Okay so yesterday I had a pretty bad day. As everyone knows I have the most random and ridiculous stomach problems, and they have gotten progressively worse here. I have not gone one day without having some sort of stomach issues and for the first half of my experience I kind of just went with it and hoped it would get better. For some reason yesterday I had had it with my stomach and completely lost it when I got home from school. I think all of my frustration was just pent up and I finally let it all out. It is so frustrating because I am not eating things that I am not supposed to and I can barely eat anything here and so when I have all these stomach problems here its extra frustrating because I have no idea what is going on....ughh. Also my conversation yesterday was really frustrating. My teacher is pretty condescending and stern and when she asks you a question she just points at you and gives you this look like she is waiting for you to say something stupid so that she can criticize you....ugh I almost cried in class yesterday when she literally corrected everything i said in a condescending manner. AND the weather was really gloomy yesterday (which was nice because it wasn't scorching hot but it was really humid) which i think made things a little worse as well. BUT after I got out all of my frustrations through my tears I felt SO much better. Because I had a bad day I was really happy when everyone was going out on the town because I thought that it would be a perfect pick me up to get out of the dorms and explore! There is a plaza that everyone goes to here called La Plaza del Sol. At night it is where all the young people drink. There is a bar there called Bar Campo that we go to every time we go out. There were quite a few of us there last night which was really fun. We were all having a good time! There was a band in the plaza that played an impromptu concert sort of thing and it was soo cool! Everyone was dancing in the streets and singing along. I really enjoyed the music...it was really upbeat and fun. A girl that we were sitting with from Oviedo said that they were playing music that was typically music played during the Paso Doble which is cool. It made me really want to learn how to Salsa dance!! It was all fun and games until the police came and told them that they had to stop playing....BUMMER. Everyone was yelling at the police and saying something along the lines of things Americans would say if the cops busted a party hah. After we sat in the plaza for awhile we all went to the clubs. I had SO much fun dancing last night! They played music that we all knew and it was just really nice to let loose. I didn't go to bed until 3:30 last night (which is earlier on the weekends haha) but I still survived class today! I even talked a lot more in conversation. Tonight we are going to an Espicha ( a traditional Austurian fiesta with food and mucho sidra! ) that the school puts on for us. I went last session and it was soo fun!! There was free food and drinks and dancing and mingling! Just what i need to kick start the weekend! Tomorrow there is an excursion to La Senda del Oso which I don't really know much about...but I am going! I will let you know how it goes!

Ps I want a new one of these...


Because I feel like this all of the time..

  1. Ugggh I'm sorry you are feeling so terrible, you and Dust both just need to go get new stomachs...I mean I am sure you aren't drink, but maybe if you were that is adding to the problem, I know Dust gets soooo soooo sick when he drinks! Just a thought :-) Hope you are well and I can't believe it is flying by this quickly!
