A weird day today. It seemed all right waking up in the sunlight, but it was extremely cold. Read on the news that a cold front has arrived in Spain and the first snow has already fallen in the north. In Madrid it has been raining heavily causing flooded roads and lots of traffic jams.
I figured out how my heating (aircon) works so at least it is nice inside.
Was a bit heavy-headed after two late night drinking sessions with Duncan, a Scot who is another classmate of mine for this week only. Last night we visited a bar of a friend of his and we had quite some fun, practicing our new learned Spanish. That goes so much easier with a few beers!
At school we had probably the most boring lessons we have had so far. First two hours of yet again Pret‚àö¬©rito Perfecto. We have started this on Monday and thus have accumulated 10 hours of this tense alone, a bit much if you’d ask me.
During the break we went outside and there was a beautiful light! The sun was setting and the last beams were shining on the Cathedral at Plaza de la Reina, so I snapped a picture.
We decided to finally try the “horchata“, a typical Valencian drink made from tigernuts, water and sugar. It tastes a bit fruity and it’s quite refreshing.
The following two hours we focused on the first part of the Imperativo, not really complicated and again not entirely necessary to break up in parts.
Anyways after class we were pretty much done and because we wanted an early night we went to a hole-in-wall tapas place with all kinds of delicious dishes.
Yeah the Horchata is nice. Hua and I tried it last may also. Fresh is nicer then prepacked stuff.
