Another day...

--- Maria's mother asked me to take down the pictures, so if you would like to see them just ask and I can send them to you but she'd rather not have them posted on the internet ---

Today I slept in a bit since I didn't have class until 12:30pm, which was nice. I felt pretty sick last night so I opted not to eat dinner so I was pretty hungry when I woke up. After my coffee and cereal we all went next door to check out the new mall that they built under the Congress Palace/hotel next door. It is so gorgeous, but unfortunately I didn't think to bring my camera. Oh darn, I will just have to go shopping one day right? Actually there is a supermarket built into the mall too, haha. Talk about convenience.

After wandering around the Buena Vista mall a bit we headed to a cafe to grab something to drink in hopes of meeting Becky there but she was busy with a client, so I had to leave before she arrived to get to class. I walked to class, which started at 12:30 supposedly, got there around 12:20, and the professor didn't arrive until 12:55. Such is Spanish life.

I walked home, buzzing from the DayQuil I took earlier, and realized I had forgotten my keys. D'oh. Luckily someone happen to leave the front door open to the complex, so I just had to go up the elevator to ring the doorbell to my flat, so no problems there. I decided to introduce Maria to Elephant, and she definitely took a shine to him.

Next week is Semana Santa so I get the week off, but I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing. I had thought about maybe taking a train to Seville or Madrid to check out some art museums but I think the family has some plans to take me to some sites around here too. We'll see how it goes. I am still fighting this cold or whatever it is that I have, so I don't really feel like planning all of that out right now. I might just adopt the Spanish mentality and just figure it out an hour after I decide to leave, haha.
