Day 8??

I had my first taste of absinthe last night, and I have just one question: why? Why? Why would anyone want to ingest such a chemical? No, seriously, I'm asking. Why?? I just don't understand. After just one shot, I spent about 10 minutes in the bathroom waiting to vomit. Thankfully, I never did, but you can't be too safe. Seriously guys, today's travel tip is:

Travel Tip #4:
Don't drink the absinthe.



Okay, so things have settled down a bit. While we haven't started formal classes yet, we've gone on a few day trips to keep us busy. It's been, let's be real, kinda boring, but we've been able to spend a lot of time with the other international students, which is cool. You know what I heard? I heard that someone heard from someone that the school us Americans are going to is like the equivalent of an ivy league back in the states. I know, i know, it's such a reliable source, so it must be true. Ivy league or ECU, I'm in Spain and I would probably be taking the same A-for-effort-yay-you-spoke-Spanish type classes either way.

What else can I ramble about? I'm a bit cold. My señora keeps it cold in the apartment because I guess it's expensive to heat the place. I think it's going to rain later today. That would depress me if I were still in wilmington, but I'm not. I'm in Spain. It's still kind of unreal. I apologize if I seem a bit spacey, I'm still pondering why anyone of sound mind would willingly drink absinthe. It just doesn't make any sense. None at all.



Alright, everyone, tengan un buen dia. I think I'm going to find something productive to do with my day.
