Today I Used a Bouday...

Yes, that's right. I got bored after a long day and decided to see if its really worth it to have an additional fixture in every bathroom across Oviedo. oh yeah, i never even said that...hha. So yes. All of the bathrooms in the dorms, at least in
my building come equipped with boudays. And my verdict is...yeah, I guess it's nice. If you have a cush towel afterwards. haha. or realized you had to poop after you just got done taking a shower lol. People reading this now are probably like
wtf? jenni.fer has really lost it. Or who are in the program with me and thinking...WOW. lol. So anyways, I suppose you
care more about what I've been doing maybe in my town across the pond. Well...my bike at home seems to have been stolen first of all, which I discovered yesterday.
So lets see...hm. We have a local bar that we have decided to frequent often, which is the bar campa. Where we go and get "big beers", which are prob like 32oz, for just 2 euros. (i.e. $2.50). I must say everyone here likes to go out much more
often than I do, although so far I have sucked it up and tagged along. While it is going to be a crazy saturday night, I think I am going to be staying in, because I recently have got a cold. Which has turned into a cough. And after being in the sun all day, I am not feeling too hot.
We went on a walking tour of the old city on thursday, which just consisted of a dragged on lecture of the old cathedral, But on the brighter side, the program coordinators did take us all out for beer and sidra afterwards...so hooray.
Last night, Friday night, was probably the highlight of the week for sure. We went to an espicha, and had our first true Spanish experience. (other then our daily shot of espresso on our break). The espicha was like a party in a building, and
we had tons of food to eat, which came in little courses, almost like tons of choices from appetizers. There was meat, tortillas (which are what we say tasted like a cheese and potato fritata), little dinner pies, corn bready pockets,
calamari, cod, sausage, and sooo much more. And of course, all of the sidra we could dream of!!! Sidra is the Spanish drink, and to me, tastes like green olive juice. But I like green olives a lot better.So we went to the sidra at 7, and then found our way back to bar campa for some big beers, with everyone pretty buzzed by then. And don't worry, we travel in a pack now. lol. there's usually at least 8 of us at any one time. But Oviedo is a very safe place. So after big beers, we
went to a couple clubs and danced, and had a jolly old time, and came in at 3:30am, which is very early for here. I had a
friend carrying my keys, who had left earlier, so I ended up having to sleep on the couch without a blanket in the dorms.
Sad day.
So today we went to the sendero de oso, and walked around for hours in the beautiful mountains of Spain. It was a gorgeous day...probably 80-85 degrees, and laid by the river for a while as well. Lovely time. Although a very long day, and I'm pretty dehydrated now..so I'm not feeling too entirely hot. Ugh. I really hope I can uploads the pictures from my friends camera, since the only photos you guys can see are probably the ones I've been tagged in on facebook. oh yes, I've never even talked about friends! There's a group of 6 of us who are particularly close, but I've been making friends and talking to people here and there. I really like the people in the program. They're all super chill people, and 90% of them go to UO, so hopefully we'll actually be keeping in touch in the fall once we return. There's only one girl from Michigan, and I will miss her when the programs over!
I always have so many things I want to write in here, that I think are particularly funny, but I can never think of any of them. So oh well. signing off!
