Ok so it is now November, and it is officially cold a f! Well apparently it´s not as cold as it´s going to get here as I have heard from my few friends that reside in the town. Anyway...so things are going ok. I am still having a hard time adjusting, but it´s just because I still don´t know how to speak the language. I mean everyone here has been super nice and has tried to help me in so many ways. I am just trying my best to learn as much as I can fast, because it´s hard sitting in a room with 5 people who are telling jokes and laughing etc., while you are sitting there thinking about the next nail color you are going to use because you just don´t get it.
This weekend I had a good time though. I hung out with my co-workers son and some of their friends. They were a pretty interesting group. On Friday I met up with them at a hotel across the street from my house and we had a drink there. I spoke a little bit with them, and then we moved on to another bar in the center of the city. We had a few beers there as well. It was a heavy rock bar, and I don´t have a problem with heavy rock, but I think I have to be in the mood for something like that. So we moved on to another bar where they were playing American jams and music that literally takes control of you and MAKES you dance. So I started dancing, and at this point I was about 3 beers in! I had a really good time. They walked me back to my apartment, where we decided that we´d throw something similar to a potluck at my house.
The weather was shit so I didn´t leave the house all day, but they came to get me so that we could go to the grocery store and buy the groceries that we needed for dinner. I made fried chicken and Isaac made tortilla de patata, which is a really delicious Spanish dish. You basically fry potatoes, cut onions, whip some eggs and put it all together and your done! Magnifico! I love it more and more everytime. So the dinner was a success and we played a game afterwards in which we had trivia, charades etc., I had a good time, but it is indeed difficult to play a game when you don´t know how to speak the language and you can´t really understand the questions.

There is nothing juicy going on in my life so this blog is quite boring. I tell you one thing though. I bought some chocolate just now at the store, and it is about to get serious!!!
Ok I think I am going to go for now...until next time.
