ahhh valencia

Pues, hoy es el martes. That means that today is Tuesday. I definitely started writing this in Spanish before I realized that no one would understand me and I needed to write in English, ha. I guess it's a good thing that I'm thinking in Spanish all the time. So classes today were long and pretty insignificant. I learned how to say "que rabia!" when I'm angry about something and I also learned how to say "that's the last straw. I'm not putting up with this anymore!" haha. Ya never know when you'll need phrases like that I guess.

Well, after classes I paid for the upcoming weekend trips to Barcelona and Grenada. Those are coming up in a few weeks and we had to pay for them in advance. I'm so excited to see other cities in Spain, though this one is big enough as it is. Then Amanda and I walked to la Plaza Rotunda and looked through some shops as most of them were closing. Almost everything closes at 2, but we found one shop that we definitely want to go back to. The guy selling stuff knew a little English but he was showing us his scarves and necklaces and was really friendly. He was like "te gusta mi tienda, si?" which means, you like my shop, right?! And of course we answered yes, ha. I like conversing with the locals. It was so hot today too so we went back to the school around 3 to watch Pan's Labyrinth. The school center plays movies on Tuesdays so it was cool watching it with other students. It's such a weird movie though. Thankfully it was in Spanish but had English subtitles.

Then we hung out at the house, trying to do homework. We have our first paper due Thursday and it has to be 4 pages long. in Spanish. Talk about gross. So I started that today. It was finally time for dinner at 9:30ish. We had fried fish and an egg/potato concoction and tomatoes. Of course we took pics of the food, and I need to post them on here. Gabriel and MariCarmen started arguing at dinner about vegetables and plants because Gabriel says that he doesn't like eating meat because he doesn't like violence or killing and eating animals. But MariCarmen kept saying that plants are alive too, they grow and prosper, so why is it ok to eat them. haha, it was a hysterical argument to witness. They talk so loud all the time. It's so funny. And then when I logged back on to my computer to do more homework (ha, yeah right) I found that Vicente, one guy I met Saturday night at the bar, Corona, had facebook friend requested me. hahah, all I want to know is how he found me. ¡Que ridiculo! Well, that's all for now. ¡Buenas noches!
