Again, it's hard to update everyday. Nights are busy and tiring, and there's little time during the day. I haven't even been keeping up with the daily journal I have to write in for class.
Friday we had class, unfortunately, but my teacher is really awesome so it wasn't a big deal. Mostly we're still doing review of concepts and a lot of grammar. I personally feel like I need to work on my vocabulary; the grammar comes easy to me but it's hard to communicate when you don't know the words for things.
After class on Friday I went with Chrsitina and we went looking for a pair of yellow shorts for her for the game on Sunday. I ended up buying some really cheap jewelry, which was awesome, and a white skirt from H&M for 3 euro.
The Italian food Thursday night was fantastic! I had some of the best tortellini in my life. It sucks that our restaurant isn't a good representation of what Spain has to offer in terms of food. Last night one girl even got food poisoning from some mystery meat she ate and she had to go to the hospital. Good thing I don't eat meat.
Saturday we had our trip to Segovia. The town was absolutely gorgeous, and the castle was amazing. I took so many pictures. The castle is on a hill, it reminds me of the one in the Harry Potter movies. We ended up having some sangria there and it was awesome - Segovia is known for it's wine and the aquaducts. The aquaducts are huge. Pictures don't really show you how big they are.
Sunday we went to this quaint medieval town called La Alberca in the mountains. I felt like I was in a storybook or a fairytale. All the buildings were really old and there was flowers everywhere, and a lot of the walls had moss on them. Apparently the mountain water there is so clean they have little fountains where you can drink from or fill water bottles with. It was so cold! We ended up eating in this little restaurant overlooking the mountain view, and the food was really good. We made sure that we got back in time for the game. We went to a bar and even though we got there more than an hour early, we ended up sitting on the floor next to the screen and speakers cause there were no seats. It didn't matter though, just watching the game in a bar filled with Spaniards was amazing. Everyone was nervous with anticipation for what was going on. And when Spain scored in the final minute of overtime, oh man the place exploded! Since the internet sucks here I can't upload any of my videos, but I have one of the whole bar singing a song after they won the game.
