Happy Spring!!

So it has not been the most eventful of weeks, but currently it is 55 degrees and sunny, so all is great!

Last Thursday, I went on a tapas crawl with the school. It was loads of fun. We got tapas at four different restaurants with some students from the Politechnica school (engineering students). I got to hang out with a bunch of people from school I didn't know well, and we all had a blast. Later that night, Jade and I went and had a chill night with Matt, one of the students from SU Madrid. We got hit on by some creepy Spanish guys, and I gave a fake name for the first time in my life. It was both hilarious and unnecessary, no harm no foul.

Friday, I spent the entire day writing my three 3-page essays for the Azahar seminar. I worked from about 10 am until 11:30 pm when I sent in my work. Not my best decision, but a fine display in my incomparable procrastination skillz.

Saturday, Jade and I went to Tomar Cafe, which is an adorable little venue with delicious iced coffee and too many hipster Americans. We then walked around Madrid for about two hours, which was really cool because we found out how close a bunch of our favorite spots are to each other.

Sunday we were supposed to go to a street market with Kayley, but it turned out to not be happening. We stumbled upon a little indoor craft show, and after walked around Madrid for a while.

Monday was a public holiday, so we didn't have school. Jade and I went to study Spanish in a cafe for a couple hours, in preparation for the midterm we had this morning.

So, not much happened in the past week. But that's okay, because I am going to LONDON tomorrow!!! Wahoo! I am so pumped! I may try to steal Marissa's laptop and write a post within the next 11 days, but no promises.

I fly into London tomorrow, we will be in Scotland the 29th through the 1st of April, and I fly back to Madrid the 2nd.

Oh, and an irrelevant side-note  I was bored in class today and started writing stories for my friends, which was loads of fun :) The one I wrote for Charity was about her and her little kittens, and then a witch tries to steal the kittens, but Christiano Rinaldo (the soccer player) rescues the kittens and he and Charity fall in love and get married. So, yeah. Made me laugh.

I am also recently obsessed with a new guy on YouTube  He goes by Ze Frank, and makes videos about animals called "True Facts" that are hilarious. He also does some more serious videos that are really interesting. www.youtube.com/zefrank1 if you wanna check him out. He studied neuroscience at Brown, so yeah, he's pretty legit.

Ok, that's all. Enjoy Spring, even if you are surrounded by snow.
