First of all, EXTREMELY jealous of those who went to Pamploma for the Running of the Bulls (these pics are AWESOMEEE. http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/07/the_festival_of_san_fermin_201.html) AND VIVA ESPANAAAAA. world cup soccer. beautiful soccer players. i wish i was in madrid... but anyway.
I've been back for a while now and I miss having to update my blog w all the exciting things I used to do on the weekends. My life is back to "normal." I find myself listening to a lot of Spanish music trying to practice listening and understanding the words. I've realized that I changed the settings on my blogger to Spanish.. and I think I might leave it that way. Ver blog. Publicar Entrada. Guardar Ahora. I have to say, even though I miss the nights out in Europe, I think I'm way happier at home w all the ethnic, affordable, authetic food I can get. In the first month I've been back (prob sooner than that), I've had sushi (many times), chinese, vietnamese, thai, mexican, bbq, jamaican, brazilian, burgers, etc. I'm still missing out on Indian and Korean, if i have any takers. loll
However, I do have to say, American are fat bc we eat so much. It's not the food we eat, it's how MUCH of it. Spaniards eat bread every day. They're stick-thin. They also smoke too, but I'm just saying.....
Over the past month and a half, I've been sorting pictures for my family, for me, for my senora. and all I gotta say is STUDY ABROAD if you can. for sure. Things change when you're gone, but if they change then it wasn't meant to be anyway. I still have the same friends (mostly) lol
I know that Berkeley is going to kick my butt next semester, but at least I sort of have an intercambio. A girl is coming to Berk from the same school I studied at in Spain. I get to take her around a little and she said she'd help me w Spanish. yeeee.
Anyway, I'm gonna fix this blog up next week and use it as an online journal for my travels (not just Spain), so look out for my next vacations. I would travel all my life if i could. and if I didn't eventually want a stable life and family. haha
Sooo I'll be back. I'm heading up to Oregon, Washington, and Canada from August 7th to the 17th. Hope they at least have good food. I'm bringing books in case I get bored.... Suggetions are welcome. lol
ahhh you're such a tease for mentioning all the different types of food you've eaten lately! lol.. i miss it all sooooo much! what i'd do for a burrito with guac on it! ahhh
