Happy Halloween!!!

Ok I love my Aunt Lisa for sending me American candy. Warning, eating a bucket full of candy in 1 sitting is not advisable.

So its been a long time since I blogged and I think I´m going to get kicked off the computer soon because its 9PM. I had a great weekend with Ana and Deanna is giong to be here in 45 minutes for the 4 day weekend. Spain is amazing and really knows how to make the most out of holidays.

One thing I forgot about my last real blog. After the missing juice incident Monday. Tuesday morning when I came home from my run, my roommates were eating breakfast and I started to too. Then I noticed that my new juice had been opened and half emptied. So I took it out, poured me a glass in front of them and didn´t say anything. There haven´t been any missing food complaints since. We´ll see how this all goes!!

Ok so Wednesday October 24th I went to work, came home ate, and got ready for some private English classes. I have 2 hours, 1 to Valentina, Victor´s 10 year old cousin, who I met when I was here before, and then to her mom, Conchi, who doesn´t know any English. I just helped Valentina study for an exam she had the next day, but with Conchi it was difficult. I had no books, no plan, nothing. We decided we would get a book and continue from there. Then after that, I went and had a conversation with one of the teachers from my school María Angeles. She wanted to do and English-Spanish Exchange, and I said I could only do an English-€uro Exchange. She agreed. I actually had a really nice time talking to her, and getting to know her. She has a fabulous house and is really nice. Even though she paid me for an hour I was there an hour and a half. When I left it was POURING DOWN RAIN and she let me borrow and umbrella, but I still got home soaking wet. Then I talked with Zore a bit, ate dinner and watched Kyle XY with my roommates. They are addicted.

Thrusday Oct 25th, I went to work and in the after noon, probably did some shopping and cleaned my room because my friend Ana was coming to visit. She arrived around 7, I went to meet her at the bus station, we came home, made dinner and then got ready to go out with my roommates. We went with Rosa and Zore and their friend Rocío who picked us up in her car. We went to this really cool bar in the Plaza de Toros, the bullfighting ring. They had good tapas and the girls know the owners and a lot of the people who work there. We tried to leave several times, but everytime we did, somebody they knew stopped us, invited us to a round of something and we stayed a little longer. There is something to say about having flirty, hott friends who dress to kill. Then we were finally able to leave and went closer to the city center, and finally went home. I wanted to go home before we changed locations but I was the minorty. It was really the first time I´ve been out since I´ve been here, so it was fun.

Ok now I have to go pick up Deanna, so, till next time, a bit is better than nothing. Oh PS, I tried to upload the video of Pepa dancing twice and it didn´t work. Sorry. I don´t know what the deal is. It´ll give you and excuse to come visit!
