who needs washington d.c. when you live in sevilla, spain? oh! you didn't get the memo? sevilla is now the capital of america. yeah. we're taking over spain, it's official. i see more americans on the street than spaniards and i hear more english than in new york city. wtf?? first of all, i don't know that many people altogether but apparently every person i do know now lives within a 2 mile radius of me. my plans for leaving my comfort zone and not surrounding myself with americans is turning out to be extremely hard. ¡joder!
1. i was trying to find a gym yesterday to join (because, let's face it, 20 minutes to walk to the river to run- it just isn't going to happen) and i saw a girl wearing workout clothes, so i figured she was headed in that direction.
me: ¿Sabe dónde hay un gimnasio cerca de aquí?
her: I'm American.
me: oops. guess i'll speak english now.
2. went to a bar last night and saw 2 friends from Tufts alone, along with the 30 other americans on my program that were crammed into a corner. i might have heard 3 words in spanish the whole night. it's a little ridiculous.
oh well. so anyway, at this bar I basically drank liquid candy all night. something called agua de brasil. so delicious. some mixture of many types of alcohol, peach juice, and whipped cream (for those of you faithful readers who don't know this, it's my fave- just ask the lovely ladies of 143 college). i sipped on that for a while, made me pretty happy. then ended my night early. again. i really need to get into the spanish groove, just so i can say i stayed out until 6 AM. who knows if that'll ever happen.
This might be my last blog for a while. I have to start class tomorrow. apparently studying abroad isn't only about drinking, sleeping, and eating? this isn't what i signed up for....
viva la vida.
