Yes, yes I do! And I will tell you probably very soon because I know I won't be able to keep it in, or maybe I will just tell you all one by one because I can't contain it when I'm talking to you - who knows!
Anyhow, I just got back from the gym after a nice workout. Today the weather is fantastic, a good 30 degrees but with a nice fresh breeze which I can appreciate. The sun is shining and what am I going to do? Well, I will most likely sit inside and work on my thesis mixed with a bit of tv, or maybe I will try to get out of the house to do a bit of studying but sometimes I find that even more frustrating because there are so many other people and stuff going on around to irritate me. I'm a bit irritated in general because we still have no washing machine and my roomate is totally useless when it comes to anything in the house need repairs - it typically takes about 4x longer than necessary for anything to get done. Oh well. Luckily I have an underwear supply to last me a good month!
The other night Nima and Elena planned a surprise evening for all of us that they wouldn't tell me and so we got in the car around 9 and started driving north of the city - no idea where we were going - and we ended up in Sant Benet where there is a little monastery that hasn't been in use since the mid 1800s when it was sold to a private family who used it as a vacation house, and in the 90's the bank bought it and turned it into a historical site. It's set way out kind of in the booneys but it was really nice. We did a night tour where they told us some of the old legends of the property and then gave us a glass of cava. It was a nice little night escape but the only downside is that the whole tour was in catalan so elena had to translate it all for me and Nima!
Alright - that's a bit of what's been happening. Dirty laundry and night time monastery tours. What a life! Miss you and love you all.
