My intercambio Rueben (native Valenciano who goes to the University of Valencia studying law, he’s learning English, I’m learning Spanish, we meet up and speak in both languages) invited me to a house party on Thursday night at the casa of one of his Canadian friends…a house party you say, in Europe?! Those certainly don’t happen very often. No, they don’t, and this wasn’t just any house party, this was a toga party. A toga party…in SPAIN, are you serious?! Yes I am…and now you ask, why didn’t I go to this super-rare toga house party in Spain to meet people who were there from all over the world like Germany, France, Switzerland, Holland, and of course, Spain?
I had three exams the next day…that’s why. :0(
So, I woke up on Thursday morning and wrote out my blogs for Monday through Wednesday, then headed out to the locutorio to call Mom and Dad. I had some nice chats with them, Mom just got back from her trip in the Bahamas and said she had a bit of a tan (it’s hard to tell on webcams) and Dad unfortunately didn’t get the chance to chat for too long because he had a big meeting at work, but it was nice to catch up regardless. Afterward I figured out a few things for when LAURA AND RAE RAE WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK and about when I go to Belgium to meet up with them and Melinda and Tom.
Then it was nose to the grindstone, and I studied until la cena. It’s really not quite as bad as it sounds since it was beautiful weather and I sat outside in the Río sipping on zumo de naranjas (orange juice) and reading in the sunshine. When the sun went down and it got too cold I headed inside. For la cena we had potato and carrot soup with pieces of fish in it and super-fresh, got out of the oven an hour before we ate bread. I studied until bed, and I sincerely hope this will be the last entry with this much studying involved until finals.
