Lookee meeee, I changed my keyboard layout to Spanish!! So now I can type all my languages properly. The only problem is I sometimes have to guess, hopelessly pressing several buttons before I actually arrive at the desired one, since my keyboard is UK layout, and all the punctuation, accents and stuff are in different places. I'm slowly learning though, I changed my desktop background to a picture of the Spanish keyboard to help me hahaha.
I've done quite a lot over the past two weeks, my friend from my uni in England moved here, so we've been going to see things in Lleida, and now I'm eating so much better cos we usually cook together. We had chicken and peppers and onions and fajita flavouring and nachos yesterday and it was sooooooooooo good!!! Riquísimo!
Last weekend we went to Barcelona! I never knew it was such a beautiful city. Literally everywhere you go there is something to see, some gorgeous building, a plaça, some sort of monument, it's just full of stuff! This stuff including, unfortunately, tourists... Which annoys me a bit. Everyone was speaking English too ¬_¬. Anyway we spent a lot of time in the gothic quarter and also went up to see Montjuïc Castle which was great.
Then we went to do a bit of shopping, and gosh, we nearly MISSED our train home. We really thought we weren't gonna make it and have to shell out for an AVE ticket. We were in the Plaça de Catalunya like, oh crap... we don't have much time do we¿? I was trying to be positive, but the metro seemed to stop for so long at each stop... five stops to go... four... three... two... and one... and we're at the station! Yay! We're totes gonna make it!
No.
What we didn't bargain for is a half a mile of underground walking to reach the actual train station from the metro stop. So when it says you're at Barcelona Sants, you're actually not. You're a half a mile away. Every. corner. we turned. there was more walking to do, we were paaaaanicking, like n iheoiarwhich WHICH WAY TO GO?¿?¿?¿¿?¿¿???
LUCKILY, we finally got there and made it with seconds to spare.
Whew.
If you're thinking of going to visit Barcelona the advice I would give you is DO GO. and also HOLD ONTO YOUR THINGS in the underground, not just on the metro, but when you get off and are in the underground too. Y no haría falta guardarlas mientras estás caminando por las calles también!
SÃO... my work situation is changing. I quit two classes and I have a new class where I teach four boys on Thursdays, two are 7, one is 8 and one is 5. The 5 year old is actually the best behaved and has amazing English for a 5 year old. It is a bit difficult working with four kids doing an oral class, but I'm managing it I think. My other classes are going well. My monday one is my fave, with the 10 year old twins, I can actually always have a laugh with them and they behave really well.
This week was the return to uni, finally! My classes seem reaaaally interesting this semester, I'm looking forward to carrying on. And I also only have to be in Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, yay!
I'm trying to keep up with the working out, did one yesterday and will do another one tonight, cos I didn't do any on Monday or Tuesday, since they are my busy days, though next week I would prefer to fit one in on one of those days if I can.
Anyway, SÃO... that's it.... thanks for watching... by--
