y'a un, part deux

News in my life:

1. Sergio has certainly dolled up the bathroom. We've gone from my and Pablo's bare establishment to a space complete with air freshener/nightlight, mat, and two-tiered organizer - AND, he got a mug to put our toothbrushes and toothpaste in! How - lovely. :)

2. Another about Sergio - he got waxed up... and good. I got my legs waxed for the first time in my life less than a month ago - just did the calves, and MOTHER FUCKER did that hurt! Way more than I was expecting. Well, Sergio waltzes in one day and is like "Hey Laura, check it out, I got done today!" He lifts up his shirt and shows me his bare stomach and chest. I'm like ok, that must have hurt... is that all you got done?

Oh, no it wasn't. He also gets his entire legs WITH bikini wax done, along with back, armpits, and - you guessed it - arms. HOLY SHIT! Your whole frickin' BODY?!

I am NEVER doing that. Not that I have to do chest and back, and who does their arms, but still. I WOULD never do that.

3. I finally sent in my application to that school in California - Masters, translation & interpretation. I feel like it's utter crap; not getting my hopes up for it. Still, it would suck not to get it. Just be like stamping FAILURE across my forehead. So I'll keep y'all posted.

4. Upcoming weekend is a long one here - I'm supposed to see both Haruka and Jocelyne, and I think we're going to be in Barcelona, but details are still sketchy. In any case, I'm getting from Friday until Tuesday off - SWEET!

5. Christmas is getting close! This is what's happening for me: I'm flying out of Barcelona into LaGuardia on the 21st, staying over a night, flying up to Toronto on the 22nd, hanging out there until the 25th, then going with Ev to Connecticut, and leaving on the 31st back to Barcelona (sigh). A whirlwind tour of North America. I'm freaking excited about (maybe) going to see the Sound of Music before it ends its run. Also, I miss the TTC. Also, I have been really missing the sushi, but that's kind of abated right now because of the AWESOME homemade sushi I had at Aina's tonight. YAYYYYYYY SUSHIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No more news for now, over and out,
