Granada

The past week has been pretty low key around here, just been going to school, dance class & hanging around Baradas. I really wanted to get out of Madrid for the weekend so we got a few people together and took the bus to Granada.

It was a really fun weekend, we stayed in a hostel right across the street from the Alhambra which was a pretty cool location because it was less than a 15 minute walk to the center of the town where everything else was. Our hostel situation was pretty funny, it was Kay, Kristen, Max, Tommy and a new friend from school Raul all in this little room with a set of bunk beds, 2 smaller beds and one full size bed. It was funny but we made it work.

On the first day of our weekend adventure we explored downtown. I went into a bunch of different little shops that had lots of different arab trinkets and stuff like that. I got a cute pair of earrings. Later on we got boxes of wine and drank on the streets then went to a hookah bar.
Yesterday we did a lot of exploring, we  went up to the gypsy caves, but they were closed. The main attraction was obviously the Alhambra which was absolutely gorgeous. The best part of the weekend though was the picture we took at the Alhambra. They had this little store that was taking professional dress up pictures like the ones they have in the US where you dress up like old fashion cowboys and indians, but here you dress up like arabs.... I have never laughed so hard in my entire life.
Last night I was not feeling too good I know I am getting sick , no bueno. but we went out for dinner and went to another hookah bar then went to bed so we could wake up for our 8am wakeup call to truck back to Madrid.

This week is the beginning of Mid terms, I am absolutely dreading this. I can't get myself to do any work or concentrate on studying. Oh welll...
On tuesday Andria & I are going to the Mike Posner concert! that's something to look forward too besides the midterms I have on wednesday.

Mommy's coming this weekend! I am so excited. I can't wait to see her and finally get out of Baradas for a week. My back has been killing me from the beds, they are absolutely horrendous, I can't fall asleep at night because I am in so much pain.

I am extremely tired right now so instead of studying or doing homework I'm going to take a nap or go to bed.
