Here I am on my first road trip of the year. I am on the second flight. We went from Benidorm to Madrid and then from Madrid to the Canary Islands. I can not even express how freaking excited I was when I found out that we were going here. I am a huge dork for anthropology and things and these islands are famous for Darwins major findings in evolution. We had a really great week of practice. It is always a fun experience getting to know new people and surroundings. The coach is good and I like the way practice is run as a whole. The girls are all really nice and I love the 3 other American girls. My roomie is ah-mazing as well. We have a few mutual friends and both enjoy reading, coffee, Irish Pubs, (of course we already found one, my favorite part being they all speak english and even sing some country songs! haha) dancing, movies, and food.
Our apartment is perfect. We don't have hot water, internet, or a dryer (we have to hang out all our clothes to dry from strings on our porch), but we make it work. It is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath apartment on the 2nd floor of a 4 story place. We each have our own room with a full bed and the "guest" bedroom has a twin trundle. Who wants to come visit??? :) We have a tv smaller than my computer screen and cable that has 34 amazing channels ALL in spanish.....thank goodness I was able to bring about 30 movies with me. We live within walking distance of everything we would need including the gym. We are "far" away from the other American girls, but it is only a 5 euro taxi ride. We try to go there a few times a week because they have internet currently. I will put up pictures eventually......if I can figure it out. haha
I am having a hard time adjusting to the time change, this is mostly my fault though because I wake up really early (usually between 230am-5am) and will stay away until practice at 9am then come home and take a nap. If I could just stay awake during the day I would make it a whole lot easier on myself. I really wish we had internet at the house because me being awake around 4-6am my time is a good time to skype back in the states. Its frustrating but also makes me really excited when I DO get to skype with people.
I just finished my 2nd book since getting here. Again just finished it, which gave me time on the flight to write this blog. Priorities. I have a hard time putting a book down once I start. The just finished "The Host" which was written by the same lady who wrote "Twilight". I am sure I have a few haters out there reading this, but The Host was completely different from Twilight. It was very interesting and unlike anything I have read before. I am going to need more books if I keep reading at this rate.
hmmm what else can I tell you....I cant think of much. I will be sure to take a lot of pictures and post them on the book (facebook) as soon as I can.
I miss my family and friends but I think the months will fly by especially when they set dates to come visit me. It will give me something to look forward too.
