New Home

My happy is that now I can use the internet in my apartment! My crappy is that I got sick from stress+not enough sleep+the tendency of my sinuses to be plagued by congestion. I pledge to get more sleep! The piso where I'm renting a habitación keeps growing on me. My room is small, but it is mine and I like it (I made it even better by putting up pictures of some very special people). The window opens to a nice courtyard area with plants and such and there is a nice breeze coming in. I did laundry for the first time here this afternoon, and its currently hanging on a drying rack in the hallway (dryers are very rare). Things are starting to get pretty intensivo in the curso intensivo. We have a part of our grammar exam tomorrow, 3-5 minute speeches for conversation next week and papers for grammar/conversation and history the Monday after next and then exams on those classes and art! I'm hoping that this weekend can be full of productivity as well as relaxation (and not going out so late...). There is a plan in the works to go to the Parque de Buen Retiro and I would personally love to go to the Plaza Mayor and see what its all about. Soon I'll post about my trip to Ikea yesterday and put up some pictures (I feel like my blog is lacking without them). Buenas noches.
