I woke up super late, like, I set a new personal record for late. 10:00. I KNOW, so late! My mind is slowly processing the idea that it is necessary to do everything late in Spain, which I have a ton of trouble admitting.Anyway, I ate my breakfast. Señora figured something was wrong last night, so she asked me to come to talk with her at her store when I got a chance. The girls wanted to shopping (they seriously have a one-track mind) so I walked on down to Señora's shop and we had a brief chat, and then I went to get a coffee.
It was an expensive coffee. It cost me a whole euro-forty. Rip off, right? It wasn't even that good!! Haha, I'm joking. euro forty is still way cheaper than Starbucks, which is like three euro.
I went back to the house and spent some time chilling and relaxing before Señora came back. Her mother had made us lunch! Potato, pea, and chicken soup. It was wicked good. Well, the taters and chicken. Can't ever go wrong with taters and chicken.
I walked to school and we talked about my second least favorite tense in Spanish: the subjunctive case. It doesn't even have an English equivalent. The best I can do is say that it expresses uncertainty... but even that isn't 100% correct. Also, it has a bucket load of irregulars to go along with the confusion about when to even use it.... I hate it so much. I don't see the point.
I had a second coffee between classes because I was pretty much dying. Also, German guy apparently decided that buying a basketball was the right thing to do this morning, even though he has no way to actually get it home, nor anywhere to play basketball. Germans are weird.Then I went home, realized my charger wasn't working again, so I just took the hint and went to the store to buy another one. This one works fine, and I am much happier. I also bought a second pack of gum since I ran out some days ago and that makes me sad.
Señora returned home and we had mushroom and chicken dinner with some sauce, along with bread. It was decent, all things considered. Tomorrow, I have to wake up super duper early to go to Portugal, and I'll have a time change. Yay.
Also, in other news, UK left the EU. What? Why?! People are kinda sorta freaking out here, because Spain is super scared of anything going wrong with the EU. We kind of rely on it in order to have anything resembling a stable economy.
Lets see... yesterday, a bicyclist got hit by a car at one of the crosswalks I have to take everyday. They're insane on the roads, I'm telling you! People honk all the time when they aren't careening into other lanes or into the river, and stop-signs are always optional. I would hate to drive here.
