...i walked to the gym, jamming to rock and pumping myself up for a run, stepped on the treadmill and FLEW off skinning up my knees and faceplanting on the floor...
AWESOME. Three guys helped me up but I didn't even know what to say becuase of the language barrier, and I'm pretty sure I said one guy was the treadmill and it was his fault? He looked at me like I was an idiot. Understandable.
Casually began jogging like this happens every day in America and afterwards looked down to see my knees gleaming with blood. Fantastic.
School is going super great--in latin rythms and dance we are doing the meringue and a spanish dude came in and was UNBELIEVABLE throwing me around on the dance floor in a beautiful fashion. I saw him with his boyfriend later. Of course, he was wearing a vest.
I finally figured out my schedule and am decently happy with it. Art History in Madrid is taught in Spanish, so that's crazy hard but I'm hoping i'll catch on. My teacher is so fashionable. All of them are, not taking into account my one professor who has a large hoop earing and a very hairy belly that likes to make frequent appearances while he's casually laying in the grass talking about Obama. Ha, a "I am gay and a republican" dude made a comment about how Obama is not a typical black male and a "typical black male" stood up in class and asked what he meant. It was getting pretty heated. Very entertaining though. Stiffled a few laughs while everyone pegged me as the racist girl. I have a feeling this political communication class is going to be like nothing at conservative Baylor baptist university. Someone bad-mouthed Bush. I wanted to kick her in the face. I told them my dad was his pharmacist in his Texas governer years...They know where this patriot stands.
Everyone in my house is getting sick. Terrifying. Will be chugging orange juice soon... as I have no idea how to define "emergen-c" in Spanish terms?
Just booked a trip to Valencia, a gorgeous beach town, for the next weekend with three girlfriends. Will have my first interesting hostel experience. Very happy I never watched that movie...
Decided to go out tonight becuase I stayed in the last two nights and my senora thinks we're wierd for doing that. She told us we needed to go out. It's been two nights? haha... there's a way to make someone feel like they're wierd. Here's another way--
In one of my Spanish classes we were reviewing parts of the body. We were talking about noses. Large, small, wide, thin. This girl raises her hand and asks how to say a "serpent nose." "What would you call someone with a serpent nose?" Everyone turned to her to see if she was being serious and she responded, "you know, like Voldemort." Casual. Of course I sit by her. I'm excited for her to bring her wand to class.
Going out becuase it's wierd not to party on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights so I have things to make up for... Muchas Gracias Senora!!
