Well I hope everyone has had a good week. I know I haven’t updated my blog since Monday, but I didn’t have anything too important to say. This was a relatively normal week, at least compared to many of my other weeks in Madrid!
All of my classes this week were ordinary—no weird music, field trips, or juggling. I have also been relaxing a lot in an attempt to get over the cough/cold that I’ve been suffering through. I am feeling much better today, but am not fully healthy yet. It doesn’t help that the weather has been crazy here—up and down everyday! Yesterday, it snowed as I walked to school! It was unexpected, but kind of cool. But it is cold and rainy outside and then humid and warm inside, so I think that’s been negatively affecting my health. Hopefully it gets warmer soon so I don’t have to deal with this anymore!
Because I’ve been trying to get better this week, I haven’t gone out or done too much socializing outside of campus. However, I have been able to catch up with some people from home via Skype, which is always fun. I think I actually talk to people more now that I’m in Spain than when I’m in Omaha! Being in a different country and continent, so far from home, has made me miss what I have at home, and in turn, made me feel much more grateful for all of my family and friends who are always available to me. I love you all!
The coolest thing I did this week was go to the Real Madrid-Málaga match last night at Santiago Bernabéu stadium (Real Madrid’s stadium). It was a last minute thing—Adam, one of my friends from school, got a group together yesterday afternoon, and we got tickets for only 20 Euros a piece. We were in the 4th tier, but we could see everything perfectly, so it was definitely worth it! And even though it was only about 30ºF last night, there were huge heaters in the stadium, so it was actually quite comfortable. The game was really fun; we had a great group of people, there was fun energy in the stadium, and Real Madrid won 7-0! It was a nice reminder of how much I love watching soccer. :)

Ronaldo!
Way to go, team!
Nearly everyone from school is on vacation this weekend, so today I chilled at home, watching some movies and resting. Perfect “me-time”! Tomorrow I am going to try to do some homework at Starbucks, where I can enjoy some nice coffee to battle the cold temperatures here!
All my love,
Elizabeth
P.S. If anyone is looking for some new music to listen to, I highly recommend checking out Gaelic Storm… I have been listening to them almost nonstop since returning from Ireland! I just can’t get enough of everything Irish. :)
