Barcelona, baby!! I'm home.


Barcelona was FUN. It was surprisingly hot, excitingly new and I loved getting to know my classmates better. Barcelona is such a beautiful city, and the atmosphere is great even though people are significantly poorer than here at home and pick pocketing is a lifestyle for many people. But we were actually the first school group going to Barcelona without getting ANYTHING STOLEN. Yeah, you heard right. 48 students being all hormonal and crazy in the sun and none of use LOST ANYTHING. That’s what I call POSITIVE.

I didn’t buy much stuff, which was smart because I’m planning a big one-month interrail trip this summer, which is going to cost... a lot. Like: a lot a lot. But I managed to save quite some money, so yay me.



Other things that happened:

I got sunburned. Bad. Like, lobster on fire. I was lucky, as it was just my face and cleavage, those are easy to threat. Although a teacher called me ‘’the girl with the pink boobs.’’ No worries, she was a woman. But it is already turning into a tan, and that makes me happy because I have never been tan in April.

I drank more españols than I ever have. So that’s when I got so Sagrada Familia that I totally made tacos out of myself. But what can I say; I ate too little that day and when you do that the cacahuate goes straight to your head. It didn’t take long for people to realize that I needed food and agua, I suddenly found myself eating flat croissants. That probably saved my ass. My chicas are so sweet. But of course yesterday I was all dizzy and giggly and guacamole. (Aren’t I really good at using my Spanish vocabulary to get my point across, without risking admitting something illegal?)
