Just thought I would post something about how I'm currently feeling... which is very happy. :)
I am just loving life right now. I've had so much fun so far and I love our host family. The food is amazing! I also had a great time last night. I went out to my first club in Spain called Pacha. There was a hip hop floor and a huge techno floor with a balcony & go go dancers. On the hip hop floor they played mostly American music! It's crazy to me how everyone knows the pop/hip hop songs that are in English. For example, they played "Calle Ocho (I Know You Want Me)" - Pitbull, "Low"- Flo Rida, and "I Gotta Feeling"- Black Eyed Peas. The only thing I didn't like was it seems like so many people smoke in the club!! They are just lighting up cigarettes as they're dancing! I took a shower today but my hair still smells like smoke! :(
But overall it was a lot of fun and I finally got to experience what people had told me about the nightlife in Madrid.

I'm also very happy because I am very excited for what is to come. We start classes on Monday, so that's exciting, and I am planning on taking trips to some other countries.
In fact, my roommates and I just booked a trip to Portugal for October. We got two nights in Lisbon at a Holiday Inn hotel and transportation for only $95 per person! We are so excited and stoked that we got such a great deal.
Well that about catches up my blog on my adventures so far. More to come soon.

Nicole, I like your blog :-) I'm glad to hear you like Conchi and Cris, although I knew you would... And I know exactly what you mean about the smokey smell. It takes like 3 washes of your hair to get it to go away. And then your clothes, too. It's crazy.
ReplyDeleteI stayed at the Holiday Inn when we went to Lisbon, also, and it's a nice hotel. We just ran into a problem because we wanted to have 6 of us in a 4 person hotel, and you can't really do that there... But Lisbon is awesome! They have some really fun pubcrawls, too, if you want to do that, I can give you the phone number for the guy who runs it.
Good luck with classes on Monday!
