After school I went to meet up with a friend. Long story short, she had to take care of some medical stuff and it took longer than she thought...pretty typical is Spain actually lol. So while I was waiting for her I met an interesting man. He was probably about 60ish and at first seemed very nice...like all Spanish people. Within about 10 min of talking with me he was on to saying I'm the prettiest girl in Lucena and blah blah lol. From there it went to...well some what of an inappropriate conversation in U.S. terms. Not anything graphic but he definitely told me about what was going to happen with our "relationship." I couldn't stop laughing- and when I decided to leave to go home after waiting for a while for my friend, the man demanded that I come back so he could give me some advice. Of course that didn't happen and I told him he could tell me later. It funny that when you tell someone something rather direct like that here in Spain the respond quiet well. Then man seemed perfectly content that he could tell me later- although I doubt we will see each other much...or ever (I will ignore him if I see him again and pretend my Spanish got worse haha- GAME PLAN!).
Since my birthday was pretty mellow we decided we (other people I've met here) would go out Thursday (today) for a celebration.Tonight was great, Niki, my new friend Paul and myself all went out to the bar; had some birthday shots...after eating some tapas; then migrated to another bar. I left before everyone else did because I had to head to Granada in less than 5ish hours, yippee- another night with minimal sleep!Yesterday I actually went to Cordoba...ID stuff...so I left my place at 7am. I was completely exhausted by the end of the day...but not for just NO reason.
After spending about 4 hours in the police station for the ID stuff...just waiting pretty much the entire time, we finally got everything sorted. We, meaning myself and another girl...from OREGON!, hung out and later met up with another new friend I've made- from Scotland. We ended up exploring more of Cordoba that I haven't seen! We went to the river and then over to Alcazar, where they have some towers/buildings to explore and a very large garden that is absolutely beautiful. Parts of the garden had kind of Alice in Wonderland feel...with plants and trees shaped like vases and other strange shapes... which is a little confusing after functioning on minimal hours of sleep.
By the end of the day though, I was absolutely spent...even before the time we finished looking at the gardens I was exhausted, so that night I slept like a baby!I ended up leaving that evening and walked directly to the Language School- where my other friend told me something was going on. Little did I know I would be learning how to dance to Thriller that night lol. YEA. We spent an hour just working on the first 17 steps- there are over 30!- and we're supposed to perform it next week for Halloween haha. Of course it will probably be half speed and not even half the dance that we show. Oh and on top of that we only have 3 days in total to practice with each other and I can make it one of the days....lolol I can't wait to see how this goes! Well I'm off to live life in Spain.
