So here is where you get a list of random stuff I have seen/done/found out in the past 3 months:
- I sound like a Gran Canarian person whenever I say "mas o menos", "adios" or "gracias" thanks to miguel my flatmate.
- I have a friend named Inmaculada and my tandem partner (for conversation) is called Belen (which mean Immaculate and Bethlehem respectively).
- I still find it hilariously amusing when anyone says "Jesus me dijo" "Vi a Jesus" "Jesus me pregunto" or anything involving Jesus because it sounds like people are having delusions about the son of god talking to them...
- Thanks to Rach's mexican flatmates I now cannot use the word "coger" in the peninsulan sense.
- My spanish improved then I had to start doing work for uni...now it's worse than before.
- People LIE about ERASMUS, you do have to work and you DON'T have enough money to drink.
- People do not automatically hate you when you speak castillian in Barcelona, however they do give you the evils in Valencia if you dare utter the word "catalan" when referring to their "language".
- Whenever I try and leave Valencia for France my plane is delayed, by at least an hour, meaning that everything suddenly becomes 50 zillion times harder.
- Vueling is not "a l'heure"...EVER
- It's fun to confuse check in staff by speaking to them in French, then handing them a ticket to Spain with an English Passport.
- I miss London so much it hurts.
- I dance like I'm gay (which then leads to me getting asked out by a girl even though I'm the only pretty much straight person in the group).
- My best friend and I will still buy junk food, watch crap TV and dye each others hair even if we only see each other for 2 days in a hotel.
So I spent the past couple of days in Barcelona with Nena and DiazArri who were kind enough to let me and my friend sam stay with them for the night. Unfortunately we kind of missed them in the morning because we had to leave and get a bus and we wanted to see the Sagrada Familia (which i have probably spelt completely wrong there) before we went. If either of you read this Lo siento muuuuchisimo de nuevo, espero que no penseis que estoy mal educado!
The weekend before I went to Paris to see Dan, finally! It was a fucking nightmare as always, seriously 100% of the times I've tried to get to Paris from here my flight has been delayed by an hour or more...I'm starting to think that someone doesn't want me to go...anyway I made it, found out that you can get to Gare du Nord from Charles de Gaulle at 12:30am but it takes you about an hour and a half on a bus...and I am never again staying in Meudon La Foret! it's in the middle of bloody nowhere, Taxi drivers don't even know where it is ffs! still it was a good weekend...and god I missed her so much...
Only 5 days and I'm starting my trek home...seriously, I think I make things harder for myself...like booking a plane from Alicante instead of taking one from VLC because it means I can go home a day earlier for cheaper, but I still have to get to Alicante....ah well
Picture time
Strange as it may sound, I think I may miss Valencia over Christmas.
