I might as well delete my last entry because my blogging ability was significantly hindered by the fact that my FAMILY HAS BEEN HERE FOR A WEEK!! Yes, it’s been amazing. Yes, I loved having them here. Yes, it was stressful and I was very busy and had no time to think beyond the basic necessities of: go to school, eat, go out for dinner, sleep, then vaca for a couple days in Denia (in Valencia, Spain)… but overall, what a great gift?! Mom, Dad, Cait, and John accompanied me to some of my favorite hang outs and also shows me some new and exciting places to go.
Therefore, I should write a long and detailed entry about the past two weeks… but I have another long day at Carlos tomorrow, and we’ll see how much energy I do have.
Things to possibly look forward to (probs not in any order… note the abrevs [abbreviations]):
1) I went to my first lesbian bar with Juan, Perry, Mara, and Kelly (Lemieux, who is finally here!). The Blue Bar. A tale in itself.
2) I had a glorious afternoon with Juan and Mara while waiting to see a 6pm showing of Slumdog Millionaire. Juan doesnt like eating outdoors because it is uncivilized and he also doesnt like a whole LIST of other things (where is that gosh darn metro map?!)
3) I went to Fog for the first and second time. First time: with the fam&friends. Second time: after a long night at the cave bar (Chapandaz), then some other random bar, THEN Fog. Let me tell you, the second time was more fun. a) I was wearing a backless shirt, escandalosa.. b) it is Carnival! Duh, y c) well, hot sweaty dance floor?
4) Like I said, I went to the region of Valencia in Spain and saw gorgeous beaches along the coast. I stayed in a 5 star golf and spa resort, and participated in a spa day with Mom, Dad, and John, while CMK was sick.. not okay.
5) I went to toledo with my group in Spain. I saw some sweet museums, etc, but the notes part stinks. I think im reconsidering Juan’s offer for me to take notes and for him to correct my spanish papers in return; however, my spanish aintttt the besttt… which is still becoming more apparent? Back to Toledo: what a view.
6) The fam left for Ireland for another week today.
7) I have a lot more to say but I think ill have to do the detail-thang later.
8) Lately I havent been thrilled with my residencia. The only good things are the internet connection, the fact that lisey and I are together, and that Retiro Park is one minute walk away. Bad things are several, but some are: the DINNER OPTIONS, the smoking, and the fact that I live with men who are 35 years old (keep in mind I have to walk from the bathroom to my room in a towel every day… hmmmm…). A Diossss mioooo (sp?)
Ive also added some of the 10000000 pictures I need to put online. I hope facebook doesnt take away my photo album option.
Peace, love, and familia!
TriciaaaaAnimal (thats for you Liz).
KATE AND KATELYN IM JEALOUS YOU GOT TO HANG OUT AND I SERIOUSLY MISS YOU TWO.
The missing part also goes to all the people who I dont get to talk to but who obviously know I’m thinking about them… you know who you are!!!!!!!!!
p.s. This was an abreviated version of what actually happened and I’m sparing you the juicy details. BUT an explanation for the title will come soon, as well as many more accurate and interesting quotes from my existance in Spain.
p.p.s. I go to Granada Thursday morning until Sunday afternoon to celebrate Scott’s 21st birthday! Should be a ton of fun and I cant wait! Its also good that I’m leaving because Lisey is going to Rome, Juan, Mara, Sarah K, etc etc etc are all leaving this weekend! Basically Allie and Lauren will be partyin’ it up Madrid style… but without protection. Speaking of Lauren, we have 5/5 classes together. Crazy Crazy.
Now the official: sweetest dreams.
