reading in spanish and other fun things

So i haven't written in a while because I haven't really done anything this week. I'm saving money for the weekend : ). We're going out to eat and then going to drink and watch free flamenco. I'm excited.

Also haven't been writing because I bought a book last weekend by Haruki Murakami (in Spanish, of course) to read. Its amazing. He's amazing. I love him. We should be friends. Unfortunately I think he lives in New Hampshire or somewhere vaguely cold like that. And he probably gets stalked all the time so he probs wouldn't like me : /

I'm starting to make more friends at CCCS which is kinda nice. There are people I have classes with that are interesting, now that we've started more specialized things. My potentially fav class (the immigration one) is still boring. So far we haven't talked about immigration at all, we're going over all the basics of my major which is good review but I din't exactly take the class for review so I'm a bit frustrated.

I had a job offer from a neighbour of my host mother, but because all of my classes are so late it fell through. It is very sad, since I was hoping to augment my meager travel budget. Meg and I are planning our mad wanderings to Oviedo (its up north on the coast, she wants to rent a car so we're going), though we haven't gotten farther than Oviedo and expensive. And there has been some talk of possibly making it to Paris, but we have to look at prices before I can commit to anything on that front. As with all things, the question of my life is money. I've started keeping a tally book because it makes it easier to keep larger sums of cash money without spending it all if I have to count everything exactly, and if I keep larger sums then I save on withdrawal charges which is roxxors. All in all, this intense money managing thing is at least a good thing to learn. Next I need to learn how to cook. Since if I ever want to live anywhere I think I'm more or less going to have to cook for myself, and that's cheaper anyways lol.

Anyway, that's what's up. Oh, and I need to start applying for summer jobs, but that's not much to do with Spain lol more with the aftermath. But overall life is good.
