So i decided I'd write another post instead of studying for my midterms, procrastination at it's best. And yes I have midterms, I actually do a little work here and go to school. I know, I was surprised too. Anyways I have midterms on Monday so basically I'll study a little everyday until then. (yes that's really all I need to do here, this is not UB).
This week I think has been the turning point for weather in Madrid. What a lot of people here say is that they have 2 weeks of spring, then summer. This may be the 2 weeks of spring. Its about 60F here and I'm loving it. Dresses and tights everyday. Actually I've been wearing a lot of tights and shorts, I know that's weird but it's the European thing to do. I thought I'd try it and blend in with the natives, and it's surprisingly comfortable. I just want to know if its going to become popular in the US.
Anyways, since it's been so nice I've been running outside a lot. Tuesday I ran all the way to Retiro (the "central park" of Madrid). It's about 20minutes away from my apartment straight down a huge street in the city. People looked at me funny because like I said before no one runs on the street here but I just embraced it. I wasn't going to take the metro to go run.
Today, my friend and I found another park thats fairly large but a lot closer to our houses. For some reason we decided to kill ourselves with a workout today when we came across and empty futbol (soccer) field. We may have been slightly crazy when we decided to run up and down the bleachers and do line sprints and an ab workout. Not really sure what made us do that but a siesta for sure is in order after this.
Even though we have midterms next week, one of the biggest weekends will be this weekend for us. That's because this Italian DJ duo is coming to Madrid and DJing in one of the clubs here. I have no idea who it is, but everyone in my program is going so it's going to be a great time!
And my birthday is coming up soon!! soo festivities all around!
Well maybe now I should crack open a book.... or take a siesta.
