so i walk into my international business class and its covered in paper planes. they are everywhere and everyone in the class is throwing them at each other and screaming and laughing. so i missed what happened but it was cool nonetheless. we managed to postpone class for like 15 mins and the teacher made paper plane references for the next hour. but luckily thanks to everyone emailing me messages with "sun" in them the past two days have actually been pretty nice. there still is a huge amount of wind and i think there is dust or something in the mountains because when it is windy there is this brown haze that coveres everything. probably dust. but i was HOPING to have like 5 pictures of me and rosario's new apartment, but when we went to go look at it, not only was the lady we talked to not the landlord she was a tennant there, and there were two other guys living in the apartment so that would make it a total of 5 people if me and rosario moved in. so it would have been wierd, and it was a huge dissapointment because that apartment was perfect. but i called an agentcy for students today and made an apointment to go look at another apartment tomorrow which looks really promising.
so today is thursday which means the begining of the weekend, and i believe we are all headed to gecko again tonight. it would be a really nice place to hangout but i hate cigarette smoke and that place is the worst. the bar is really cool it has modern music playing but they play these old 70's music videos that are projected on the wall, its neat. ill try to take some pictures tonight.
yesterday inbetween class and apartment hunting me and rosario went and got crepes in placa catalunya at this place called patagonia. it was amazing. i had one with strawberries in it and i think i was in a diabetic coma for like 4 hours after because it had soooooo much chocolate on it. everything here has chocolate on it. i think actually everything tastes bad so they just put chocoltate on it and call it a day.
ummm my spanish is getting better, but no one really gives me a chance to try, most people at school speak english, and no one at the residence does, so people at school automatically talk to me in english, and people at the residence just dont talk to me cause they think i wont understand them. but all the same i mean catalyn is a silly language and its really difficult to understand because of the accent. most people speak mostly spanish but you can tell when you have met a native spainard because its like hearing another language. rosario says she cant understand them most of the time. heres an example from my phrase book
"que hora es" = what time is it in spanish
"quin es l'horari"= what time is it in catalyn. yea annoying i know
but im doing alot better homesick wise, i still miss everyone because well i dont have a WHOLE lot to do all the time, but im keeping busy trust me especially with trying to find an apartment. and sight seeing. so i should be pretty busy for a while.
