I suppose it's time for an update...
We're reading a book called "Kensuke's Kingdom" in class, and one of the chapters was called, "A Ship's Log." I asked my students if they knew what a ship's log was, and they said yes, a piece of wood on a ship. I said, no, it's like a blog that you have when you're on a ship. At once, they all said "Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, a blog! Ok, ok teacher." I asked them if they knew what a blog was, and they said, "Of course. We are savvy, teacher."
In other news, I went to London again. Not many pictures to post this time. Just one:
That's me, looking self-righteous and double-chinned, blocking people traffic at the Portabello Market in Notting Hill. Bought myself a very cute leather bound notebook for seven pounds. Later realized that it's actually 14 dollars, and I cursed at myself, silently. I hate the pound.
While I was in London, I met a girl whose mother is a Japanese flamenco dancer. I emailed her and feel content that I finally have some lead on my project. WOOP!
London and I have a very good relationship, because I always end up wanting to go back there, and the city always shows me a good time. I feel it's because I go there for short periods of times. Over exposure of any kind is never good.
On the otherhand, Madrid and I have a very rocky Love and Hate relationship. I can't quite describe it. At times, I get frustrated with the lack of charm in Madrid. It's diverse, it's urban, and it is exciting. But the constant construction and the lack of character dampens my opinion about this place. There are times when my favorite part of the city is my bedroom, and that's a horrible thing to think about when you're living in a huge city.
At the moment, I am feeling the Love part of our relationship. I felt relief when I got out of the Arguelles metro, coming back from the airport. Arguelles is my oasis here. When I feel the Love, Arguelles is my favorite part of the city. Good thing I live here.
Yeah, I know. Boring post. I'll figure something out later.
Shout out to Carmen, the survivor.
Shout out to my Hannah, HAPPY B-LATED!!
Shout out to my broham and sistah. They will be making an appearance, here in Spain, in a couple of weeks.
Ciao.
