Entry n 9: Appreciate the ordinary

As every day Mary goes up at nine, she is nineteen-year-old young lady who does not have many luxuries in her life and does not wish more than she already has, she has leart to love her life just as simple as it is and she is really happy in her ordinay world.
Above all she loves her family more than everything else in her life, she enjoys helping her mother with the housework and her afternoons watching the latin soup operas on tv or listening to music, specially when the rest of the family is having the siesta.
Mary´s only ambition in life is to meet a boy who falls in love with her, makes her feel like a princess and gives their love story a happy ending by getting married and having two or three children. That was her big aim in life due to a stupid thought that lies on her mind: she thinks she is uggly and will never be as beauty as all those princess of the fairy tales that she had read through out her childhood, in fact her boby siezes are not similar to those of the models but contrary to her thoughts and although she had gained some weith she was still a pretty girl, intelligent, dreamy, cheerful and very easy going.
Her life is that of a small town where there are as few dangers as funny things to do. Mary lives in a town so small that everyone knows eachother and their respective lives.
At the mornings Mary takes care of her little brother called George, actually she has two brothers, one called Frank who is fourteen years old and the youngest who is six years old.
As Mary´s mother works in the mornings she has to sweep the floors, make the beds, do the shopping, cook, help her little brother with his homework and dress him up to go to school. Food must be ready at twelve o´clock in orden to send George to school in time, coinciding with Frank´s arrival from school, he is in High School.
Mary is also in charge of taking George to school everyday, she loves to be so involved in her brother´s life. For Mary the houswork is a preparation for her future married life.
She also enjoys going to the supermarket because in spring mornings the smell of the flowers comes to her with the warm brise while she is riding her bicicle although in winter it is really hard, she suffers a lot because of the cold wind that frezee everything, so that she dress up every single part of her body with just her eyes always visibles when she rides her bicicle.
Mary is in Terciary School studying to be a Primary School Teacher which is the only career abilable in that town.
For Mary the best experience in the world in going to her grandmother´s house every Sundays and on the birthday parties. Sunday lunchs take place there, the whole family meet and spend long funny journies chatting aimlessly and eating, sometimes screeming to eachother because they are all talking at the same time. Her aunt and her uncle has three children each so there are nine cousins and seven adults together. Her grandfather died many years ago.
