11 weeks down, only 6 to go :( Where has the Time Gone?

So it is crazy for me to think that I have been here a little over 11 weeks already.   I cannot believe it.  Only 6 weeks left and I am so not ready for this all to end.

Yesterday was another day of running all over...first class, then making up a quiz, after that a trip to see the completed flower wall, class again, and then ran home for my intercambio.  Then after classes, I was told that I did not have to tutor because the little boy I tutor had a celebration in his catechism class.  Yay!  That allowed me to spend 1 1/2 hours with my intercambio partner Maria Nieves (isn't that a beautiful name?!?)  The more we chat and learn about each other, the more I enjoy our time together!  She's such a sweet person and quite artsy too (she's a designer...check out her blog).  That was probably the highlight of my day :)



After my intercambio, I headed to look up the thrift store my roommates have found near here...took me a while to find it, especially as it was getting dark.  I almost got lost, but ended up finding it and purchasing a little sweater.  (Now I just need heavy sweaters and long-sleeved shirts as the washing machine here has been stretching mine out...and it didn't start happening til recently, but out of 3 casual sweaters and 3 casual long-sleeved shirts, one of each has now been stretched out to the point that it looks funky if I wear it.  Fudge!)  Then it was time to head home for dinner.  Enough excitement for one day.

Anyhow...this promises to be a fun weekend.  This morning I have to leave to meet with someone to work on a project for Phonetics class (it's always Phonetics...), but then my friend Katie and I (Elizabeth backed out...sad!) will get on a bus for our next adventure (not gonna state our destination for safety reasons).  I won't return to Madrid til late Sunday night but will post hopefully early next week about my trip!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend :)

Peace and Blessings,
Melanie
