Monday was a little easier waking up since we did not do
much of anything on Sunday. We had our
final day of normal classes, which was actually a little sad for me to think
of. It was my last official day of
taking a Spanish class after nine years.
We didn’t do much in our classes except going over what our final exams
were going to entail. After school we
headed back home for lunch. Jamel made
us chimichurri marinated steak sandwiches on a baguette. I finally got to eat some hummus for lunch
after failing miserably when looking for it in Greece.
After lunch I took a good ole siesta to try and feel a
little better before heading back to school later that afternoon. All Spanish classes had to do a
post-assessment oral recording to compare our Spanish before the trip to
now. After a lot of technical
difficulties with the computers, one other girl and myself figured out how to
just use our iPhones to record and email it in.
Thankfully that worked otherwise I would’ve been there much longer than
30 minutes. Jen was hard at work on her
El Cid paper when I got back and we went for a little stroll around the area to
take a break.
We went to the “chinos” store looking for postcards because that
is the store that literally has anything you could think of…besides a simple
postcard. We stopped at the grocery
store to pick up some snacks for the week and headed back to continue work. I started packing a bit and that ended quickly…did
not want to open that can of worms. So I
just hung out for the rest of the day while Jen worked until dinner.
Dinner was...interesting…thankfully we were eating in the
kitchen by ourselves this time. We had a
large bowl of gazpacho, plate of queso, hot baguette, and a traditional
Andalucía dish. The dish consisted of a
bowl of breadcrumbs and ripped up ham, and I’m pretty sure the breadcrumbs had
cumin all over them as well. It wasn’t a
bad dish but it wasn’t my favorite either.
As far as the gazpacho went, I could only eat a little. Something about cold soup just isn’t my forte
so I stomached a few spoon fulls and poured the rest down the sink…and Jen made me take care of hers as well...oops. So for our lovely dinner we ended up eating yummy bread, cheese,
and water. So filling… After dinner Gemma and Jamel’s friend stopped
by with GOLFA! We were so excited to see
her again and play a little; she is literally one of the sweetest dogs ever.
I began to get a headache again so I went to bed pretty
early, only to wake up wide-awake an hour later. The rest of the night I tossed and turned
wide awake not able to sleep probably because of exams fast approaching and our stay here ending soon as well.
