The Days Past

So, it has been awhile since I posted anything so I figured I better get on that. The last week has been really fun. We spend most of our evening exploring different bars and eating different kind of tapas and one of our favorite bars which we call "Wood Bar" is one of Granada's late night hot spots. It's there that I found Jesus actually... well not JESUS but "Hey-Sues" as he likes to tell my friends. He's a student at the university studying Spanish and wants to be a Spanish teacher in the united states. He pretty much kept me safe all night from all the creepy overbearing Spanish men in the bar and ended up walking Emily and I home, (though I was half ready to pull my knife on him if he turned out to be a bum). We ended up exchanging numbers and agreeing to meet up and hang out on my birthday.
I had my birthday on the 17th (my 21st nonetheless) and we ended up having a really good time. My friends and I went to a couple of tapas bars and had coffee and a couple drinks then went to a place called "The Chupateria". In Spanish Chupa is the word for shot, and that's exactly what it is, a shot bar. Jesus came with us and played guard dog again making sure nothing happened to any of the girls in our group, or the guys for that matter. After that we went to wood bar and then Granada 10 one of the discotecas in Granada. I would tell you more but honestly It was my 21st birthday, would you really expect me to remember much of it? I'll tell you what I do remember, I remember a GINORMOUS club with a lot of flashing lights, my friends watching my every move and Jesus keeping a hand on me at all times to make sure I was okay. He walked all the girls in our group home after and then we sat on the doorstep of my house and talked until 7am. Awesome new friend to say the least.
During the day in Granada I have intensive Spanish class. Half of the class is grammar and the other half is pronunciation. It's four hours a day and honestly, you want to die sometimes. The first teacher is really boring, sits there, dictates, reads, asks a question or two then gives you homework. The second professor is hillllarrrious. She says biiiiiiiieeeeeeennnnn or buuuuueeeenooooo, constantly and likes to call me Tonta Sacha, which is the equivilent of calling me Stupid Sacha, but I don't mind because she's hilarious. We spend all day in that class just laughing and making jokes in Spanish, easiest way to learn I think.
We have a 2 week break before school actually starts to we are in the final processes of planning our trip. 11 of us are going from Madrid to Brussels, Brussels to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Dusseldorf, and Dusseldorf to Barcelona, and Barcelona to Granada. Madrid is all paid for but our plane tickets to the other places cost only a total of $110 american dollars. It is REALLY cheap to fly here especially during the winter.
I love everything about Europe!
