Hey all, unfortunately another quick post, well, i´ll try to detail it.
Well, had everyone leave, that was sad. I ended my relationship with Cam, which was sadder. He then left back to London where he is currently, and I am still in Getxo.
I have moved now, all my stuff is in Algorta (another suburb of Getxo), and i will properly move in on the 5th, when I get back to Getxo. I didn´t have to pay my landlady extra money to have someone clean the place because i was so angry with her that i cleaned my ass off to spite her (i really really didn´t want to give her more money than i already have with rent and utilities).
But before all that was christmas. xmas eve is the night celebrated here in spain, and i went to eva´s house in san sebastián where we dined on prawns, rabas (strips of squid), salmon, delicious chicken, and a nuttily spiced meatloaf thingee. and of course wine and champagne! a very nice dinner, i was stuffed full!!! evas parents are fabulous, very nice people.
then for xmas dinner i returned to my apartment and had a huge potluck with 9 of my usac friends who hung around after the semester finished, and that was great, lots of extra food! and yes.... lots of beer, wine, rum etc etc.
and then on boxing day i went to alisha´s apartment where her flatmate cooked prawns, baby eels (angulas), amazing chicken/bacon... all the food lately has been exquisite! then we had champagne, lemon sorbet, lemon sorbet and champagne mixed together, champagne and orange juice mixed together... the list continues. another fab night for fine food!
and then last night... well, i was too scared to cook and mess up the tidy kitchen!
bye for a while, am going on a road trip!

Merry Christmas
this´ll be the briefest of posts possible because i´m late for a dinner.
merry christmas as i´ve said
am moving out of my apartment tomorrow, and leaving for madrid/cuenca/barcelona/south of france/andorra on wednesday with ivan, alisha and her fiancé ryan. lots of cleaing to do at the apartment (the landlady made me cry today because she was yelling at me for not having cleaned yet - she is way too pedantic (and is a puta casera)).
cam and i have broken up, he has gone back to london.
as i said, very quick post, will write much more when i get a spare moment. (and photos)
xmas hugs!

Farewell Friends
Well well well. A very hectic few weeks. Very hectic, a lot going on.
Lots of lazing around at home, going to parties, studying for exams, sitting the exams (which went pretty well), and the saddest part -saying goodbye to many FABULOUS people who i will miss A LOT.
the semester wouldn´t have been the same without my fabulous friends. it has been awesome and i´m gonna miss everyone!!!! only about 10% of the students are staying on for the next semester so i´ll still see some, and will make a whole lot of new friends in the next lot of USACers, but i like my old friends tooooooo!!!!!
plans for the next few weeks: xmas dinner with a bunch of people staying at my place, move out of my place to a new place 4 metro stops on, a road trip to madrid/barcelona for new years, chill at home for a bit, do some more travelling, then uni starts back up again!!!
i should get a post up before xmas, but if i don´t, ZORIONAK ETA URTE BERRI ON! which is basque for feliz navidad y prospero año nuevo! which is spanish for merry christmas and a happy new year!!!!

Mini Road Trip
Well, since coldplay, not too much happened until the following friday, when cam flew in from london (albeit late because he MISSED HIS FLIGHT)!!! it was wondddderfull to see him, also because he bought 2 big containers of ferrero rocher chocolates duty free hehehehehhehe.
we went out that night to pipers in algorta and met a whole bunch of people, but then went home because we were both tired, and me getting over the flu (which i got really bad on thursday). unfortunately we missed the last metro, so walked for 40 mins :(
saturday we were picked up by markel and beth (and markels dog larson) and we went for a road trip to La Rioja, the wine growing zone of Spain. Its about 1.5 hours away by car, and it was a wonderful day (as you can see) to be travelling!! we walked around the town/village of Santo Domingo de la Calzada which was really pretty, and drank wine, ate DELICIOUS food (markel is an a class cook), and watched movies. it was a very relaxed and chilled weekend. we stayed in markels grandmothers house which was huge! cam and i even got a queen bed. (which is a big deal because i´ve only got a single bed here at home which isn´t the most comfortable squeezing a big muscley man in next to me, hence we now have a blow up mattress next to my bed)
sunday we slept in, then had another walk around the township, then ate yummy lunch, had a siesta (daytime snooze), and drove back (in the rain). got home where gsep made us a delicious pasta dinner with lindsay and christina, and then we all watched shawn of the dead until the wee hours of the morning.
since then we´ve been lazy, seeing as there is no university this week because of holidays here in spain. yay!!!
well. time to go. i hope everyone is doing well??? leave me messages on here!!!!!!
by the way, it feels weird about to have a christmas without the Warehouse sales, and customer lines, and late night shopping, and busting my butt off working rediculous hours, and, well, after 5 years of that xmas has kind of come to mean that to me!!!! but the atmosphere here is amazing, EVERY shop has an elaborate xmas display, its getting colder, and its definately gonna be different!!!!!
