It is Friday at midnight and my roommates have just left me. It is weird being the only one home! Liz and Anna are going to Lisbon, Portugal for the weekend. Their flight leaves in the morning, but the metro doesn't start running until 6 AM, so they are camping out in the airport to avoid taking an expensive taxi at the crack of dawn. This weekend, I am going to Zurich and Lucerne in Switzerland with my friend Kenzie. Zurich is a very busy city, and Lucerne is beautiful. Google some pictures. It is gorgeous. This weekend will be my first hostel experience--wish me luck! Our flight leaves at 9, so we will have enough time to make it to the airport on the metro. I am so excited for this weekend--mainly for the cheese and chocolate. I will update you all as soon as I return on Sunday.
This week was fun. I am definitely starting to get in the swing of things. I started and finished The Girl Who Played With Fire. It was such a good book. If you are a super busy person, don't start reading it because you won't be able to put it down. My tutoring job is going really well--Luis got a very high score on his exam--and my classes are still not stressing me out. Normally, I would be busy all of the time with school work, but I have enough time in between classes to get some studying done and my classes really aren't as difficult or intense as they would be in Saint Louis. However, midterms are coming up soon, so stay tuned...
Dinner was extremely filling tonight, but delicious. Egg soup (my favorite soup that Gabby makes) and spaghetti. After dinner, Gabby and Alejandra showed us some flamenco, rumba, salsa, and cha-cha. Gabby takes dances classes for fun and is very talented! We are going to go to one of her flamenco shows. Gabby also gave me some food to take with me for the weekend. She honestly thinks of everything.
I hope everyone in the midwest held their own during the thundersnow! I know my dad had a fabulous time digging everyone out of the snow. I miss my family very much, but I can't say that I miss the Chicago weather. This weekend it is supposed to be in the 40's in Switzerland and sunny--not bad at all. Warm wishes from Madrid!
