No pasa nada

Hola amigos. The weeks are passing fast and i cant believe its already february tomorrow. Nothing super interesting happened last week. We had a group activity wednesday night we watched a movie and had tapas afterwards. the movie was pretty good but it was scary. i actually followed alot of it, but thats because they had subtitles and even though they were in spanish it is easier for me to read things rather than hear them sometimes. With that said, i think my spanish is getting better, but who knows haha. Last weekend we went to Ourense, a small city close to here by train. It was really nice there. However, before we left we booked hotel rooms for friday night but when we got there the hotel was like really far out of the city lol. So we just had a hotel party friday night. We definitely learned a bit about traveling. Ourense has natural hot springs. So on Saturday we went to one of those, and they were amazing. We relaxed all day in them, but us girls noticed that people in spain are NOT embarassed to stare. In the United States if you get caught staring it is kind of rude and embarassing. HOWEVER, HERE they do NOT look away if you catch them. Its very creepy and i did not like it lol. And thats EVERYWHERE not just at the hot springs where we were in our bikinis. This weekend i was forced to speak spanish becasue 3 students from brazil came with us and they know portugese and spanish but no english, so that was actually very good for me to speak more spanish but challenging. Ourense was beautiful but of course ive spent too much money so i wont be traveling again until we go to madrid next month. Which im very excited for! I have my first exam on Wednesday and another next Monday so hopefully that goes well. I feel more relaxed here than I do at home, obviously due to the culture and I dont worry as much. Which is the title of this blog, no pasa nada, it basically means dont worry. This phrase is used constantly here and I feel like its the theme of their culture haha. Pictures are on facebook if your interested. Because i still cannot figure out how to add them on here. hope all is well! besos!!
