Woohoo! A productive day at last.

My morning began at about 9 as I woke up and prepared for spending 10-12 at the Humane Society, getting mentored in their dog-walking program. There were so many sweethearts and I'll definitely have one more thing to look forward on Sundays. After, I went to brunch at my grandparent's house, a tradition that's gone on decades before I even existed. It's typically filled with egyptian eggs and humorous, intelligent discussions. We bordered on the silly side today as my grandma laughed for nearly 5 minutes when my mom asked if the ant traps we'd been given were expired or not. My mom didn't comprehend our humor and kept on reading the package as my grandma and I had nearly capsized, laughing about how ridiculous the idea of worrying about giving ants something spoiled is.

Driving back to my house after brunch, we came across a stray dog who thankfully had a collar. A few phone calls and a short wait later, and "Bentley" was back in loving arms. My deed to society was fulfilled for the day.

As far as Spanish progress: I've only had time to translate a few documents on Duo Lingo, but at least they've been entertaining.

After dinner I had plans with my 2 girl friends and guy friend to see "Ted," mostly due to the interest of
the guy. We all are 17 except for the boy, and despite our suggestions to buy a ticket online, he took the risky route and ultimately ended up not seeing the movie. The most surprising aspect of the night however was how funny the movie actually ended up being. I expected the watered down primetime TV humor typical of the Land of the Free but walked out adequately amused and entertained. The plot is nothing new, but the jokes are just plain fun.

Overall today was pleasant and I'm looking forward to a decent amount of plans throughout the week.
