The past week...

So whats been going on in the past week?

Ummm, just alot of chilling. I've managed to get sick AGAIN, just about a week after I started to get better. ugh lame. I had to leave work early today beause I kept coughing my guts up and couldnt breathe because my nose is so blocked up. I went up to the hospital this afternoon to make an appointment with my doctor, so hopefully I can get something to clear this up so it wont come back again. Could possibly be hay fever though, because the weather here in Madrid is changing. I seem to get bouts of hay fever when weather changes.

I managed to finally make my way to the Japanese supermarket to buy some supplies. YUM. I'm going to make Japanese curry in the next couple of weeks. I've missed it so. As expected, the supermarket was small and just as expensive as in Australia.

Last Friday I went out with Taelyr, who lives in the apartment directly across from mine, and another friend Ruth who I had met a couple of weeks previously while applying for a NIE. We went around some shops to look at the last of the rebajas. I managed to spend almost 50 Euros at Stradivarius (oops). A new coat, top and scarf. When we decided that there wasn't much going on in the shops atm, we went to a place where you could get wee little baguette sandwiches for only 1 Euro each and fries with lots of sauces for like 2, 50 Euros. Drinks were also cheap. 1 Euro for a beer and 1,50 for tinto de verano (which is basically a simple form of sangria. Red wine and soft drink, usually lemonade but you can also have fanta etc).

Later that night myself, Ruth, Taelyr, Emely, Tetyana, Brittany and Sarah went out for mexican food in Chueca. It was awesome. I totally forgot how much I love nachos with guacamole.

The next day was a relaxing day. Just chilling, because that night was a party which Isabel was holding at the apartment. People from the apartment building were invited, and it was such a fun time. Spanish people really know how to have a good time. Lots of food, dancing, drinking and talking. I had the chance to improve my Spanish which was great. I chatted to many different people, danced HEAPS, ate heaps and drank heaps. The next day I slept in until 4:30pm. Hahaha. tired.

If I think of anything else I'll put it up, but that it for now, especially since I'm coughing my guts up. ughh.

Hasta luego! xxxx
