i need to try these goat cheese salads i'm seeing everywhere

i have had complaints, i apologize. but i really have nothing exciting going on. well okay of course i do, but it just all sounds the same in every post so i figured it would be boring.

some cool things that happened this weekend:

~twice when i was out walking at night to go into a friend's apartment, i met people. just randoms on the street. one just said hi and we were talking and the other asked me where something was and we talked too. and they both asked for my number and said, "maybe we can be friends." they always say that here! maybe we can be friends, or companions. too funny! that would never happen in Florida.

~i read something in French and understood it. and not just one sentence! i was in shock, i didn't even realize i was reading it until i stopped. and then it hit me and i was in disbelief. it was something on a website i was researching with a friend for school.

~i went to a birthday party this weekend and it was a Mexican Christmas party as well. they call it "Posada," where they celebrate the day of pilgrimage of Joseph and Mary when they were looking for lodging. in Mexico they have this huge celebration for it, and the girl whose birthday it was is Mexican, along with all her roommates. so we sang these songs they always sing and they had printed out the words for everyone!

~i've turned into one of them and have found myself munching on a plain loaf of bread as i stroll down the street...

i wanted to go away this weekend because i had a full four days off (!!!) and on sunday i was supposed to go with some friends to a city south of here, but of course it didn't happen because they never gave me details and i haven't talked to them since. and then this weekend there's a ski trip in Andorra that is only 120 Euros for lodging, food, skiing, and entrance to two clubs. so i asked if anyone wanted to go and no one is responding. TYPICAL!  i am just going to wait for spring and then go to the countries where i know people are already living so i can just go by myself. it's really frustrating because i want to go everywhere!

i am now listening to Spanish music because i have heard many people say they learned a lot of English just from the music. so we'll see! i wasn't too excited about it but i actually found a fun station ;) it's weird because in all the clubs we go to all the music is English. unless it's salsa night or something. but i guess all the Spanish stars need to go to America if they want to become really famous.
