the weeks go by too fast

i guess i should be used to this by now. my OTHER roommate is now leaving as well! he just told me yesterday and he's leaving this weekend. but i think there are two girls moving in now. i actually just met the girl that's taking over the other girl's room here. her name is silvia and she is an english teacher! how cool is that? she's excited she can speak english with me haha. and i was telling her how i would love to come over here and teach english and she said i would have a job in a split second, especially in the area we live right now! she said she teaches about 10 minutes away from our apartment. she's really nice and young and said she will go out with me sometime.

school has been good. this week is busy. i have a paper due next week and i don't really know what i'm doing. bah. it's still fun to listen to everyone speaking english, the spanish people anyway. when they say words that start with S, they say them like "estrange" or "esport." not like e-strange, but es. and when we do presentations and the kids put up powerpoint slides, sometimes their sentences are all mixed up. because i think between english and spanish, the structure is the opposite. so they will have things with like the verbs and the nouns mixed up or the adjectives in the wrong place. it's entertaining though. they also say their V's like B's in spanish, so i don't really understand what the point is of having a V. why not just make all the words have the B instead?

i have been going out with a lot of new people and it's so much fun. exhausting though! i hate it because there's so many different groups of people that i'm always bombarded by invites (that sounds snooty i know) and sometimes i just want to stay home and take a break! and now spend money!!! but then i want to make friends and i want to hang out with these people so it's hard to say no.

i think this weekend i'm going to the barca game because it's super cheap. they are playing malaga, another city in spain, and they aren't that popular so that's why it's not expensive. but then i was talking to people at school and i feel like the entire international crew is going! it will be insane. i hope it's good. everyone says it's one of the most exciting things to do here.

the weather is getting unbelievable nice and i cannot wait to go to the beach!!! it's been beautiful out and no coat needed. i'm ecstatic ;)

the euro is at it's most lowest point right now :/ good for me because the exchange rate is now suuper low. it's weird though, i'm not used to it! someone was asking me how the crisis is in the states and i was telling them it's terrible but they said there's no way it's even close to here, it' can't be that bad over there!

well my plan is to stay in tonight but who knows what will come up! it's still early...
