I think that the title of this post means "random" in Spanish...but I'm not 100% on that...
So yeah, not a lot new since yesterday...This week we're going to have two tests and I'm not particularly excited for that, but it does mean that we're at the halfway point for the semester, so that's good news...Oh, but we also have another noche de chicas on Friday, and that should be fun and amazing...
Yesterday...hmm...I spent like 7€ on 4 postcards and 7 stamps (I had purchased 3 postcards earlier; I am not that bad with math)...that is about $10 or more...that's a lot...pretty sure that those will be the only postcards I send while here in Spain...Then I went and met with the girls who I'll be spending the week-long break with, and we figured out hostel/hotel/train info and got all the necessary purchases made...I owe one 140€ and the other 14€; exchange rate is about 1.5 dollars to the euro...Europe is expensive...BUT, I have reasoned with myself, this is the cheapest I could ever do a trip to Barcelona and Ireland in my life...any other time I would have to purchase flights from the US which would significantly up the costs...so, this is a good deal...I have to keep reminding myself...Also yesterday, I was eating pasta...I had some saucy noodles on my fork...then they dropped, because they were saucy and wobbly both...and I had sauce splattered all over me and I felt like I was about 3 years old...*sigh*
But, today is Salud's birthday! Yay! Karla and I are going to take her out for dinner since we want to do something special for this crazy-amazing lady who is inviting us into her home and treating us like we're her daughters...Salud also has been really into the idea of going to a movie with us, pretty much since we got here, so we'll need to do that sometime too as part of the birthday deal...it should be fun!!
Well, not much else is new...y'all should post comments and tell me what's new in life...that would be fun and exciting and you know you want to... :)

Yeah, it's amazing how fast postage can add up... or really all the expenses. i try not to stress about it too much though because whether or not it feels like it right now, we are both having once-in-a-lifetime experiences and in 30 years - heck, in two years - it really won't matter that I spent more than I was planning on my trip to Barcelona, or that the exchange rate was really dreadful.
ReplyDeleteI think the noodles story was the most random part of this entire post. Love it.
Have fun with Salud!
Wish Salud happy birthday for me! I hope y'all had fun! And yeah, its pretty amazing that you even get to go to Barcelona and Ireland... those are two of many places you get to go that I didn't get to go this fall. Of course that means you need to keep taking lots of pictures for us! And make sure the pictures include you too!
