Sitting here in the University computer lab, I´m drinking out of my leftover water bottle from France, eating a bocadillo (baguette with some kind of hot red, salty sausage. mmmm.) and sorting through a pile of metro maps, plane ticket stubs, pennies, pence, and pounds in my change purse to try and find just 50 euro cents to buy a freakin juice box.
Welcome to my life.
While on the train between London and Paris, I started making lists of all the stories I want to update you with that I haven´t had time or reliable internet to put up yet. On the queue, we have stories about my awesome but challenging classes, more about the nightlife and overall atmosphere of beautiful Salamanca, funny observations such as people wearing t-shirts with english words that they obviously have no idea the meaning of (ex: Spanish guy wearing a Dodgers shirt - I asked him, and he didn´t actually know who the Dodgers were. Friend´s host brother wearing UCLA shirt, didn´t know what or where UCLA actually was. Italian guy wearing a shirt that said ´red hot chilly pepper ice cream.´) and then of course more about my little host family, the increasingly strange food I´m being fed (last night my senora made us each 2 purple colored hamburgers the size of my hands) and all the awesome Spanish frases I´ve been learning, like ´que mono!!´ (´how cute!´ or if you tried to translate it literally into english, ´what monkey!´) and ´mi media naranja´ which means ´my other half - assuming we´re all oranges, just waiting to find our other halves somewhere out there :) Que mono, si?
...that being said, with all of the updating and picture uploading I want to do first from this crazy five day weekend, I have a feeling that my ambitious list of stories are going to take a back seat for now.
So, if you can ´perdon´ the delay, then let´s begin with my crazy, exhausting, slighly dangerous, but incredably fun five day weekend adventure. [I'm going to do it in blog segments, so it's easier to read.]
