busy week. loving the new place, i've been running in the park and cutting through it on my way to and from places as much as possible. it really is the best place in the world, so its nice to have it so close. i started my spanish classes on monday, and ive got another tonight. its hard to focus when they are so late at night, but its the only time i have time to go! i finished my classes for the day, and the parents of my last lesson dropped me off at home, which was nice of them. they live on the outskirts of madrid, so when we were driving in the car i saw a lot of places i had never seen before (i travel so much underground--i dont actually know whats around!) theres a huge cemetary, one of the biggest ive seen right near the highway. they were speaking to me in spanish and i couldnt keep up at all. certain days i can talk to anyone about anything, then other days i dont understand the simplest things. its like i switch on and off. either way, i am absorbing a lot. another friend of mine moved this weekend so last night we all got together at her new house and made some spanish food --tortilla espanola with lots of veggies! thursday night we are having a mexican night!
well, thats about all i have time for now! its basically the weekend after tomorrow, and a 4 day one at that (they have another holiday on monday...they are always having holidays...usually i would think this is great, but when you get paid by the hour...the holidays every other week get a little old!) but regardless, i will enjoy my long weekend and the corresponding short week to follow.
a halloween picture: the shaz band (because it rhymes with "jazz" and my friends name is shaz! brilliant, i know...)
