I can't believe how fast time is passing. The saying 'time flies when you're having fun' is certainly applicable here. Nothing amazing has occurred really this week but it's been a great one yet again. As usual, however, it's been a busy one!
I decided that, to avoid boredom and eating to many goodies, I should join the gym, so I did. It's so much fun and the people are fab. The three gym workers are a variety of characters. There's a beautifully built man who sadly doesn't take any of the classes I go to, a 3 foot nothing woman who is a bit lazy but she speaks English to us (as we're few and far between here, when we crop up people like to show off their language, or at least attempt to) and lastly a seven foot Samoan looking guy, Berto. He is hilarious and so enthusiastic but sadly his English stretches to counting to 10, I don't he's the brightest knife in the shed, if you know what I mean. Nonetheless, I've been 3 times this week and hopefully I'll be able to keep that up!
As I'm spending my days speaking English at school and meeting up with other English speakers, I thought it would be a good idea to set up some foreign language exchanges. I met a lovely guy, Eduard, who wants to perfect his English so he can work in Santander in Britain. He's a friend of my friends partner so I met him through them on a night out. I've also met up with Andrea who is the daughter of Maria's friend Merce, who we went to Costa Brava with. She was lovely and we just spoke Spanish the entire time and it turns out I can waffle in Spanish too as she even asked me if I like talking... I met a lovely French lady at my Catalan class and so I thought it would worth it meeting with her to make sure I don't forget how to speak the lingo. Incidentally, she is how I met Eduard as he is friends with her partner, Sergi. It turns out my French still exists but with the odd Spanish word thrown in and that's exactly why I want to practice with her!
Anna, Jade and I decided we would visit somewhere else earlier in the week and so we hopped on the train and visited Ripoll. It's a lovely little town close to the French border in the mountains. I wouldn't say I loved it but it was a very nice place and the scenery is amazing. I know I keep saying that but it truly is!
On Saturday, we visited Barcelona again because I really really needed to buy a coat before the cold really sets in. The cold Gods were obviously watching over me as the queue in Primark was minimalistic and, literally, as soon as we touched back down in Vic, IT WAS FREEZING! And it has been ever since. It almost feels like we had a week of Autumn and then went straight to winter. This doesn't bother me in the slightest anymore as I know have a lovely new coat. Barcelona didn't disappoint, yet again, which made Saturday a great day out and we topped it off by going out on Saturday night for some fun times. Needless to say that Sunday was quite a relaxing day after a pretty busy week.
