Day 51-"Se alquila sofá cama"

Today we had class and then stayed to book our hotel in Rome!! It was like the cheapest one I could find that seemed to have a somewhat decent location, but I don't know how good it will actually be, but it should hopefully be okay for us.  Then I went home and had lunch (pasta and fish) with the boys.  We ate so much, and they were rather shocked I could finish it: clearly they have not known me very long.  I am loving having them there with me because it just gives me more people to talk to, to have some translation, and to practice my Spanish, or have an English break.  It's nice to just have more people in the conversation too and have people closer to my age with me.  So it's been a nice unexpected change for a little.  Afterwards, I decided to go shopping again.  I searched all over for a pair of shoes I really want but had no luck.  Then I was going to go to the women's bible study at 6:30, but when I got there, the door was locked and no one would answer.  So that stunk but hopefully I can go next time.  Clearly, I decided to shop a little more.  I am doing pretty good with not spending too much either!  Then I went back home for dinner, and I think we were all pretty grossed out when we got these huge PINK hot dogs--these were not the color of a normal hot dog.  I don't even like hot dogs in the States, so this was a big stretch.  I tried to eat a little, but could not do very much, but we got a good laugh out of it.  Afterwards, I got free tickets to go to the theater, which was on my bucket list, but my intercambio and friend could not go, so I just ended up meeting Alice and her intercambio there.   

 The play was called "Se alquila sofá cama" and was about these two guys who lived together who were very eccentric.  It was pretty hard to understand because they talked so fast, but it was funny, and I could piece some things together.  It was just cool to be able to go to a Spanish play too!  Then I got home around 12 and the boys wanted to talk since they didn't go to the play with me.  We watched some of their youtube videos, like Benni's which were so good, and Zouhir playing football.  Then they showed me some others they thought were funny and we just talked and hung out.  Benni wanted to go to sleep so Zouhir just talked and looked at some more in my room, and then my señora kind of stumbled into my room to say she had to go to the bathroom and was coming to say hi...haha...We made some plans to hang out Sunday and then went to get ready for bed.  I saw that I had a message from Heather saying we needed to talk soon and it was urgent.  We had just talked two days before, so all of a sudden, I thought something bad had happened, but then at 3:30 we got to talk and found out her and Corbin got ENGAGED!!!!!  What a rush of emotions at 3:30 in the morning!  I was SOOO excited!!!!!  So it was quite the day! :)
