Not sure if I can keep up. It's been about 3 weeks since I've arrived in Madrid and I'm definitely getting my ass kicked. I love it here though and I try to keep up, but this lifestyle is intense. 8 am classes and quizzes the first week, discotecas until 6 am, dinner at 9 everynight, alcohol all the time, necessary siestas, walking everywhere.. the list goes on and on. it's exhausting. I feel like by the time I get used to this way of life it will be time to head back home to los Estados Unidos. (Where Bojangles and Chipotle await me<3)
But enough complaining. I'm a trooper. They don't call me coach sebash for nothing. I will survive my time here in Madrid and I will love every freakin second of it. I mean whats not to love? No class on Friday, three day weekend, discotecas until 6 am, delicious food prepared by my host madre por gratis, legal drinking age, necessary siestas, walking everywhere, the ability to travel whenever I feel like it.. What more could I need? Well, if only they had sweet tea here then I would be completely set. But either than that, I do love it and I will look back on these 4 months as the most exciting and craziest 4 months ever.
The first week of school is over and it's already a three day weekend. Today is Friday and I spent the day sleeping in until 1:30 pm, waking up and eating lunch with my host momma, chillin, going on an hour and a half run with Alexandra and getting incredibly lost in the city, and then playing pick up ball with the other guys in the program. Pretty good day I must say. Besides the getting lost part. The park we ran through was beautiful, except it's hugeeee. We ended up getting all turned around and running to the opposite side of the park and then tried to wander back home through random streets. Great adventure though.
Last night we went to a discoteca filled with international students because they were letting us all in for free. It's called Club Joy and it was a blast. Probably everyone from the Duke program was there and then every other American in Madrid. Need to have a low key night tonight to make up for it. But the low key ones always are the best anyways.. atleast you can remember what happens those nights.
Tomorrow Alexandra and I are going with our mom Carmen to a place outside of Madrid called Aranjuez. It is one of the royal estates of Madrid. We are meeting her in the morning at the train station and she is packing sandwiches to eat in the gardens at this beautiful place. I am so excited!! Spending quality time with our host mom :)
Pues, ahora es tiempo por Sangriaaaa. Hasta luego<3
