1. No me gustan pajaros. The stupid pigeons here literally seek me out and on purposely try to make me step on them before they explore in my face, making me scream in front of Spaniards.
2. My two year old roomie, Delek, has just discovered the phrase "es mio." This sadly means "it's mine." Now he screams this constantly along with his enormous vocabulary of "SOY DELEK" (im delek), and "adios." We have very interesting conversations.
3. I've started to get sick over the past week (I'm currently sitting at home on a Saturday night because I'm for realz sick) and my host madre continously shoves jengibre (ginger) down my throat. She's positive it cures all and constantly serves me this ginger tea that literally makes my lungs feel like they're on fire. So far - still coughing.
4. There's a pair of boots that live en el centro de Sevilla and they belong on my feet. Tommorow, MEEH shops are closed tommorow....Monday, I will be reunited with my fine leather friends and we will live happily ever after.
5. There's a delicious thing called churros here that are like fried dough and you dip in chocolate sauce. We like to go to a little bar by our apartments for churros at night. We figured the strange looks were because we're American (everyone stares at us...however once I have my boots I will blend 100%) but no...Spaniards only eat churros for breakfast. My bad.
6. My host madre continiously asks me why I'm not fat. She now puts all the plates by me and automatically puts all leftovers on my plate. I was surprised by how much I liked the food in Spain but I didn't know I was that bad. I'm not sure if she likes that I eat so much because it compliments her cooking...or if she hates me for it. According to Carmen I'm going to be enormous by the time I leave. woorrth itt
7. No one here can say my name. AT ALL.
8. There was a cockroach in our apartment. I didn't enjoy that. Don't worry, my roommate Kara decapitated it with a cup.
me having a mental breakdown over roach. please notice the cup on the floor in the background and the roach's demise.
9. People here run into you if you don't get out of their way.
10. I eat SOOO MUUCCH BREAAADDD AND CHEEESEEE. i love it.
11. My bike card has still not come and it upsets me.
12. All of my classes are in Spanish and I sort of feel guilty for wanting to drop Flamenco and pick up something else. But I'm gonna.
13. I just booked a flight to the Canary Islands for the end of February. LALALALALAAAAA
14. All students here (including the Spaniards) drink outside of this place by the river called Torre de Oro (because in Spain it's illegal to drink in the streets UNLESS your by the river....bahahaha who thinks of that?). So all the American students stop by the grocery store and buy $0.79 giants bottles of beer or wine in a box (that's actually only for cooking...i don't think they're aware of that). Then the Spaniards come along with their own glasses, mixers, and alcohol and then proceed to make actual pretty little drinks and parade around us all classy like with their perfect hair and make us look stupid. Rude. They beat us in everything. The woman can even wear 5" heels while walking on VERY uneven terrain. I struggle in my shit kickers (but obviously once I have my new boots I'll be able to hande anything).
in front of the torre del oro during on of our first nights in sevilla (notice boxed wine and uneven terrain)
16. One of the students here had their first intercambio and brought him to a bar with the rest of the american students. He proceeded to make out with ATLEAST two of our girls (not sure if they're aware of each other) and for unknown reasons, he now likes to hang out with us all the time.
17. We had a group of about 6 chicos follow us home last night that apparently live in our apartment complex. I kept thinking they'd give up but nooo they literally followed us to our door, then proceeded to bang on the elevator when we went up. I thought we were safe once I was up in the apartment but heard something that sounded like dying animals outside our balcony. Yes, they were singing to us. At first I thought that was sort of cute and funny....HOURS LATER ITS NOT.
18. The chicos here make this CHH CHH CHHH sound at your when they want your attention (it's sort of like whistling in the states), then if you ignore them they stop their feet. Because being called like a dog the first time wasn't enough....
19. I bought an adorbs romper for a lovely 5 euro.
20. One of my roommates talks to their dog on skype. alot.
21. IT'S TRUE! THEY DO SERVE BEER AT MCDONALDS.
