"He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt." -Catch-22 I really love this book so far. I am disappointed that I am finding it so late in my education career. What have they been teaching me in English class? F John Steinbeck, I hate that stuff!
I booked the first of many trips outside of Madrid yesterday and I have been in a state of complete enthusiasm ever since I received the confirmation e-mail. When Lauren (volleyball Lauren, as opposed to Iowa Lauren) gets here the week after la Semana Santa (which I will be spending elsewhere as well) we are going to Lisbon, Portugal for the weekend. I found a great deal on a flight and a beautiful hostel in the city. Now the only problem is that I want to go right now and I don´t want to wait! Stupid February... it´s only redeeming quality is that it contains Valentine´s Day which I am a big fan of for inexplicable reasons. I don´t have any male Valentine´s (but who needs male Valentine´s when I have my ladies!) but I have always been happy on the big day. Also, it has only 29 days (this year at least) so I won´t have as long to wait, either. That´s nice. I´ll keep everyone updated on the Semana Santa plans but I´m looking into going to the beach by myself for 5 days and soaking up as much playa as I can just as spring is in full swing (I really really hope).
I just realized that I began with a quote about living forever and then wrote about how I need instant gratification... man, I´m a complicated lady.
