Hot Dog Salad

Hot Dog Salad?!

It's a little weird to be so far away from home on Thanksgiving. Although I have celebrated outside of Chicago, I have never been away from the family so it's a little sad. My school is hosting a Thanksgiving dinner for us today so I am really looking forward to tonight's events. We won't be eating dinner until 10:30 pm tonight and I really have no idea what to expect. We made a dessert last night and I don't know how it is going to turn out. We made cookies and cream salad, but we changed the name to hot dog salad because that is what it looks like. Details to come after the fiesta.

Same as always with Pablo. Last week I was leaving and he was in the bathroom and ran out with his pants at his ankles to say goodbye to me, that was really nice of him, so today I am saying I am thankful that his shirt was long enough and nothing popped out. I went out with mi hermana española, Cristi, last weekend. We did some club'n at her favorite discoteca, Mae West. It's a huge disco that brings in an interesting crowd ranging in age from 16 to 60. Good people watching, but not my favorite place because it is always really crowded and loud. But I decided to go and spend some time with the sister and her cousin. The way they acted kind of reminded me of freshman year at Vito's with lots of moving around all over the place, and of course dancing.


I went to my first football game last weekend. I am not going to lie, it was not that exciting, but I think the reason is because Granada is not good and it kind of reminded me like a high school game. I'll have to make my way to a real football game before I leave.


I am in Granada the next two weekends then I am off to Marruecos (Morocco) for a long weekend with some girlfriends. I am really excited because we got a nice deal and although we will be staying in Tanger we can take a take some day trips to check out some other cities. My first step in Africa is near!

School is not far from finished which is exciting because I have a lot of traveling ahead and Matt will be here on December 24th! Also exciting new, one of my friends (second from the right above) got offered a job to stay in Granada with the current family she is living with and be their nanny. She is seriously considering the job which is exciting for me since I have to attempt to make new friends again come January. It's kind of funny that her family got paid to let her stay at their home and now they are going to pay her to watch their child and live with them.

Happy Thanksgiving!
