Shortly after the talent show
On Friday I did something that I would never have done in the States: I sang a techno-y Spanish song at our center's Festival de Cabaret with my two friends Katelyn and Caitlin. We had been practicing for several weeks, and I'm glad we did it. I probably won't ever participate in a talent show again, so I hope the memory of this experience will last me a lifetime. The evening was quite fun. There was a clever work of theatre and a dance based on West Side Story among other things. So since my host family told me I could invite friends over during their absence, four of us headed to Mercadona to buy some packaged pizzas (They don't normally sell frozen pizzas in Spanish supermarkets; instead, the pizzas are fresh and have interesting ingredients such as goat cheese, shrimp, and salmon.) We also bought salad material, calamari tapas, and straciatella (Italian-style chocolate chip ice cream). Then we headed to my apartment, cooked up the food, and ate our dinner at the yellow table-clothed dining table. Afterwards we saw three television shows in English-- an episode each of Bones, House, and Gilmore Girls. I fell asleep though. (I like the feeling of falling asleep while people are watching television, no idea why. But my mom likes this too so maybe it's hereditary? Haha)
Today (Sunday), while I was taking my siesta, I heard a boom and realized that the electricity went out. So I had to make dinner and eat it in the dark while vowing that I would never live alone because while this weekend has been nicely peaceful, I started to feel lonely towards the end of it. Thank goodness for Claudia, who invited me over to her place for an excellent study date.
Special thanks to Rebecca for offering to take pics ( :
