Esta poniendo negro...

It's getting down to the wire... with only a week left with my friends here in madrid, i find myself trying to cram as much time in with them as i can. I keep going out with them and having dinners with them and now i am tired! I'm having some alone-ish time right now and i just keep thinking about how i want to go grab a coffee or something with SOMEBODY! i don't want to leave these people!

I still have two exams left, both on thursday. this means i can't pick my parents up from the airport, but four of my friends have volunteered to go pick them up for me. four! and looking on the bright side... my parents are coming to see me! they've been having the best time for the past two weeks in Tuscany and in some remote village in the Swiss Alps, and now i get to show them the country and culture i have grown to love. (yes, it took growing). My friends and i are having a going away/birthday party that my parents are coming to, so we'll see how that turns out. I think we'll all have a grrreat time. maybe more mojitos?(?)

one thing i'm looking forward to in the next year: having a bike!


i don't want to leave.

Can't Study (?)...

So here in Spain it is 12:16 a.m. and i have an oral exam tomorrow about Processes of Social Change. The class is extremely difficult (for the spaniards too!), so i'm having trouble getting myself motivated to study...

I'm waiting for the sun to come back out... maybe tomorrow? sick of all cloudy-rain-tease weather! silly deserts.

Cassidy introduced me to a new artist, named Laura Marling, after she went to a concert with the bf. (a concert of who? i don't remember... Laura is grrreat!) Here is a clip. i think she has a beautiful voice, and in some of her songs i'm getting a french-esk-type-of-music feeling. Hope you like her as much as i do! thanks cassafrass.











And here's a picture of the island i'm going to with Rocco. :)
