Omg art !!!

Today I did absolutely nothing all morning and it was wonderful. Then after lunch I took a shower, cleaned my room and did some laundry, and then got inspired to make some art. 
It's a watermelon! I realized I have pink eyeliner & mascara and two shades of green eyeliner & mascara! Then I edited it so it was red (if I ever find red eyeliner, I will buy it & do this again :p)
So that was fun:)

Then I decided to doodle some stuff but none of it really came out good except this octopus kind of. 
So yay for art! I'm so glad we have another week of spring break. I don't think anyone's ready for school stress yet. 

Oh! And there was a giant thunderstorm this evening and I'm falling asleep now listening to rain against my window. It makes me so happy. :)

Spain Day 3!

Today we got up early and spent two hours on the bus driving to Córdoba. Literally all we could see in every direction the whole time we were driving were olive trees. Miles and miles and miles of olives... Did you know most of the fancy Italian olive oil is actually produced from olives from Spain? How random..
Anyways, in Córdoba we stopped right by an old Roman bridge, which we got to walk across later.
Then we visited the mosque-cathedral of Córdoba, which is basically an absolutely ginormous mosque with a cathedral right in the middle.
The history behind it is a bit complicated... It was first a Catholic Church which was then torn down and replaced with a mosque, which was then gradually expanded until Córdoba was under Catholic rule again, when a cathedral was (in my opinion rather randomly) built smack in the middle of the mosque. It is literally too big for words. 

This is the cathedral in the middle- facing forward
And backward! (Black is all mahogany wood from South America, and there are two giant organs on either side built into the walls that didn't fit into the picture)
After visiting the mosque we wandered through the city, which was a mishmash of tiny streets and crooked, winding, bright alleys. It's almost like Rome:)

We drove two hours back to Granada, ate dinner, and are going to bed soon. I can't wait for tomorrow, we're visiting the Alhambra!

Spain Day 1!

Today we almost missed our train to the airport.. It was a tad stressful. But woot we ended up making it, and then flew two hours to Spain:) I love airplanes & flying. So that was fun. 
We got off the plane and got on a bus to go wander around the city of Málaga, which is right next to the beach. It was nice & warm & reminded me of Florida somehow. Then we got back on the bus & drove two hours to Granada to our hotel. It is so gorgeous here, I'm so excited for the best week!

Everyone has the plague

Today we had regular school but 6 people were gone sick. That's a bit more than a third of our class, which was weird. But it was a nice day anyways, and after school I took pictures with these adorable Easter egg candles that my grandma has and did homework. Everyone already has spring break! Ours doesn't start for another three weeks...

Mooooondayyyyyyyy!

Happy Monday! Today was fun. I forgot how awesome the people in my class are. I think this is going to be a good week.

I remembered something important at school that I wanted to put in here, but I just forgot it. Whoops. 

Oh yeah! My grandma made plans for me and my grandparents & aunt & uncle & cousins to go to Spain for spring break! I'm so excited! It's going to be awesome.
