(Not So) Breaking News!

Alright so it's been a really interesting/stressful/exciting/fun week. In a nutshell. Here's why!

1. My friends from highschool (Tyler & Jannel) are in BCN for part of their Euro vacation and so I have been showing them a few things and having some good food together and they are coming for the Thanksgiving Dinner I'm having at my house on Monday :) I feel really lucky that for Canadian Thanksgiving, there will actually be 4 Canadians with me for dinner! We still won't be the majority, but we'll be close to half. I'm in search of a blender so I can make pumpkin pie, also a few other key ingredients but you know what the great thing about celebrating this holiday in another country is? All the stores are open Monday! And thank god, because there is just no room for a turkey in my fridge!

2. I have done A LOT of apartment hunting! Met a lot of really odd people, seen a lot of really dirty, dark, tiny places and for a while I was asking myself what was I thinking leaving this place? (Then I got home and was reminded pretty quick) but I found one which is in a nice area of the city, less than 10min bikeride to school, or of course I can also take the Metro. It's super close to Sagrada Familia and just as close to the beach! I have a little interior balcony off my room and only 2 roomates this time (brothers). I'm excited! It's also a bit cheaper than where I am now, so that's good as well. I'll send the address/photos once I get there Nov 1.

3. Dad gets here in T-1 hr! I'm going to pick him up from the bus stop and then it's the most beautiful day outside so we are going to go have a nice lunch somewhere outside in the sun. My roomate is having her BDay party here, so I'd prefer to go out where it's not so chaotic anyhow!

4. I booked a flight home! In February for pretty well the entire month. This is based on a few conditions 1) Jacqueline moves out of my room for that month 2) Air Canada doesn't go on strike AGAIN ;) But no, it was a decent enough deal and a lot cheaper to do it then rather than Christmas, so let's all agree to have Christmas in February?

Okay well that's about all I have time for now... more to come soon! I hope that everyone has a really wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner(s) because we have a lot to be thankful for!
