What happened in March

Given the busy-ness of this month, I am not surprised of how fast it went by. Back at home, March is busy as always. It's my mom's and my best friend's birthday. It's also the start of the summer season so the electricity bills start plummeting and a lot of resort-goers fill our streets and on the weekends are just impossible to get somewhere because of the traffic jams.

Here is a list of the highlights of my March!

1. My boyfriend started going on site twice a week

After months of being inseparable, my boyfriend now goes to the office twice a week. To be honest, I feel kind of bad because he's always a night-owl and going to the office in the morning means he needs to wake up early to catch the train. However, it looks like it's working well for him. I noticed he sleeps earlier than usual and he does get to work on time. Something I could never do.

With him gone for two days, I am the person of the house. I'm used to being alone, but something about an adult woman at home with your loved one away makes me feel more feminine. I clean the house while he's out, I do the laundry, play with the cat. I would also like to cook for him, but we both know that that's a task I should get away from.

2. I ended level 4 and now have started level 5 Spanish

When I saw the university's email about the class schedule, I did not hesitate to enrol! Since this was the only regular time I get to practise Spanish. I gained my confidence talking to people. I know this level is probably going to be more challenging than the previous one, and I'm up for it!

3. We played Catan and got addicted

We played it one night and ended up playing 3 rounds of it. Each round runs for about an hour and we stayed up till 2 am just playing, and my boyfriend always won. annoying.

We ended up installing a video game on our computers and played with bots on our free time!

4. I removed my helix piercing

Last January, I blogged about how I chose to inflict pain on myself as a birthday present. Now, I chose to keep my nose piercing but my helix piercing had to go. It has been infected and I was in pain for a few days. So one day, when I felt it more irritated than usual, I made the decision to remove it than attract a worse infection. Helix was not a good idea, and I probably won't have it in the future as well.

5. We finished the entire Harry Potter film series

This started as one of my boyfriend's random thought on a Sunday night then we decided to go through with it. It was a great experience, a magical one to be more precise! I don't regret pushing back and deciding to watch the entire series as an adult. I didn't get to enjoy it without a rational mind however, but I still enjoyed it! I can also say I'm better in English now than how I was years before when they came out, so this is the best time to watch it. Now, is always a best time I think.

6. We watched 15 films this month!

We topped the record for the last months and watched 15 films for March! Here is the list. My favourite from this list is the Philosopher's Stone. This is the only Harry Potter film I watched as a kid until now we decided to watch all of them. It's still as magical as I remember it and it is still the most magical Harry Potter film in my opinion. (The numbers on the left are the dates when I watched them.)

1 - Gangs of New York
8 - Horrible bosses 1 & 2
15 - Late-night with the devil, HP & the Philosopher's Stone
17 - HP & The Chamber of Secrets
18 - Prince of Azkhaban
20 - Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix
21 - Half-blood prince
23 - Deathly Hallows 1 & 2
26 - Relatos Salvajes
30 - District 9, Training Day

7. I worked out for 20 days

I picked up the plates hiding in a shelf in this house for probably 2 years now and it's fun to be doing strength training again. I like how slowly I do the exercises and how much my muscles burn when I do the exercises. I'm still not convinced to go the gym alone and I do like going crazy alone in our room, so I'm probably going to continue this way of living.

A quarter has ended! It's getting colder in the southern hemisphere and I'm excited for Easter!
