Hello all my faithful blog followers. It was another beautiful day in Madrid. Slightly colder than normal but still very nice when comparing to the weather I am used to having at regular SLU. It was a great day today because I got to skype with my whole family. It gets pretty crazy when we talk we all get really loud and I get to see all the dogs so it can get a little nuts. All of my roommates laugh when I call my family because they wonder which dog I am visiting with. Anyways on to more eventful things. I officially have one trip planned. We are going to the Canary Islands located west of Africa for 4 days during out winter break. I am so excited. We found a website that offers very cheap but safe air fare. Then we did some searching and found hotels on the Beach that are all inclusive. This time of year is perfect because it is during this season called Carnival. It is the last weekend and there are parades every night with bands and what not. I can't wait. Also it will be nice to get a tan since it will be over 70 degrees all the time! I am going with all my roommates and my trusty body guards Chris and Jimmy. For out next trip we are looking into Barcelona, which I've already been to but loved so I can't wait to go back! Or, possible going to Paris or London. AGH!! That's what I love I could go anywhere for three days and come right back and still go to school! This really is the life for me....well at least for a short time that my bank account lasts!
So as you all know I am taking a Latin Dance Class. I love it. We have so much fun in class, and it really is a work out. Not to mention the fact there are so many cute guys in my class. One of which I have developed a mild crush on. Aaron he is an engineer from Indiana, and my dad warned me about engineer's( I mean my uncle Keith is an engineer...lol). He has been my partner the last 2 dances and we are both really good but these last classes we have done some moves that are pretty tough. Like last class we learned two different dips. When I say dips I mean the guy is literally holding me inches from the ground. Scary. One of them our bodies are next to each other then he turns and drops me and catches me at the last second. Don't worry no one has been dropped yet but still there is always a possibility. We have a final performance in April and we wear full dresses and everything. I will buy the DVD so I can show off my skills. I was thinking maybe I could do a mini performance at the wedding for LC and Chad. lol KIDDING!!!
I have some friends coming from Rome this weekend. That should be fun. I'm excited to show people around the city. It will be the first true test to see if I am as adjusted as I think I am. I'm nervous but I'm sure it will be fine. It's getting late here and I need lots of energy for dance tomorrow but don't worry I will remember everything that happens so I can add it to my next blog! Love you all!
Miss you tons. DOn't forget to email me! Acolee@slu.edu
