I have so much free time here, I don't even know what to do with myself. It's a lazy, yet simultaneously wonderful feeling.
This past weekend was a three day weekend, and only 5 of us stuck around Cáceres. We spent the weekend finding new pastelerías, eating pizza, going to youth group at El Puente, perusing the Chinos stores, sleeping, reading (after checking out books with our news library cards!), going to the movies with some Spanish friends, churching, eating churros, and sleeping. I also spent some quality time with Guillermo, our host mom's two month old grandson. I love babies. There's just something about them that gets me every time.
A little more on the movie we went to (Promoción Fantasma)... it was SO good! Definitely one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time, and it was exciting to be able to hear and understand it all in Spanish; it helps me realize how far I've come with the language. At the end of the movie I found myself sad, temporarily, because I realized that my friends at home are missing out on such a good movie. So I definitely plan to buy it and make them all watch it with subtitles. Also, fun fact about Spanish movie theaters: you get assigned seats! Still not sure how I feel about that...
The rest of my week is looking pretty easy. I had one hour of class today, and have five hours left spread out over the next three days. I still know nothing about my internship, except that I have an interview at some undecided point in time this week, and I know even less about my independent study. I'll be happy to get it figured out because I really need to have less free time on my hands. Seriously. Also, we have another three day weekend coming up with a trip to Mérida planned on Friday and no plans otherwise :)
