Vacation in Madrid
So I´ve been here for a week now. It´s been a nice trip. It´s nice to be back in Madrid and spend time with Julio. I´ve enjoyed doing all the things we used to do. It´s kind of weird for me being in Madrid on a quarterly basis. I feel like I live here or something. Anyhow, it´s nice to sleep in, relax, eat food. I bought a textbook for Logistics. I´m taking two actual logistics classes this coming quarter. It feels good to know that I´m actually going to be studying something that has to do with my career after graduation.
On another note, my Spanish sucks. In terms of listening I still understand everything, but when I speak, sometimes my tongue gets tied, and my accent isn´t as good as it used to be, also I sound less natural when I speak. Bah.
Julio´s roommate has been annoying me lately. Everytime I talk to her, I just walk away think ¨okay . . . ¨ She was talking about how expensive international calls are, and I was like, use skype, it´s 2 cents a minutes. And she was like, but the person I´m calling doesn´t have a computer. And I was like, you use it primarily to call actual phone numbers, and then she was like, but with Mac you can´t use skype to call phone, only other computers. And I was like, okay . . . what purpose do you have pretending to know something about what your computer can´t do. Then I thought back to how my grandparents don´t even want to know about all the really useful functions they have one their phones, cars, computer, etc, and how people can be really irrational for dumb reasons. She also scratches the hell out of all the teflon stuff here, so I hid the metal spatula. I´m sure she´ll just use of a fork or something. (El asunto del teflón me pone de los nervios). And the fact that she told me to explore the city, but I´m always at home. And I was like, you mean Malasaña? As Julio says, ay de verdad. Even though it means he really ticked off, it makes me laugh.
I don´t mean to ponerme pesado con este asunto, but it has only reaffirmed my theory about friends. Even though what I listed above is just a bunch of faults, I like Emilie as a person. She the kind of person that I wouldn´t mind having as a friend and hanging out with from time to time, yet not the kind of person that I would want as an intimate friend or a roommate. Thinking about all this makes me glad I´m living with Lily, because as different as we are, we still have a good convivencia. That is unless I secretly bug the hell out of her, which I kind of doubt because I don´t see Lily as the kind of person who would let little issues eat at her instead of just saying it. Plus I feel like when she has a problem she´s actually dispuesta to other view perspectives that I (or others for that matter) might have. People who always talk, but never listen me ponen de los nervios.
I know all this must make me seem like a bitch, but after having written it, I sort of feel better.
Un beso a todos.
