Over the past weekend I had 4 of my school friends over to make chocolate cookies and watch a movie at my house here. It was really great. One of the first times I've actually felt like I have a solid group of friends. Now I feel like I can say they are my best friends here, and I like them a lot. We started the day messing around on my pretty little laptop, I was showing them some photos, and thought it would be neat to take some with the photobooth program, and we ended up playing with that program for like 40 minutes. After that we watched a little of a concert and then started with the cooking. They had never eaten chocolate chip cookies before. Never seen them before....Chocolate chips dont even exist here, so I bought a couple chocolate bars and cut them up.
So, we made the cookies, and they turned out good...not the best cookies I've ever made, but they thought it was awesome. The problem was that i couldn't find brown sugar here, I later discovered that it does exist here... but I just used regular sugar for the cookies, so they were just a little bland or something. But my friends have not stopped raving about them.
After we made the cookies, I made some iced coffee, a friend of mine brought a pizza, and then we watched the movie and ate. haha. sounds gross, but it was really neat. after the movie we just stayed talking. I can understand almost everything now. I can converse, participate in the conversations. Its really good.
So that was really neat. To have my first little friend thing here. I'm liking here more all the time. Getting more accustomed all the time.
I have the pictures from the day up on the photo website. take a look! :D

I don't remember you ever being so excited about pizza before. You look like you're having a blast and that's all I care about. Enjoy yourself sweatheart and learn, learn, learn (and then run, run, run after that pizza and cookies)!
