Di(spain)ana

Spain on top of their pastry game

Yikes, we almost missed two days in a row! You didn't miss much yesterday, we just spent the day writing our Cosmopolis essay, then Skyped with the parentals. We even washed our hair afterwards! Scintillating action!!!


Today we had Lit Theory and Language, followed by a stint at the gym, but we didn't end up having time for a swim because we had to head back into Madrid for our first session as English Language tutors!

We'll be doing it twice a week, 1.5 hours each, for 15 Euro an hour, which is really a pretty good racket. The girl we had today is 13 and pretty advanced, so her mom just wants us to do conversation stuff. She asked us what kind of music we were into, and we were just kind of like, um, One Direction, what? And she responded with, Oh I'm pretty into Eric Clapton right now. What?

Store-brand beer why

Tomorrow we'll head back to give lessons to her little sister, who I suspect won't be quite so conversational, so god knows what we'll do with her. I have zero qualifications other than being born in America, and Zayn didn't even go to high school (right?).

The time commitment is kind of a pain, honestly, but the money is going to be a huge help. We don't need a lot of pocket money in Madrid, but it'll be nice not to have to worry about it when we travel and want to shop/get souvenirs/sleep somewhere without bed bugs. We might get to go to Florence, after all.

Anywho, it's 11:30 here now, and we barely slept last night thanks to our charming new habit of sleeping til noon on Sundays and not getting any activity besides typing and applying lipgloss.


And a big congrats to Zayn and the boys for completing the Where We Are tour!!!!
