Life thus far

Hey loves,
sorry I have once again failed to keep you up with the adventures and such.
well, right now, I am eating a pringle... so... that is exciting ;)
no really, okay--

This weekend was Great! Got a lot done, but at the same time nothing at all.
How is this possible you might wonder?
I... did everything but my homework! Yes.
On Friday, Meg and I met our "intercambios" Paula and Alba.
Paula is Valencian, and Alba is from Menorca. Now, with our intercambios we practice our spanish and in return they practice their english, though, we mainly speak spanish. It is a lot of fun. Tried Horchata, Spanish style... b/c I like the Horchata from México but here it is made with water, sugar, and chufas (a nut). Very different, but also very good! :-)

After having met our intercambios they set up a time and place to meet on Sunday for the Mascleta!
Meg and I were a bit nervous, we did not know what to think... we can hear it just fine from our apartment, so why go?

Saturday, we went to Xátiva!!! Such a darling city! I could see myself living there (though I would never leave you loved ones at home, so do not get any ideas). It reminded me of México almost, except that the streets were all so nice and even, but they were tiny and windy like Guanajauto :).
We climbed a mountain to see the Castle that protects the city.
I AM SORE. But it was worth it!

Sunday, went to the Mascleta.
I am not deaf, so that is good. I would go again, but we'll see. The singing was by far the coolest, all of Valencia singing together. Then the..
FIREWORKS.
I thought my insides were going to explode! no joke, especially at the end, which I did not record.
Wow.
I cannot imagine being at war...

With all of the excitement of the weekend, I am back to reality... working on school stuff and such, this week is pretty hard b/c Fallas are starting, I have a translation due thursday, a paper due friday, and all I want is to have a break. Which I will have at the end of this awful week.

I hope you readers, all have a wonderful week! Happy Monday!
Blessings!
