Today was just a normal day here in Spain that ended up being a lot of fun. It started off a little stressful because Wednesdays are my busiest days because I teach English during my break from classes so I don’t get to go home. Plus I had my ecology midterm, which I only studied for during my like hour break. But teaching English was really fun and then the father of the kids that I teach drove me to the university on his motorcycle! I had never been on a motorcycle before and it was so much fun! I really enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. Then my ecology midterm took all of like 15 minutes to finish, so I got to go home a lot earlier, which is always nice. After that, API offered a Spanish movie night so we went to the movie theater and saw slumdog millionaire…in Spanish. I was so happy that I could understand pretty much the entire movie – and I loved it! It was the perfect mix of like drama/scariness with quality characters/happiness. SJ and I then headed to one of the residencias because it was our friend Claudia’s birthday. It was fun to hang out with some of the API kids because I really like some of them and we don’t make it down by them very often because it’s pretty far from our house. Later we went to meet some of SJ’s friends from Italy who are studying here with ERASMUS (a Europe-wide exchange program). It was really neat to meet people from all over Europe, from Spain to Italy to Germany, and it was good Spanish practice! We went with that group to a club near their apartment, and the club was filled with international students – I’m pretty sure SJ and I were practically the only American students there, which was really cool. There were a lot of people and obviously it was very smoky (the one thing I don’t like about Spain!) but they played really good music, including an Italian song that I love (thanks Brooke!). Overall it was a very fun day and night and I hope I have more like this one soon!
As always, thanks for reading – there will be another long post with lots of pictures next week because Bennett is coming to visit me – he will be here from Saturday to Wednesday and I’m so excited!
Hey! I'll be seeing you in less than two days!
ResponderEliminarThat was definitely a busy day for you – I just wish my midterms were as easy as the one you had. Hopefully your other ones won't be too bad, especially since it's my fault you won't get to study a lot!
