This week, hundreds of people have descended upon this usually very sleepy town to celebrate Cervantes day, (which was a holiday here). For about a week now there’s been a huge medieval market with a huge array of knick knacks, food, (think enormous rolls of cheese), and even stripper bra straps.// Esta semana, cientos de personas han venido a este pueblo tranquillo para celebrar El DĆa Cervantes (que fue una fiesta aqui). Durante la semana, ha habido un mercado medieval muy grande con una variedad de cosas bonitas.
I know my ‘snaps of the week’ post usually goes up on Sundays, but I’ve been a bit out of kilter this weekend after Saturday night.
Week number 4! One month in! I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. This week has been a pretty good one. Except from the fact that I have a nasty cold; I’ve been really happy this week. I feel like I’m fully settling into things now, accepting the things I can’t change and seeing the positives that may come from them.
I feel like I’m understanding more at uni, so I think my listening skills have improved a lot since being here. I’m still struggling with the speaking part, but I think my vocab has widened massively and conjugating verbs on the spot, (especially in the fucking indefinite), is coming to me more readily too. I definitely have a long way to go, and I’m no where near fluent, but I think I’m on the right track.
I have noticed though that I have blown an amount of money I’m not ready to acknowledge. I would say 2/3rd of my loan has gone and it’s been one month. On the one hand, I want to explore and experience everything and not give a shit about my bank balance, but at the same time, not being able to pay next months rent isn’t too appealing. This week I’m being a bit stricter with myself: only spend on necessities and be frugal, in order to save up for a bit of travelling and doing fun things.
Anyways, right now, all is very well.
I’m outcheaa guys; living my best life.
// Normalmente, yo publicitĆ© ‘snaps of the week’ el domingo pero este fin de, no he sentido bien despuĆ©s de mi noche el sĆ”bado.
Semana numero 4! Un mes! Que locura! No sƩ donde va el tiempo. Esta semana fue muy bien. Excepto del hecho que yo tengo un resfriado muy mal; he sido muy contenta. Siento que me he establecido en mi nueva vida espaƱola. He aceptado las cosas que no puedo cambiar y intentado ver las positivas en todo.
Siento que yo puedo entender mĆ”s en mis clases, entonces, yo dirĆa que mi destreza de escuchar ha mejorado. Me cuesta un poquita aĆŗn a hablar espaƱol, sin embargo, mi vocabulario ha ampliado y yo puedo conjugar mĆ”s rĆ”pidos los verbos. Tengo muchooo mĆ”s para aprender pero pienso que estoy por buen camino.
Me he dado cuenta de que, he gastado muchĆsima dinero. Casi 2/3 de mi prĆ©stamo estudiantil. Tengo un dilema entre, hacer muchas cosas y disfrutarme o pagar mi mensualidad jajaja. No, tengo que ser un poquita mĆ”s estricta con mis gastos y mantengo en cuenta que quiero viajar y hacer cosas mĆ”s importantes que un tinto de verano cada dĆa.
De todas formas, todo va bien.
Estoy aqui tĆos; estoy viviendo mi mejor vida.
