A LOT has happened as of late. And as y'all should know - I hate structure so I'll be typing in bullets and maybe (hopefully!) adding in some pictures to this post.
First and foremost, I'll recap what has happened this weekend, as it merits discussion.
As you may know by now, people here do not go out to tapas until maybe 11:30, bars until 12:30-ish and then discotecas until 2:30-3. So Friday afternoon I decide that since this is my last weekend in Granada until early Feb. (AIFS has a trip planned to Madrid next weekend and then I'll be traveling to Germany to see Bianca and then Barcelona to hang out with Matt and the Sagrada Familia) that I am going to go all out this weekend. Well - Friday night rolls around and I get locked out of my house - long, long story.. but I was for the first time homeless! And let me tell you.. I did not enjoy it one bit. It was cold, wet, etc. True Life: I also slept in a stairwell.
Anyway, on Saturday after one hour of sleep we went on a hike through the Sierra Nevada's foothills. Even though my back was sore from sleeping on the cold marble, I was a champion - it was a 5 hour hike and the views were AMAZING. absolutely stunning. Here's just one of the pictures - I'll have larger ones on facebook soon though.
Then last night, in short, I managed to get us into one of the clubs for free, get three drinks for free, and then get kicked out of the club... for free? In my defense, I had NO idea where the men's bathroom was so I just ended up using the woman's. Bad idea. But at least the bouncer was nice about kicking me out and at least now I know where the men's bathroom is.
Regardless of my weekend adventures, I'm almost done with my intensive class. Our test is on Wednesday and then we're having a Movie/Churro day on Thursday! Yay!
I've been really enjoying my witch/porn-star teacher as of late. She's really laissez-faire about everything. I convinced her, after briefly talking about how the Centro de Lenguas Modernas building was haunted, to let us watch the movie: El Orfenato the following day. She's really great and 10 times better than Montse (Sorry Montse!) will ever be.
Internet is still hard to come by, I wish I could be more thorough with this blog... but I've typed so much to my mother that my hand's about to fall off. But I guess this will leave you wanting to know more of that's going on in my life? Does anyone even read this, anyway?
Perhaps my next post will be in the Black Forest in Germany eating some schnitzel and wearing some liederhosen or maybe in Barcelona in the middle of an Anti-Israel/Catalan separatist march?? One can only hope.
