Still in love with Madrid :)

Well, I was going to post something once a month, but that didn't happen...oops
Life in Madrid is still pretty amazing. I feel like a local here...I know where to buy the best and cheapest groceries, where the best bars are and I know how to get places...by Metro! Yeah!

We just finished the first semester. In the end it was pretty rough because I wasn't used to writing long papers in Spanish while studying for finals. But I did good and am pretty relieved that it's over. Second semester is already underway and I've gotta say so far, so good.

I have started working a little bit to earn some extra cash. I have one group of three girls that I tutor twice a week for an hour. Then I also work with two boys of 6 and 8 and I just teach them basic English. I also work with a 16 year old with whom I have conversation class. All the parents are really nice and I always feel very appreciated. It's really hard for the Spanish to learn English and English (as you all know) is a requirement by pretty much every employer. English teachers are sought after and tutors are much needed and paid pretty well.

I've done lots of traveling since I last posted: I've been to Bosnia and Croatia (with my friend Brittany). That was great, as always. I got to see lots of family and friends. We pretty much went from the north to the south of Bosnia-it was awesome!
I went to Barcelona, Cordoba, Brussels, Paris, and of course Gothenburg, Sweden hehehe. I'll be going again end of March, but this time to Linkoping, where Vanja now lives ;)

The situation in my apartment is not as peachy as at the beginning. I get along with everyone, but the two girls that I live with are moving out. We've had some problems with the heat and some of the room mates don't get along well, but I get along fine with everyone and still love living here. We'll see who moves in next :).

The night life is awesome-bars and clubs are open 24/7. My sister Sladja came to visit me btw...we had a great time. She brought me stuff too. ;)
And the wine...the wine is awesome!!!!

All in all I LOVE MY LIFE in Madrid :)

Ok, I'm going to stop now...and try to write sooner next time; at least before I get back home! :) My flight is on May 30th, so I'll see everyone in about three months. I'll be staying in the States for about two and then I'm moving to Sweden!



Keep me updated! Besitos!
