know that.
It was really cool that my sister called me today, and she put my niece on the phone and she was like "Isabella say titi" (that's what she says for aunt, which is tia in Spanish) and Isabella would say "titi" and she also imitated a dog, but then all of the sudden you hear my sister "hey! stop eating that, that's mine!", that just made me laugh. Then they put her on the web cam and she throws kisses, and she shows you where her eyes are and puts one finger up when you ask her how old she is. She also dances like crazy, every type of music she hears even if it's from a commercial on tv, she'll dance, it's so unbelievably cute, she's going to give my brother quite the few gray hairs.
Nothing much on the Australian Open today as most of my favorites played yesterday. Roger and Juan Carlos won, but Marat lost. It sucked really, it was an extremely long match, but the good part is that I got to see a couple of hours of Marat goodness, I mean tennis-wise of course (no I don't). It bothers me that they didn't show Roger's match, I mean he was playing Santoro who is one of the most entertaining players out there and by the bits I've seen you can tell that it was a match full of amazing points and they decide to show Blake's match instead. I understand they give privileges to American players, but come on, if it's a boring match and you have the number one player in the world in a very well-played match, wouldn't it make more sense to show that? But whatever I guess here we don't do the more logical things.
Linkin Park went back to touring yesterday and they played Valentine's day for the first time. I've been wanting to hear that song live from a long time and even though the videos are obviously less-than-good quality I enjoyed it. They also went back to playing A place for my head and My December, which are 2 amazing songs. Now I'm really excited to see what set list they do when they come to Nashville. I've been thinking about what would be my must-be-played songs but to be honest I'll love any set-list they play, saying anything else would be lying.
One thing did drive crazy today though, my history teacher. He is nice and all but he tends to go in tangents and sometimes it's hard to understand what he's saying. He also tries to say things that he thinks are funny but that no one really gets and so he laughs by himself and it's sort of awkward. Today we got saved by a fire-drill, I forgot they do those during the first week of class. Last semester I had like one in every single one of my classes, very annoying as they don't stop until everyone is out of the building and a lot of people ignore it because it's just a drill, but today I was happy to hear the stupid alarm.
Memphis is getting like really cold. Today you could see your breath walking around and it's about to get worse during the weekend. I'm terrible with winter clothes because I'm from a much warmer climate. We either have rain or we don't, that's it all year. So as you can imagine my winter clothing is very limited, a couple of sweaters not many jackets. And really here you can't dress that warm because the heat inside the buildings is insanely high, so you feel like you just walked into an oven. I try to dress by layers but I like being comfortable so sometimes that really bothers me.
All in all, I'm happy the weekend is almost here.
