Cocinando II

Hey, hey! How was your weekend?  Mine was a good one!  Relaxing, too productive, and fun.  I have a small cold, so I have been laying low, trying to get better.  Friday, I went with my roommate to do this voice recording this for an hour (hey 30 Euro) and then went to Retiro with […]

The Great Relaxer Hunt: RESULTS!

**If you don’t want to see a bunch of selfies of me, then exit this post now (Ollin…) and I will see you tomorrow, maybe..maybe not.** A few weeks ago, I went on The Great Relaxer Hunt here in Madrid.  After two impossibly long weeks of waiting, I FINALLY had my hair done at Corte […]

Cocinando.

Ah Sunday.  It was just Friday, wasn’t it?  This weekend went way too quickly, but that means it was a good one. 🙂 Last time we chatted, it was Friday and I was off to run a bunch of errands.  I did all of that, taught a private lesson, stopped at Cien Montaditos (I do […]

The Great Relaxer Hunt.

Good morning friends! I am blogging from school since I actually have a bit of a long break today (1.5 hours).  Yesterday the principle realized that my schedule on Tuesdays and Wednesdays is incorrect and instead of being here from 9:20-1:20, I should be here from 10:20-2:20.  Actually, on Wednesdays, instead of coming to their […]

Run Retiro, Run

Good Morning/Afternoon! I am live blogging from a little coffee shop in Lavapies! I needed to get out of the house- it’s small and quite dark and I think my host mom has a mild case of the hoardies.  But she is super nice, so that’s all that matters 🙂 Besides going to get dinner […]

Happy Sunday and Happy Easter if you celebrate in your neck of the woods! My family doesn’t celebrate Easter (but we do celebrate Passover and I am still full from last night’s Seder (click the link to learn about seders!).  Or maybe I’m full because I’ve been picking at e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g I’ve made for this week’s […]

Sunday Food Preppin’

Happy Sunday! This weekend has been oddly productive!  Not only did I spend a good 5 hours getting homework and to-dos done yesterday (after a 4 hour nap, of course), but I was awake at 7:30 this morning!  Since I was feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I used the extra time for some food prep.  I’m […]

When You Know You Shouldn’t Be a Heart Surgeon

Not that I was ever, ever, EVER considering that.  I like sitting down, and eating often, and sleeping regularly. This semester, bio has taken a turn for the interesting and we are learning a lot of anatomy and physiology, starting with dissecting a pig heart in lab on Wednesday. We examined the outside, cut the […]

Fitness Friday 1/15/2015

It’s been weeks…okay, months, since I have made any mention of exercise on this little blog of mine.  BHUT!  That doesn’t mean I haven’t been movin’ and groovin’ along all this time.  I guess I haven’t written about the gym/ exercise all that much because my workouts have felt uninspired and repetitive.  Think: a lot […]
