It has been a while since my last update and that's because I've been preparing for midterms. Last week I took them so they're finally OVER!! I have a minute to breathe. Well....kind of. I still want to finish a book by tomorrow for one of my classes and I have like, 200 pages. I just want to write an essay on it Wednesday night. So I guess I could finish it Wednesday.
APART FROM THAT!
Madrid is great. The weather has warmed up. Yesterday I went to the Retiro (the main park, like central park) and read and chatted in the grass because it was so nice out. I even got a little sunburned! Which kind of felt good.
There's a saying with Spain: "With the spring comes the strikes." Apparently going on strike is all the rage in the spring time. There are also protests almost everyday. I've seen two (two Wednesdays in a row) One for better wages for disabled people and one for something else, something with doctors but I couldn't really tell. The worst though is that the bus drivers are on strike!!! How annoying! They aren't striking everyday. It's a conditional strike: every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. SO on those days we have to take the metro (which I enjoy) but since the WORLD is taking the metro it's PACKED. Why don't they just raise their wages already??
Worse, is since my Senora hates the metro, because she can't take the bus on certain days, she just stays home. ugh...... Actually, my Senora and I are getting a long better. She's been pretty nice recently. I still avoid extraneous conversation, and I don't ask her any questions. My dad thinks that while we went to Andalucia the school might have called her, because they knew we were having issues.
In any case, life is very fun here. I'm very excited that ED IS GOING TO BE HERE THIS WEEKEND!
Now, I'm working on making my resume fit the internships I want to apply for....by "working on" I mean THINKING of working on. I'll start when I get back from Spring Break.
IN CONCLUSION:
-Springtime
-Strikes
-Vacation
-Learning more and more Spanish
That's life.
