Sorry it's been 17 years since I've blogged! I feel like I've finally settled into living here in Madrid, so there's less new, fun, and exciting things to talk about- it's starting to feel more like home to me now. But in a good way! Here are a few updates from the past week or so!
1. I finally started working out! I went on an hour long bike ride in the park on Saturday morning and went for a run Sunday and Monday. Feeling much better in the exercise department :)
2. I went to a Real Madrid soccer game! It was so much fun-- such an exciting atmosphere! Plus, we won!
3. I went to a huge flea market early Sunday morning called El Rastro. It was crazy and so much fun. I bought a scarf (I'm so Euro) and three little owls (repping the Chi O, always). So much to see- I'm definitely going back next Sunday!
4. Lindsey and I are officially COUCH SURFING in Rome next weekend (Nov 5th-8th). Our host is named Vincenzo, so classic, and we are so excited! He lives in the center of the city, just two metro stops away from the Colloseum. It's going to be such a fun experience, I absolutely can't wait!
5. I started teaching tonight :) My little girls are so sweet! They don't speak much English so it's going to be a bit more of a challenge than I expected. I'm anticipating a lot of High School Musical, Hannah Montana, and Justin Beiber. Luckily, I happen to love all these things! But if you have any tips on teaching a second language, fill me in!
6. We have yet another roommate in our little apartment and that = five girls now sharing one bathroom. Her name is Patricia and he's from Brazil, so she speaks Portugese. Hopefully I can get her to teach me some!
7. I'm going to Cordoba this Saturday on a daytrip for my art history class. There's going to be so much cool stuff to see- I can't wait!
That sounds awesome! Glad you are settling in!
