freddie mercury in spain.

Things that definitely brightened my day:
1. Cookies
2. 80 degree weather
3. A ten minute cat nap
4. The black cocker spaniel that lives downstairs. His name is Luki and he loves me.
5. The man that lives across the way from us. We can see in his windows; he can see in ours. He's been putting on a concert for us all afternoon, complete with every cliche Queen song imaginable and "Blue (Da Ba De)," in horribly broken English. Hilarious.

Pretty sure I aced my final today, and I'm pretty sure it was because I had a coffee and a diet coke. Yikes. Just can't get over the sleepy feeling! I'm kind of sad to be finished with my film class...I really loved it. I love being exposed to different cultures and film is a great way to do so, especially if you're going to be stuck inside a classroom with no windows for four hours. Plus my teacher was super sweet. She asked each of us what are plans are for our lives, and I'm fairly certain she's convinced I'm going to be a spy/CIA agent. She also loves Princess Bride and the Goonies. She's practically American.

Maria, Gonzalo's girlfriend, spent some time at the ER today. They thought she had a virus or something because she was really sick, but she just suffers from migraines. She just came back home and she looks like she feels miserable. She's so wonderful to us; I really hate that she's had such a rough day. Maria always asks me about my film class and what we've been doing around Madrid. I think Sara and I
are going to get her flowers later.

We've decided the roommates are pretty okay, but they take too long in the baño and that's just inconsiderate. They're still strange. But tolerable.

Sara and I ate leftovers for dinner (at a normal time!) and then talked for a bit while pinterest-ing. I cannot get over how greatly God blessed me with a friend like her for this trip. Paloma gave us a hard time for not seeing Spain's nightlife, so we both got ready and bit the town...in search of chocolate. Supposedly there's a place in our neighborhood that serves churros con chocolate, but it evaded us tonight. We walked for about half an hour in search of the chocolateria. It turned out to be a good thing though; I knocked a few calories off the bum bum to make room for the chocolate Freddo Freddo ice cream and cone. I'm sure I'll regret that ice cream tomorrow when I'm laying on the beach in Alicante, but at least I won't be nakey like some of the Spaniards might be!
