Hi everyone! I haven't got an awful lot to say about the past couple of weeks, only that I've had a good time. There have been quite a few fiestas, one of note is the reggae party hosted by some italians in a nightclub. So. Much. Fun!!! I also spent this past weekend at the country house of a friend who works in the international office at the uni.
It was her birthday last week so she had a barbecue to celebrate. It was so good! I haven't had steak for so long! The people who turned up to party were great too, although my favourite has to be the little dog. He was one of those handbag-sized dogs and is called Toy. Yes, in english. WHAT AN AWESOME NAME!!!
We also saw a flock of sheep, which is not in itself unusual, except for the fact that I haven't seen sheep for months and one had (as in gave birth to) a lamb about 20m from the gates while we were watching. It's so out of season but who cares? So cute! I love lambs! It was also interesting for me to watch the sheepdogs, as we don't have dogs at home. The farmer was talking on a cellphone and the dogs knew exactly what to do without instructions. They kept the sheep from wandering onto the road until the farmer was ready to move on. Fascinating.
Oooh, I got a letter from Natalie yesterday!!! Just sayin'.
The next couple of weeks are going to be amazing. This Sunday I am going to Italy for two days to visit Giulia, with whom I lived last semester. We will spend a day either in Venice or Milan. I am hoping for Venice but if it rains the water can get quite high, and seriously a day in Milan is not something to turn your nose up at! Then, at the end of next week there is a trip for international students to Granada! I signed up as soon as I heard about it. Included in the price is transport, accommodation, breakfast, and entry to the Alhambra. Two nights. Not bad for 75 euros!! I am looking forward to meeting people from the other three campuses too.
Also I have FINALLY sorted out what I'm doing for Christmas! I'm going to France!!!!!!! Some of you may remember Ana (Anaelle), who lived with us for a year in NZ? I left home to go to uni halfway through her stay. Anyway, I get to spend Christmas with her and her family in Nantes and I'm so excited. Also relieved, because I was very lonely the only other time I've spent Christmas in Europe.
So. That's me. I'll write a better blog entry once I've done all that traveling. See you in a couple of weeks!
