I finished packing for Barcelona this morning, told Charo bye, and went to school with my bag so I can leave straight from there. After my classes, I called Mom to tell her to send my debit card to the school so that hopefully there won’t be as much confusion! Plus, I found out I needed a copy of my health insurance. So, today was the last day of my classes at Eureka, but I know I’ll be back because there’s actually free internet there. I left straight from Eureka to the train station, but I didn’t realize how the train [View Full Entry]

Why do I have the worst luck in the world when I’m in Spain??? I’ll explain that sentence later. Because today actually until around midnight was so great! I went school like normal, but around 3:30 I met with Antonio at Casa de Campo to go to my interview with the zoo. I dressed nice, wearing a skirt and heels. The metro ride over to casa de campo was much longer than I had anticipated, but I was still on time. It was weird, part of the ride, the metro was actually outside; not in a tunnel! The weather was [View Full Entry]

Today I woke up to the sound of Ray’s voice! It was so nice. He called right after my alarm went off. We talked for like 10 min. so that like $20…whoops, but it was worth it. I miss him so much…but good new…it’s a possibility that he may come to Spain for a few days! That would be so cool, but I know it’s really expensive, and he’d have to take off work…so if it doesn’t happen - I guess I’ll be home soon enough…but it’d be so cool! I have so many things I’d want to show him! Anyway, [View Full Entry]

El Dia de Santa Maria de la Cabeza. It’s a holiday here! No school. All the banks are closed. What to do on my day off? NOTHING! Well, for starters…I went to bed last night at like 9 or 10…and then didn’t get up this morning until 11am…it was so nice! I finally feel caught up on my sleep. The funny thing is I thought I actually slept the entire day and that it was actually already Wednesday and that I was missing my “mock interview” with Antonio…so I kinda freaked out and looked for Charo and I asked her what [View Full Entry]

Today, I wasn’t sure if I had an interview or not, so I just dressed for success anyway ;) Turns out…I didn’t, but that’s OK. So I went to school. Classes were boring today. I feel like they put me in the wrong class because we’re going over stuff that’s REALLY easy! Anyway, after class, I decided today would be a good day to go get my train ticket for Barcelona this weekend. But I have NO money! - but at least I’m supposed to get my debit card in the mail today. So yeah, I had to walk to the [View Full Entry]

Well, I couldn’t fall asleep until 3am this morning…and then Jasmine and I had planned on leaving the apartment at 8 so that we could get to the market early, but last night, I never heard Jasmine come in (she went out with Virginia). Once I got ready to leave, I went to Jasmine’s room to see if she was there. She was but she said that she had texted me last night telling me we weren’t leaving until 10am to go to the market - but I didn’t get it because I LOST MY PHONE!!!! Oh my gosh…I have the [View Full Entry]

Today was make-up day. First, I made up on all the sleep I’ve been deprived this week by sleeping in until 11. Then, I finally wrote my personal essay for vet school! So I feel a lot better about my application, but I still have a lot to do before it’s ready to be turned in. Around 6pm I went to J&J’s, that same café/bar that I went to the other day to get some coffee and use the internet. I got to talk to Ray for a few hours! It was so nice. It feels like much longer than a [View Full Entry]

Well, today marks one week since I’ve been in Madrid. It feels like I’ve been here a lot longer! I really miss Ray and my family, but I do feel more comfortable here than earlier this week. I’m still coughing a lot, but that’s really it, oh and I have no voice. School has been really boring lately because I think I’m in the wrong class. We’re going over articles of words (el, la, los, and las). This is very elementary, and I already know most of it. I really want to be going over more complicated things. Maybe next week [View Full Entry]

Today, when I woke up, my throat felt a lot better, but my head and nose are still hurting. I’m coughing a lot, but at least I feel better than yesterday. I had a hard time staying awake in class today - I think it was the Nyquil I took last night. Anyway, when class was over, I used the internet for awhile, getting caught up on everything. Prathiba and I booked our hostels that we will be staying in next weekend in Barcelona, so now all I have to do is reserve my train ticket! I’m really excited about [View Full Entry]

I woke up this morning and my throat hurt so bad! Everytime I breathe in, I can feel my throat aching. The weather here is so dry. NO humidity...I know some of you (like the ones in Houston or College Station) are thinking that´s a good thing, but trust me, my throat disagrees! I knew right away...it would be a Starbucks morning - if only that dumb ól Spaniard hadn´t stolen my wallet, I had a Starbucks gift certificate in there!! Anyway, so I went to school. I had another meeting with Antonio about my internship. He moved my interview [View Full Entry]
