I feel like I start every blog out saying that we went to class, but that's literally because that is how we start every day Monday -Thursday. During our two our break from classes, Alix and I did book our final flight for la semana santa (aka spring break). Hello Paris, Florence, Venice, and Rome! It's getting closer and I'm getting more excited. This will be a fun one I'm sure. Alice and I decided to take a walk around Cáceres for some exercise. The weather ...

Valentine's Day :) Alice didn't go to school today, so I was left to ride the bus by myself (haha). After classes I came home and we had lunch with Lola, where she informed us of the true meaning of Valentine's day. I told her that many people in the US called it "Single Awareness Day" and she didn't understand why. I told her that people who don't have a significant other and see all the lovey-dovey stuff that coincides with Valentine's Day makes them feel lone...

Happy Monday! So as usual, we started out our day with classes.

So Lola grabbed her ladder and climbed up it to get it off. It had been crawling down the wall and had reached my pillo...

The best lazy Saturday yet. Even though I cleaned the room on Thursday, it looked like a tornado had swept through last night. Alice and I realized how awful it was so we decided to clean it up a bit. And as a reward, watched Bridesmaids afterwards. Unfortunately we both fell asleep during it and woke up after it had finished. I had trouble getting up because I was so comfy in my bed. Once I finally got myself up, Alice and I took a walk to the El Gran Café. She...
