Yesterday morning right now I cant even remember what happened. Mom came home from  the village pretty early and she came over. She brought with her some of Theia Pat's yummy pita. We sat just the two of us because Joanna had gone shopping again. When Joanna came home, we just sat some more. It was a very lazy morning. We wasted a beautiful day. Something weird happened though. I was packing my box and all of a sudden my legs got very itchy. I started jumping up and own. I lifted up my pants to see what it was an my thighs were bright red and puffy and burning. We put on some of Joanna's allergy cream and the itching stopped. I had packed my Benadryl so Joanna tried to find a pharmacy but had no luck. Luckily it passed on its own but I have no clue what it was from. Anyway. Barbara got back at around 5 after having left at 9 from the village. She said hat they kept stopping every hour for thinks like grapefruit. I forgot to mention that the bus I can home on even had a tv screen that they played a movie on. Babs and mom started fighting as usual. We got Bab's things ready and then we started getting ready because it was her birthday. First we went by Vicky's house. We sat there until Vicky got ready. Then we went to Gus to eat kabobs. I met some Americans from Michigan. I had to help them order. It was funny because they were asking about clubs and totally hinting for us to invite them with us. After dinner, we went to 222. Slowly everyone started ocming. We had a few drinks and cut a cake. I told Vicky to get a cake but she couldn't since we were going together so she called Alex but she had no ay of getting one so she called Angla. Personally, it made me sick. From there, we all went to Diplo. We danced and had fun. John at one point was not feeling too good and actually fainted. It was scary. We left at 4:30 and a bunch of us came home. We got some things ready and headed to the airport. It was actually not the saddest goodbye. At the club I was really sad because I felt like she was leaving and that I would be stuck here miserable again. We came home and slept for the night at 8am. I woke up at about 1 today. Mom came over with food and practically force fed me. Then the rest of the day was kind of boring. I sat and read about Alexander the Great. Mom slept for hours. When she woke up we had coffee together. Then Patty called and told me to go by her grandmother's to studay. We actually got no studying done. I really love that girl. I met her grandpa too and he is adorbale. Now I am home. Joanna just got back. She had gone to the goodbye party at the school. I have some studying to do now so I am going to stop writing.
