Updates Updates Updates

1. Joan and I got the Verizon issue taken care of yesterday. I was firm and really stressed to Verizon that I was not paying a cent after paying $300 in March for this to all be over with. So, Joan faxed them the proof that they needed (to show I really wasn't in America anymore) and all is done. I even managed to not have to pay the $15 in taxes they wanted me to pay. So, one bill gone completely gone. It's gonna be pre paid phones from here on out!

2.Spanish class was great today, I rocked my new Burberry camisetta I got from La Roca on Sunday and after, Courtney,Roderick and I went to Fresco and had a nice time there. I should be studying Spanish but here I am instead.

3.Joan is going to London tomorrow so I might play hookie and stay home. I love class and don't want to miss it but if I went I would have to wait two hours after class at the bus station and then take the bus home at 4, then walk home to an empty house and wait for Joan. Not sure if I'm up for all that.

I've started writing Velicia again, who knows maybe one day Joan and I will visit her. Maybe that would be a good thing.

All for now loves

Bad News Bearcats

Just recieved an email from my aunt, Verizon sent her a bill for $165.00. I do believe I paid off and cancelled my phone FIVE months ago! Why? Why do you do this to me Verizon?!

Also, my loan companies are starting to call to collect. I don't have a job and can't get one for another month at least AND I can't even start school because I don't have a job to pay off the school for them to send me my transcripts!

In other news, my Spanish class was crazy today. Everyone was in a joking mood and I ended up tallying up the amount of times our professor says, "vamos a ver". The total by 2:00 was 50. ay dios.

I'm at la biblioteca until 6 when Joan gets off work, he wants to go to Media Market and look around but I am completely exhausted and with this news of bills today, well, I'd rather just crawl into bed and stay there until tomorrow morning.

PodrĂ­a ser la turista



This news will not have reached the states as it is local but something very sad happened in Lloret today. A young girl who had been missing since July 1st was found in a field near my home. She was a 23 year old Italian girl who was last seen by her friends at 2:30 a.m. leaving a club.

Joan and I were driving down the usual road we take to go home when we saw the police tape and news cameras along the road. Immediately we knew it was this girl. We later checked the internet where we found this article. Now we are watching the story on the news. What is most disturbing to me is that Joan and I have driven past that field everyday since the day she was missing; and she was right there. How very sad. To be so excited to go on vacation with your friends....no one knows the exact story but police are investigating and now they have suspects in custody.

I reallyworry about the tourists here sometimes, girls going out with any guy they meet, bars mixing very strong alcohols(that they sometimes make themselves) and selling shots of these concoctions for 1 €, making it easy for men to slip drugs to girls drinks. I hope her killer is brought to justice.


Her friends and family will be in my prayers and I hope yours too.
