This weekend seemed to fly by. It has been a weekend full of holidays so doesn't officially end until Wednesday but I have a midterm Wednesday so that means i have to study! BOO! Well Friday I chilled at my house because I had a interview at 4pm. I spoke with the woman and then Alfonso and I went grocery shopping for food so that I could cook an American meal. While walking there we saw all the Christmas lights were finally lit up and decided to walk around. It was so pretty. I then made pancakes for my family with maple syrup. They loved them. They had never had maple syrup before.
On Saturday I went with Nora and went shopping for family and friends and to a flea market. It was a cool little market and we found a ton of great gifts at great deals. We also went to the famous Christmas shops around Sagrada Famila. The shops had decorations and all kinds of candy nuts and crepes. Spain also has these little logs that people buy and put presents in. The log has a face on it and then at christmas they use the nose and the presents go out the backside of the log. Kinda weird if you ask me.
On Sunday we went wondering around again. This time we made it to a museum since it was free museum day. The museum was the best pictures in world newspapers in 2009. It was really awesome...apparently it travels the world and just happens to be in Barcelona right now. It was awesome to see since I am a journalism major and everything.
On monday, today, I went to study with my friends at this cool funky cafe. We ordered coffee and tea and tried to stay focused on Spanish. We are supposed to meet up again tomorrow. It was nice to see everyone and just chill. We all were shocked that we leave next week and bummed that the majority of our time left will be lots and lots of studying. I finished my Christmas shopping as well today. HOORAY! I got Max something pretty cool and now am completely finished. Then at night came home and made my family mashed potatoes, fried chicken and green beans. It was really yummy and tasted just like home.
This weekend has flown by and was a lot of fun. It is crazy to think that I only have a week and 3 days left. WEIRD! Well tomorrow I need to get a lot of studying done and go homework crazy! Finish strong...
Adios from Barcelona
