Finally, Saturday! Being back at school again, I really start to appreciate the weekends again and being able to sleep in!

So today I went to the beach (la Playa) with my host mum and we walked to the end of a Jetty type thing and just looked out onto the ocean. We were later met by my host dad who took lots of photo (photography is a hobby of his) and then went out to lunch at a restaurant on our street (I think it belongs to my host brother's friend (Paco) dad)

Later that evening, I went to Vialia and Larios, all by myself! They're two huge shopping centers (kind of like Marion). This was kind of exciting because I'm still not 100% on the bus systems, so figuring it out made me a little proud! While shopping, I bought coats (its been so ridiculously cold, and I didn' bring many winter clothes with me, as it was summer in Australia when I left), more p.e clothes and some toiletries. I've been spending so much money lately, and its all been on essential items as well! oh well, I like shopping here, I have a feeling I will be spending a lot more money in the coming months (just a warning mum!)

Anyway, I do have some pictures of today, but not on this computer, so I shall post them another day! Adios Amigos!

My last day of school for the week, today nothing particularly interesting happened while at school, but maths, gym and geography all in the morning, such terrible planning haha

However, that night it was Alejandro's (Mystiah's host brother) birthday party, and they had hired out a club for it (i think it was called Momo's, I can't remember) So I went to meet Cami at Centro so we could go to Mystiah's house. Before going to Centro however, I went food shopping at Correfour and oh my, it was amazing. Huge shops are definitely a trend in Spain, it was ridiculously large and they had everything. We definitely don't have supermarkets like this in Australia. To give you an idea of how big it was, the check out workers got around on roller blades, it was crazy.

Anyway, so after food shopping we headed to Mystiah's house and got ready. Although the party started at 12, I'm still going to count it as Friday night. Kara met us at the club and I got to meet Lucia, who had been in a motorcycle accident the same day, and still came! girl is a trooper. Anyway, some photos (which someone else took haha)

Not even half the crowd

Aren't I so photogenic?

Anyway, it was a really fun night, we all danced and watched a really drunk girl vomit all over the couch/floor, which was quite unpleasant haha, but it was really good and there were a lot of hilarious moments. It ended roughly around 4am, so we all went back to Mystiah's house to sleep. My first Spanish fiesta! I enjoyed it a lot :D

I'm still getting used to being at school for six hours a day after I spent so long on holidays after year 12 finished. Anyway, today I had,

Maths
Religion
Philosophy
___________
Break
___________
Economy
Geography
P.I

Wednesdays are definitely my favourite weekday, purely because I don't have gym class (I still can't believe I have it 4 times a week, this is definitely some bad karma for me). Wednesdays are also the only day I have religion, which is essentially a study period, as we all just sit and chat, and P.I, which is like a special project class? Like students will do presentations and books reports, I still don't fully understand it. Today however, we missed out on economy because we had a university lecturer come and talk to us about the art program (I think), it was kinda boring, and I accidentally fell asleep (nothing has changed too much in that respect I guess), but apparently it wasn't only just me, so thats good I guess!

After school, I went out with my host brother Javi and his friend Paco and another friend (I can't remember his name to save my life) to el Corte Ingles, which is a huge shopping centre chain (I've seen at least three so far) and are all about the same size, or bigger than marion, one is like six stories. Anyway, we were at Corte Ingles because Paco had to buy a mac, so while they were doing that I looked around for a bit, its so huge! Marion is going to look so tiny when I get home. Anyway, I had a really good time, I still haven't been able to talk to Javi much yet because my spanish is so bad, but hes really, really nice and I promised to teach him English haha!

Anyway, that is all for today, sorry the past few days have been so photo lacking, I'll try and take some more soonish so its not just text all the time!

Today was my second day at school, and like the first, I still had no clue what was going on most of the time. As I'm not actually doing any work in classes at the moment, I usually just translate words and try and memorize them. Gym is really the only class I do work in. At the moment we're preparing for 'Dia Mundial de la paz juegos' which basically translates nto universal day of the peace games. At the moment we're making posters, Cami and myself are making one for 'voleibol gigante' or giant volleyball. Anyway, today's classes.

After dinner, I went with my host dad to a huge shopping center/the train station called Vialia. I had to buy a backpack for school, as I didn't have one. We also looked around a bit at the shops, because I also need to buy some more clothes (there was very few winter-y clothes available in Australia, I also didnt bring any gym clothes), although I didn't actually buy anything because I've already organised t go shopping with Cami, Mystiah and Kara on the weekend, I did however have a good look at the shops, and I can say I will very much enjoy European shopping and expect to return to Australia really, really poor ;D
