Scheduling.

Hola!

Okay so I have found out I have a 9 am every single morning. It's tough, especially when your room doesn't have windows. But I'm liking my classes alright. Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-7 I have two classes...in the same room....with the same teacher back to back. His name is sinan, he's Turkish and really nice and speaks good english. there's a couple of others who are in both classes too, we've bonded.

Saturday: Linda, and i and her two friends from Spanish, John and Scott decided last minute to go to the FC Barcelona game! It was amazing, the stadium is cool, the crowd is fun, and FC Barca won 5-0 in a really important game against Deportivo Club. I don't know where they're from, but they're obviously far less superior than Barca.

Sunday: Linda and I were trying to get to the Picasso Museum, but decided to walk to the beach instead. It was wonderful! I can't wait until it's warmer. There's live music around, cool sand castles, very open PDA...that part's not so great but the beach is gorgeous. 

Tuesday we convinced Sinan to cancel class which would have ended at 7, and the inauguration was at 6pm here. We went to a Sports Bar with several other Americans and watched Obama take office with Spanish beer. 

Thursday night: went to Tapas with the girls and guys from Apartment Bldg 29. It was delicious patatas bravas are amazing, they're basically french fries with the most amazing sauce on them and of course Sangria. Then, me and the girls went to Chupitos, which is this whole bar devoted to making shots. We realized after a while, the shots are fun (most of which are on fire, or have candy in them) but don't really have that much alcohol in them. boo. Twas fun, very crowded though. 

Today....plans were made to travel. 

January 30-February 1st...Linda, her friend Renana and I are going to Lyon, France (southern france) because it was the cheapest flight and we decided to be spontatneous.

Then the weekend after that Linda, Renana, Scott, John and I are heading to Lisbon, Portugal! I'm so excited. It's pricey, but after 2 weekends of traveling in a row, I won't be traveling for a while. 

I have discovered the most wonderful dish to fill you up and taste delicious. The Tortilla Espanola. It's basically a huge round chunk mixed with eggs and potatoes. It's delicious and cheap and tastes good with copious amounts of ketchup....

that's it for now! Muchos besos.
