The rain continues to fall here in Pamplona..cold rain now! I guess that is better than snow like on Saturday!! Oh MAN lol!!! but all the snow has melted now from the rain so that is nice.
My day was much better today..despite my TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE Sociology class that was in English. Gosh it was awful. WEds. i have Span Grammar at 9am and then right after i have Span Conversation. I really love these classes b/c i have the same prof and she is AWESOME. And i have some friends from the exchange prog. in the class! But when i went to Sociology, it was nothing like i thought. It's a 2 hour class, and the prof is from England and only speaks English (I have NO idea how he gets by here b/c no one speaks english here while going about their everyday activities!!). Anyhow, he used Goshly-awful terminology for the entire 2 hours, so bad that even the regular students that attend Navarra full-time wanted to switch. There is no text to buy, and he was very unorganized! I think i'll take this class at Concordia.i took an adventure down that road, but after i decided im def gonna stay in the exchange prog. i think. It just will make my life easier and i think i have enough to deal with/adjust to !!! I want to be hard on myself and say "Lauren, suck it up and get it done" but it was awful..and i also want to allow myself to enjoy this time here. I have the rest of my 20;s to be in school para medicina anyway :)))
So,,after this, i walked home and had a pretty good lunch. Today it was this AMAZING soup again..only made with carrots, water, lentils, and rice. I had never had lentils but i LOVED them! I am always served soup for the 1st course. then, for the main (2nd course), i had fish...and guess what..the skin was still on it :0 I wanted to make a face,,but you'll be proud of me...i ate it!!! hahah!!! and surprisingly i liked it! Not the skin of course! i didnt eat that!!! Then i had my tea, and today i took a 2hour siesta. This was very nice...i needed it! And..it really was 8am at home when i laid down here at 3pm so i guess it evens out :)
Tonight was wonderful. I got out of the house and met my 4 friends, Kristen, Lisa, another Kristen (all from Concordia) and my new friend Maja from Norway (the nurse :)!!! We went to the popular store Mangos (it's like Forever 21 back home) and shopped for about an hour or so! I bought a cute top that was only like 4 E!!
Then, we walked around and took pictures in the plaza! (i need to put them up soon!) Then, Kristen and Maja and I went to the top (8th Fl) of Corte Ingles (the Macy's store of Pamplona) and had Pinchos (appetizers and such). I had this really great bruchetta with mushrrooms.
Tonight their is a big party at the discoteca that many of the exchange students are going to , but with the rain it just isn't appetizing for me to walk there and it starts at 12 midnight till 6 am! Things start so late here!! i think i'll save those discotecas for the wknds! i have class at 830 am tomorrow!!!
Julia had a great cena for me. (dinner) I eat pretty late everynite..tonight was 10:30pm. Everynight i have a salad with a tomato and olive oil which i love and tonight i had a fresh cooked piece of turkey (pavo) with the amazing bread of course. So good. now my tummy is happy and i will get in bed to read. and listen to the rain outside my window. Today, i am happy to say i am finally seeing the light and beginning to see how Pamplona is going to be my newhome,,,and i like it for the most part :)
Until tomorrow...
Love Lauren
