Ten days since my last post and it feels like yesterday I was a blonde at Carnival! 😥 Time is going way too fast. If anyone knows a way to stop time please let me know.
The weather is starting to get warmer (yay). So Barceloneta get ready for me! I've never lived so close to a beach and I plan on abusing the privilege. I am starting to come to the end of my Barcelona check list of things to see and do. Most everything is free and everything that costs money I'm waiting to do when my lovely, generous, amazing, cool parents come. ;)
Last weekend was a pretty relaxing weekend for me. Jess and I went to the beach, ate some french fries, and soaked up some sun. Avery and Katie both had friends visiting so we all hung out and went out together. One thing that I love about meeting other kids from different universities is figuring out the mutual friends we have. It's like a game everyone plays when meeting someone new.
On Tuesday I met up with an awesome spanish girl Alba, who Mike Petruccelli introduced me to, for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Meatpacking Bistro and I had delicious spaghetti that I'm just remembering I forgot to eat the left overs... is it gross if I eat it now? It's not. It's still delicious. Anyways, I spoke spanish during dinner for parts of it and she was really helpful with correcting me. I am so thankful that I have an actual spanish friend I can talk to! Speaking of spanish friends, I went to an intercambio on Friday with Clara. Clara is in my UB spanish class. An intercambio is when students who speak different languages and are learning new ones go to talk to native speakers of whatever language they want to speak and become friends well possibly. I put my name and email down on a list for a group so whoever wants to meet up can! So, I'm waiting to get news of that so I can continue my quest for true spanish friends.
This weekend was beautiful. Friday I let myself sleep in and then hiked up to Bunker del Carmel with Sara, Avery, and Avery's friends. Some advice: don't wear jeans to hike. The view of Barcelona was beautiful as are the other 10 places you can see the whole city. We watched the sunset then got some empanadas for dinner. Saturday Sara and I went to the beach for the day. Sunday, Avery, her friends, and I went to Parc Ciutadella and then the beach. I've been beachin' it alot. I swear I study too. Overall this weekend was relaxing and fun.
Next weekend is Madrid! Until then.. xoxo
