same 'ol

This past week has been pretty uneventful. Last weekend we stayed in Santiago, I'm trying not to spend as much money this month because last month was outrageous. The nights are getting pretty repetitive here, bar til 3 or 330, discoteca til 7 or so haha. I still like it, but I'm very excited for Madrid next weekend. We are going on a pub crawl in the city and then sunday to a real madrid game. Drinking and soccer (in Spain), what else could I ask for!!! Last Thursday Aimee and I booked our flights to London for the break we have in March. I am SO excited. We also booked our Harry Potter tour, which may be the best thing I do while Im in Europe haha. Booking this trip also made me realize how ridiculously weak the dollar is. Its killing me over here, 1.75 US dollars is 1 pound in England. Like I said, KILLING ME. But thats ok, I figure this is once in a lifetime chance. I decided to splurge and go ahead and spend the money to go to Rome as well. We are planning to go at the beginning of April, Im pleased with that decision. Last Saturday my family was out of town and it was so great, I did whatever I wanted in the house, Becky came over and we watched the Real Madrid game it was so fun. Then I realized that we have no microwave in this place because we were going to make popcorn. No microwave, and no toaster, so strange. My mom sent me a package with MOUNTAIN DEW in it last saturday. I cannot explain how excited I am to recieve that. Im not completely sure where its going to end up once it gets here but hopefully I find it haha.
Usually there are these 3 huge dumpsters outside my front door to the apartment building I live in. So today I was walking home and I realized that I was at the end of my street and I was so confused, so then I realized that they moved the dumpsters and that was my only real way of knowing which door was mine haha. So I had to like peer into the doors to figure it out. Its pretty ridiculous, but at least now I know. And my host family thought it was pretty funny when I told them so at least they got some entertainment for the day.
Today we had a class activity going to a museum and I realized that I really dont like art that much and I mostly dont understand it at all haha. Some things looked like scribbles that took 30 seconds and it was supposively famous artwork, definitely not my thing. On Tuesday we had volunteering again, let me just say that it is NOT working out. First off we walked in and no one acknowledged our presence. Then they pretty much told us they dont need us. Im probably going to stop going because its seriously so unorganized and kind of a waste of time because we dont do anything while we are there but watch kids do their homework in Gallego (its not like we can help). However, I really enjoy my internship it has been great so far. I think that my spanish is getting better and I'm starting to feel better speaking it. 3 more months!!! Hopefully they slow down, miss you all in the states! take care.
