Last night we went to a bar called Pippermints that specializes in creating HUGEEEE drinks.... literally they're enormous (and they probably wouldnt be legal in North America)... So you share them between 3-5 people, and can get either beer, sangria, or mixed drinks. The night before my group of friends made new friends with local Spanish guys, so we invited them to the bar with us, and there was a lot of Spanglish going on lol. It was fun to meet locals and talk to them about their life here, where they go to school, and how to say different things in Spanish. One of the guys taught me how to say "high 5" ... but i totally forget how, he had to keep telling me last night, because I kept forgetting :( whoops. I think it was "chocas esos cinco".... something a long those lines. We stayed out until 430ish am (pretty typical in Spain.... 4am is sort of an "early night"), and then we didnt wake up until 1pm. I thought we partied hard at Laurier.... over here it's a whole different thing.
Today Liz and I went out for lunch at a café and wrote some postcards to our friends and families.... (now i just need to find stamps and mail them...) it was a very lazy day, and it was nice and relaxing to just sit in a cafe and hang out. After we ate and wrote our postcards we went on a mini walk and walked past La Sagrada Família because it was so close to where we were. Even though Ive walked by La Sagrada Família many times since Ive been here, it's still incredible to see and it never ceases to amaze me. We went into a couple gift / touristy stores beside the church and some people tried to get us to buy various things from magnets to barça scarfs lol.
Tomorrow starts my first official full week of school. Love that im only taking 3 courses :)
