I have been here for 9 weeks!! I have just under 4 weeks left until I come home for Christmas! Crazy how time flies.
This week has been quite quiet, although we have been out a lot walking around the town and meeting up with friends. The start of the week was really cold so we went to buy some new pyjamas and had a little shopping spree!
On Thursday, me and Callum went to see the Plaza Mayor as they had started to construct the Christmas Tree, the lights and the Carousel ready for Christmas. They have started putting lights up in all of the streets now, but apparently they don't actually turn them on until early December!
On Thursday afternoon I then went to an Italian workshop with Aine, and we were basically being taught by a bunch of Italian students who had come to Valladolid for the week on an exchange programme. There were only three of us that turned up so we all had 4 Italian people each teaching us - we played Italian hangman too which was quite fun.
Then in the evening we went to a few bars and cafes with the Irish as one of Hannah's friends was here from Milan. We ended up walking round for ages but it was a nice night.
On Friday we met up with the Irish again for a few drinks in the evening - in the daytime we had to go to the social security building to get a social security number here in Spain. It took us ages but at least its sorted now!
We also cooked for the first time on Thursday - we made pasta and a tomato sauce with vegetables in it! Its the first time we haven't eaten salad and cous cous - I was soo full!
Yesterday me, Aine, Nathan and Callum went to the cereal café to do some revision. It was really busy - although we definitely went at the right time because when we went shopping with Aine later on at around 6pm, there was a long queue outside of people waiting to order! We couldn't believe how busy it was there, and in general how busy the town was. We went for drinks at 10y10 in the evening which was nice, although that was really busy too as the football was on!
Our friend Gianluca is visiting today from Salamanca so we have been for lunch and are planning on showing him round the town later before he goes home.
