blogging is not my thing

okay everyone, i'm really sorry for not blogging in decades. i found that whenever i have absolutely nothing to do, i do absolutely nothing. when i had classes i was cleaning the apartment (i know, weird, right?), doing dishes, going to the grocery store, taking pictures (kinda), showering, and at least kind of blogging! i regret to inform you that i haven't done any of those things in about a week. okay, kidding about the showering (sort of). but grocery store? nope. i stopped in yesterday to buy some alcohol and that's about it. i work much better under pressure and stress so hopefully once classes start next week i'll be blogging ALL THE TIME! also, i have 7 postcards written and will be sending them shortly!

i went to madrid at the perfect time! they were having their HUGE sales, and i found some very cute things. i just can't wait to show off all of my new clothes...i mean french speaking skills. willie was a wonderful host, and it was so nice seeing her. we had quite the catching up to do! the only downfall for the weekend was my flight situation! first, cancelled, as you know. then my rescheduled flight was delayed about 40 minutes THEN my flight coming back was delayed about 2 1/2 hours. by the time i landed in paris, the metros weren't running anymore so i had to take a 50 euro taxi home. my friend, kevin, from the program was really encouraging me to take easyjet because it's the "southwest airlines of europe." WELL, let me tell all of you, DO NOT take easyjet. they might as well be called annoying and unreliable jet. all i know is, i hate airports, and i am NOT looking forward to the flight home (first stop in canada THEN chicago then finally CR, dumb).

so fast-forward to yesterday. my roomies and i went to a waterpark! i have never seen so many speedos in my life. they wouldn't allow anything else for men! "fitted swimsuits only." well...i think some men could have chosen a different family activity...just saying.

last night we drank a little here and checked out the bars around our apartment with some of bridgette and kevin's friends from their school. some man gave me a rose and exclaimed that i was the most beautiful girl out of the bunch (i'm pretty sure this was before he saw my roommates so...i beat out about 2 girls). i am also happy to say that i did not spend a dime last night either!** i'm going to keep this jig up for as long as i can.

tonight we're going to a ballet at the opera! classes start monday. i hope hope hope i get a nicer teacher! sorry for the long post, i had a lot to say!

au revoir!
