Malaga Weekend

well 6am and 615am turned into 645am and me being rushed to make sure I had everything. I met Alli at the bridge and we walked to the bus station. When we got to the bus station, we saw Carrie and sat with her. Then Cheyenne, Elise, Madi and Jessica walked in. We got our tickets from Elise and waited by our bus stop. Well the bus was about 20-25minutes late and we were like "Where is the frickin' bus" but then it cam and we were pleased. We ended up putting the food and some of the bags that everyone had under the bus. I just brought my bag on board with me. I ended up sitting with Madi on our way to Malaga. They played a movie on the tv...an English movie but in Spanish. So we watched that and then just kind of stared outside the window for a bit. Some girls on the bus were well...LOUD and Annoying. We could hardly hear the movie (and we had headphones). People were staring at them and they still didn't get the message. The bus ride was about 2.5hrs. Not too bad. Once we arrived in Malaga...we had to find the local buses so we had to ask at information desk and we went to go find our bus. We had to take two buses to get to our hostel, The Melting Pot. We had a little trouble to figure out what second bus to take but we figured it out after asking locals...we were using our SPANISH (go us).

We finally arrived at our hostel, and it was really cute..Alli did awesome!!! We couldn't check in until 2pm so we left our stuff in a corner on the patio and went to the beach :) I had to rent a towel because I don't have a beach towel and then we went to the beach. We were right by the beach so it was not a long walk for us. The beach was so nice...i loved it :) We were there for a bit until 2pm. We kept getting into the Meditteranean Sea so we could cool off. It was freezing but it was really nice after. Around 2, we settled into our room...we were all together so that was nice. After we walked around a little bit and got some food for our dinner that we were making. We walked some more just to see what was going on but then we headed back to the beach. Around 6pm we all got ready and showered and into comfy and regular clothes. We met some really cool people at the hostel...they were from all over (France, Canada, Netherlands, Australia, South Africa, Italy). We made friends, we all ended up watch the Spain vs France game and we were drinking together, chatting, smoking some shisha (to us USA people its Hookah). It was so much fun. We ended up going to some beach party after the game and we hung out with the locals..it was a good time...minus the walk back to the hostel..that was long!!!

The next day we had to check out at 11:30am. But our bus ticket back was not til later, so we were able to keep our stuff at the hostel and we each did our own thing. Cheyenne, Elise, Carrie decided to walk around and look around Malaga and the rest of us decided to go to the beach and get some more rays!!!! I LOVE the SUN!!!! Well Jessica left us a little early because she had a lunch date with one of the people we met...his name is Jerome and he is french. Really nice guy. We caught some rays and then Alli, Madi and I went to get some food at a little cafe on the beach. We had a lot of seafood, it was good. We also talked about lots of things and just had a good time. After we went back to the hostel and chilled. We played some cards, mingled with the people and just relaxed. It was a good time. Around 630 we all met up and decided to head over the the bus station so we could find out were we were going to be meeting the bus and yay. Instead of dealing with buses, we got two taxis. I love how the Spaniards drive...reminds me of those in Peru!!! Cheyenne, Carrie Alli and I were in one taxi and Elise, Madi and Jessica were in the other. Well our taxi driver took us to the right station while the other taxi driver took the other girls somewhere else.  When we finally got together. we got a small thing to eat because we knew we were not going to be back in Sevilla until late. Jessica and I shared something small and talked about her date and it was good. When we were waiting for our bus, we saw one of our new friends Tom...waiting for his bus to Lisbon.  We chatted with him then we had to board our bus.  I sat with Alli and we just ended falling asleep for whole bus ride. We got back to Sevilla around 12:30 and back to my host house around 1pm. It took awhile to fall asleep but i did. I had a great time in Malaga!!!!

Recap: Friday

Friday: wasn't bad. My classes were small. Everyone decided to go on vaca and left Friday. This was the last weekend before Summer 1 people leave. I went to class and was getting anxious for Malaga with some sweet girls. In my marketing class, Taryn, Cortney and myself went to class and it was the 3 of us. Class was nice, we watched a movie and went out with our Professor for a drink. Cortney was getting hit on by one of the waiters. He made her a paper flower and put a spain flag on her arm. Even tos Spain was not playing til Saturday. Our prof bought us two rounds then we all parted ways. It was nice, our Prof is nice and we talked a lot and about different things. After I went home and met up with my host family at the door. They were coming back from grocery shopping and I helped carry things in and we ended up ordering pizza for dinner. Mom and Dad you should be proud because I ate olives and mushrooms on it...i ate it. After that I just went to bed and set my alarms for Malaga...6am and 6:15am,,Cant wait for Malaga

Jueves

WELL!!! Thursday...was just an ordinary thursday with a quiz in my class and nothing much haha I was quite sleepy and did not get up when I set my alarm and slept in a bit more. It was so nice but I did not want to go to class. I am not sure if it's the heat or just my body telling me to sleep. Well i did go to class and then i slept in the library (2.hrs) on a very uncomfortable couch. I then walked back with Madi and Jessica and we talked a bit. I came back and ate some yummy food then after i went to go sleep. I was passed out for about 2.5hrs. I swear this week has been nothing but feeling tired. I woke up around 5:15 and headed to school. It was terribly hot so i got a small cup of limon sorbet and went to class. We had a quiz in my class and i did quite well. Now just gotta review for final and do project with Cortney and Taryn and Summer 1 is DONE!! Most of our class is going to be gone on Friday so we are going to have a shortened class and very few of us. This will be fun!!! Afterwards, I came back, at dinner with the fam and watched Portugal vs Czech Republic and Portugal Won. If Spain wins against France, Spain will be playing Portugal next.. Germany plays tomorrow and they are the favored team. We will see how it goes...i just want to be laying on a beach in Malaga...oh saturday get here soon!!!

Martes y Miercoles

So Tuesday and Wednesday....nothing really big happened...they haven't been as good as my Monday was but they were decent. Tuesday was just ordinary day and that's about it. We had the chance to visit Los Setas in Sevilla. They are called the Mushrooms because they look like mushrooms. These setas are built on top of an old market roman market which was turned into the medina after the romans and is today still a market.  The figure is all made out of wood. It's crazy because it looks like its metal. You can go to the top of it and see all of Sevilla. It is pretty cool.  We took tons of pics and had fun. After Madi, Alli, Jess and I went to go get something small for dinner. We ordered some tapas and shared and talked. They are nice girls. We talked about a lot, we are also excited for our trip this weekend to Malaga. Should be fun. It was nice then i skyped with Phi and we talked bout what i have been doin here and how the mitten is doin.

On Wednesday...I did not want to get up at all. I was so sleepy. I slept an extra 45 minutes..I really did not want to go to class BUT i did. We got out of class early because our professor had a doctor. A few girls and I went to the cafe down the street to get some coffee (they did i got OJ) and some breakfast. Since I slept in I didn't have time to eat. So i got freshly squeezed OJ and toast. It was good and simple. At 11:30 i met up with some other people from the program and we went to go learn Flamenco...i knew it was going to be interesting. I have no coordination at all...explains why i swam most of my life, i just have to move arms, kick (def work on technique) but just swim back and forth in a pool. It was fun...kinda of got it down. we are doing same thing tomorrow but I am not sure if i'll go. We will see. After our dance lesson I went back to the house and took a 45min nap before lunch and than a 2.15hr nap after...i was so tired. My host mom thinks it's because of the heat. It is really hot here. Around 515 I left for class ... After our Marketing class i wallked back with Alli and we talked and such. We saw a protest going on and we decided to walk a different way just to avoid chaos. I came back and we had a dinner....i ate really light because I really don't get hungry when its hot outside I'd rather drink water and chill.

Those are recaps from Tues and Today. Everyone have a good day.
