Hello!
How was your weekend? My weekend was so good! It began on Thursday night with drinks, Friday was spent doing my normal Friday thing (plus an intercambio at a cafe) and then a farewell dinner with Annie and Kristen. Annie left for the U.S on Saturday morning, so we had dinner at Lateral and drinks at La Surena. Then Netflix and sweatpants… Saturday, I had two goals. Exercise and go shopping. Check and check. Saturday night, went out to dinner again, which was great as per usual. Sunday, I had no plans so Kristen and I went shopping for a bit, I cooked some food for the week, and then watched 3+ hours of Netflix. Ah, life. That brings us to right now, Monday. Done school, about to nap, and after a one hour lesson, Kristen and I are goin’ dancin’!
Because….
Today is the first day of Christmas Break!!!! It doesn’t feel all that exciting since I only worked 3 hours today. It technically started today, but felt like it started on Thursday. Either way, I am so, so, so thrilled to have a weeks off! Away from children! 🙂
So here are 5 things I am hoping to do this Christmas break! (In no particular order)
1. Spend a lot of time with MOM AND DAD!!!!!!! They’re coming to visit and will be here in T-minus 5 days. I can’t wait to be a little tour guide for them! Wish Leland could join us as well, but hopefully on the next trip!
2. Travel. This goes with the whole parents visiting thing. But I hope we get to….Sevilla, Salamanca, Cordoba, Granada, Toledo and Segovia.
3. Eat churros y chocolate and other pastries. I live in Spain. I live in Madrid. I have never had churros y chocolate or any other bakery pastry! Help.
4. Watch: Elf, The Polar Express, finish season 2 of Orange is the New Black. I have such a love/ hate relationship with OITNB. Right now I like it, but I’m hoping to get through it before I get bored again.
ALSO!!! If you haven’t heard!!! Netflix is coming out with TWO exciting series this year! They will be premiering Fuller House- a spin-off of Full House in late February of 2016 ANDDDDD they will be releasing four 90-minute episodes (movies, essentially) of Gilmore Girls! I AM SO EXCITED and my life is so sad.
5. See Sol on New Years or around Christmas. I think it will be absolutely insane and probably the closest I’ll ever get to being in Times Square on New Year’s.
