So, is there anyone who hasn't been giving me grief about not updating my blog regularly enough? Remember I am in Spain... nothing can be rushed here! It'll get done.. eventually.. calm down ;)
Anyway, I think now is the time for an update, I actually have things to tell you all! Sort of..
I've had a week and a half of lessons now. Last week I had group lessons and this week (and next) I've got three hours of individual lessons each day. I think today was the best day of lessons I've had so far. In the conversation lessons I actually just thought/spoke in Spanish for the entire hour.. Wow. It helps that my teacher is really nice, and she also adores Dr House, so we have common ground! So my confidence is slowly but surely improving.. even if I have bad hours and it is still practically impossible to understand the locals! Not sure I need all this practice to speak Spanish, I just need to know a few words and then mash them all together whilst moving my hands a lot and shouting (I think the shouting is the most important bit), one day I'll get the hang of it!
I've just booked my train ticket to Madrid for 6th March, which is very exciting and scary at the same time. The RENFE site was an absolute pain! And just discovered there's actually luggage rules which I will be about 12kg over?! But I've heard the rules are never applied so hopefully all will be okay. If not I'll be camping out in Malaga train station, which as I learnt yesterday is amaaazing (full of shops.. and a Mcdonalds... what else would I want?) so even that won't be too bad!
Last Friday I went out with Anna in Nerja, it was a bit of a crazyy nigght and I am VERY proud to say bedtime wasn't til 6am ! I was incredibly surprised by the amount of people out for a cold winter night in a small sleepy town, but the schools are on 1/2 term this week (they called it 'semana blanca' which i like!) so I think a lot of them were back from Malaga for the week. V interesting. My favourite part of the night was definitley the jamón y queso bocadillo, yum! Or maybe getting the DJ to play Starstrukk.. Ahh I love it.
Anyway! Yesterday me and Anna went to Malaga. Hurrah! Anna's decided she will buy a new pair of shoes in every city she visits.. I think this is the best idea I've ever heard in my life and I wish my luggage room/bank balance would allow me to do the same.. the shoes from Malaga she got were absolutely to diee for and I am veryy jealous! We went after school (my classes finish at 230) so we didn't arrive til 4.30ish but we had a nice time walking around in the SUN(!!) and then caught one of those tour bus thingys where we sat right at the back up top looking quite the tourists! It took us all around the city which was lovely, there's not exactly much to see/do but it drives you up to this Castle thing on the top of a hill and you can see the whole city which was cool/scary..! Also saw Picassos birth place... wooow.
Think a tapas tour is in the pipeline for tomorrow... Anna still has to sample real tapas, yesterday we ordered patatas bravas and got greasy chips+spicy ketchup. not impressed! However I liked it because it gave us an excuse to go to Mcdonalds... some things never change, and my love for Mcdonalds will never fade wherever I am!
Have to go now, laptop battery is going to die. Hope this is up to everyones standards!
Missing you all, love you lotss, have fun in the slush snow and I'll enjoy breakfasting on my balcony :)
