surtido de ibéricos, japanese charlie and the joie de vivre

Well apologies for the lack of updates lately as I have been a busy bee with one thing and another. It's been a hectic week, with classes, problems with the net, dinner parties, I feel like I have flew and flied!!

Well lessons are all fine, enjoying them, the teachers really are excellent here, but I would expect that with Salamanca being the 'Oxford of Spain'. One thing that has suprised me is the lack of 'homework', I have been in lessons for about 4 weeks and we have not had one piece of work to complete outside of class, very strange, very Spanish.

I have news on next year aswell, when it comes to my living arrangements, well since all my old flatmates (macca, ollie, tagg etc) will all have finished Uni and I dont really want to live with people from Spanish, as much as I love them, living together and studying together could be a reciepe for disaster. So Charlie asked me If I wanted to go and live with her, now I know many of you won't know her, but she is blonde, a southern fairy (one of the people who thinks middlesbrough is the worst town in the UK, fuck you channel 4!) and yes she asked me and I said yes, she had already found a flat so we now have a lovely flat in Liverpool to return to in fourth year. She is currently in Japan on her 'erasmus' so I have to say muchas gracias to her for sorting it and asking me.

Anything else? Well had a dinner party on Thursday night, (Tom, Julien, Léa, Nathalie, Allison, Ray, Kirst and her lad, Lily and I) and I made Curry! Ohh how nice it was (thanks also to Tom for helping me) a nice Jalfrezi with some basmalti rice á la tom it was a great success and it was a great night, good food, good wine and most of all good company.

I had quite a big night on Wednesday after starting to drink at about 8pm as ángela phoned me as she had been out since 10AM (yes thats right, AM) and she was steaming and she managed to say (in english) 'take me to a bar english' so off we went to O'Haras. Then Tom and I headed out with Astrid, Mats and a girl who;s name I can't remember and we later met up with Ray and JoJo and David and his crew, and I got home at 6am (Remember this is early for Spain)

We also went out last night after the rugby but nothing major happened, we went to some salsa bar called el savor and I was suprised how good it was, just expensive!

Ps - If any girl wants to win a guys heart bring his some of this and he will love you PARA SIEMPRE!! (for ever) Bring him a big plate of surtidos de iberico, which is jamon, chorizo, salchichon and lomo and maybe a bit of queso manchego (which is sadly missing on the one I ordered here!) ---------------->
