jueves, 30 de mayo

Waking up for classes today was tough as usual, but this time I was very excited to get the class day over with because we were going to the beach again, and I was ready for some good ole rest and relaxation.  Classes went as usual, nothing too exciting.  We got out a little early of my last class to "work on our research" which translated to all of us as "time for lunch!"  I went to a little store across the street with some people from my class.  The place was called "Comida para llevar" which means food to go.  They had legit meals already prepared and in cases to pick from and you could pick what you wanted and how much and they would tell you your price according to the amount.  I got 2 ham croquetas and 2 chicken ones, and they were very good.  I found out after I left that you could have them warmed up more but they were fine as is.  We ate our to-go lunches in the computer lab basement where it was usually all to ourselves but now there are other students from Oklahoma.  And saying it nicely...they're all obnoxious.  I had to listen to a girl talk for 30 minutes about her double major and how smart she was while I was trying to get work done. I eventually gave up trying to do work and we all just hung out down there until the history class was let out. 

When Jen was finished with her class we headed to the metro station to go to the beach.  We were a little iffy because it was slightly chilly walking there with a crisp breeze.  When we got to the beach though we were pleasantly surprised.  The sun was perfect and for once it wasn't windy.  We ended up taking a nice nap down there for about 2 hours and then headed to a small pizza place for a snack.  We tried a Carbonara pizza and it was veryy good.  But we still have to go to illRossi's for the best carbonara pizza.  We then took the metro back home and got cleaned up before trying to get our stuff together for Greece.

Gemma made us dinner because she was leaving for somewhere and showed us that it was on the counter when we were ready and then she left.  We checked out the dinner and...it...had...tuna.....again.  Jen tasted it and said it didn't taste like tuna, it could've been chicken but I tasted it and knew it was definately not chicekn.  We checked the trashcans for reassurance and of course there were cans of A'tuna.  As we have secretly done before, we devised a plan to make it look like we ate it.  We ended up spooning the tuna salad stuff into sandwhich baggies I had left over and this time it was my turn to hide them in my drawer...We had to have this covert operation completed in a promptly manner because we didn't want the Italian guests to see us.  Shortly after the lovely food marinated in my desk for a little, we decided to head to La Plaza de la Virgen to get a dinner we could fathom.  I put the baggies of lovely tuna into a old shopping bag to cover it up and threw it away in the big trashcan outside. 

We ate at the same cafe we did last weekend but this was another location and after debating back and forth of what we wanted to eat, we ended up choosing the same sandwiches we ordered last time.  We sat on the patio and it was prime time for people watching.  We were sitting pretty close to a lightpole that housed many of the plaza's piegons and as we were sitting there, the coulpe next to us got a lovely present dropepd on their table from the bird above.  Nasty.  About ten minutes later we were greeted with the same "gift" but it landed next to our table thankfully.  The waiter saw us getting grossed out and helped us move tables.  Jen said it was karma for throwing the food away...oops.

We headed back home after grabbing a small ice cream as a sugar pick me up before packing all our stuff for the Greece trip.  It took a while to decide what to bring but now all is packed and ready to go.  Now all we need is a good night's rest before our travels tomorrow!  I won't have my computer while we are there so you all will have to wait a few days to hear all about it! :)

Hasta Luego!
