Finally A Routine...

So Tuesday was our first test... it actually wasn't too bad!  (Or at least I hope) They have themes for every test and for ours this week it was How I Met Your Mother so I was sooooo happy and it was actually really helpful!  After class, we came home and took a nap (duh) until our next class at 5!  I really needed the rest because my throat had been hurting and I woke up that morning with a lot of congestion... but now it's gone!  I had my first Contemporánea Literatura Española class!  There are actually a lot of people I know in the class which was super weird!  On the first day, we jumped right into learning about Romanticism! It doesn't seem too difficult so far but I just hope I can stay focused and not zone out because that would not be good... After class, a group of us went to La Champañería, which is a local place that sells sandwiches and super cheap cava.  Their chorizo is AMAZING and really cheap so we'll definitely be going back soon!  After that we decided we didn't want to go home just yet so we roamed around until we found a quaint little bar!  We hungout and talked and ended up finding Jenga nearby :)  We played two games, both of which I, unfortunately, ended and had a good time!

Getting ready to kick some booty!
Yesterday I had two classes with a three hour break in between!  Micaela, Emily and I went to the library to do some homework!  I didn't get the internet to work correctly there so I need to get it fixed next week but it was weird to actually be doing work! Ha.  We went to the "Harry Potter library" and it's super nice and gets ya in the mood to be productive.  After class, I came home and relaxed for a bit.  I finished up some homework and then people began coming over to start the celebrations for El Clásico!!!!!!! I was stressing out a little bit because I had a Skype Test for my interview next week!! We were supposed to be leaving around 9:15ish for the game and the test was set up for 9 but they hadn't called until a bit later!  It ended up being okay... super weird because it was blurry on their end but apparently they could see and hear me well.  I'm nervous for a panel of six people to be shooting questions out at me and hopefully the video/internet will be working okay!  Finally we left for the game and went to El Plaza del Sol, which is about two minutes from our house!  This was the first time we actually wandered around our neighborhood for bars, which is super surprising because we have some of the best!  It was really cool, we were actually a bit awkward and chose to save money and watch the game on the steps outside of the bar and peek inside hahaha.  But it was lots of fun!! We apparently tied?  I wasn't sure because someone had told me we won but I guess not?  So I wonder if there'll be another game!!!!


Today we had class and mostly did nothing...  not much to say.  Right now I'm sitting in the dark because our light in our living room burnt out?  Haha.  Tomorrow is the first Friday with NO classes! So you know what that means... gotta go :)

  1. Hey lo. "what does how i met your mother?" mean? Is jenga the game with the wood where u have the photo above? its where u take off a piece of wood without making it fall? Im sure the interview went good. Have u gone to see a futbol game at a stadium yet, or only on tv? aren't chorizos great? Are any spaniards in your classes? Are u meeting any? Sounds like you're becoming a local. Enjoy. :)
