Oktoberfest and such!

I actually had class this week hoorah! Well all except for one class which is still on standby because the professor is pregnant and they need to find a sub so until then I won't have that class. Which actually makes me really sad because it is International Organizations and I was really looking forward to it! Oh well it will start soon enough. Also, I can't get on to the school's homework sight because I am not officially registered with the classes yet and my ISEP coordinator here is being a buttface and won't return my emails!

Besides Spain's disorganized school system, life has been pretty good here. I am still getting homesick now and then and it gets worse when I skype with people but I guess that's never going to go away. It is such a weird feeling to have your heart in two different places. I absolutely love being here and meeting new people. I mean I am living the dream! I get to see things that some people will never get to see before they die. It's an amazing feeling to be so blessed and be able to have this experience. Then again I go through pictures of family and friends back home and find myself missing them more than ever, it's kind of a bittersweet process.

But enough about that. This week I did a couple of exciting events =) Monday was just a normal day, I had school and then came home and cooked dinner as usual. I'm actually getting really talented at making dinner out of random things. Also, I have mastered making several different pastas with different sauces. I also eat a lot of chicken because beef is wayyy to expensive! Let's just say when I get back to the states I want a giant Nebraska steak! Tuesday's are going to be the longest days of my life! I have class from 3-9 at night  with no breaks =(

Thursday night I went to Oktoberfest with my roommates. It was the best thing ever! I have been looking for a good beer to drink because the beer here "Estrella Levante" takes like crap! It is soooo nasty! Well I found my favorite beer of all time it's a German Beer called Paulaner Wheat. It was delicious!

German Sausages

German Pretzel 

So this was the food I ate at Oktoberfest, oh and there were fries but there was nothing special about them. Oh I did have one other reallllly good thing the other day. I ate McDonald's for the first time here and their Mcflurry's are bomb.com!

Best Mcflurry ever!!

Well I was supposed to go to a BMX show on Saturday but it decided to downpour and the arena that it was located has an open top so we didn't end up going =( Hopefully we get our money back because it was $25 euro!
I also went to the mall for the first time this week. It was HUGE!! I felt like I was in a mini Mall of America! There were so many shoes stores, restaurants, bars, grocery place. It was a one stop shop place! I was a little big overwhelmed and I will probably go back a different time by myself so I can really look at everything. Plus I prefer to shop alone anyway.

This week there is a holiday on Tuesday so we don't have school and I am unsure if I have school tomorrow I guess we will find out lol.
I am suuuuper duppper excited for this weekend because I am going to Milan! ahhh Excited but nervous because nobody i'm going with speaks Italian but one of our friends knows somebody in Milan that is going to show us around =)
I also bought a plane ticket for Madrid in November which I'm quite excited for! My excursions have begun and I am quite anxious!

Besos!
