<\/p>\nI don\u2019t have much going on in my life this week, just going to school. So, I\u2019m going to write about what a normal day looks like for me.<\/p>\n
First, I wake up late and throw on sweatpants and put my hair up. After, I have a 10-minute walk to school. Every day I walk through the Jard\u00edn de San Francisco, a beautiful park surrounded by flowers and huge statues. By the time I get to school, everyone is half asleep including me. Luckily, we have an awesome coffee machine that charges about 75 cents to keep me alive for the next 4 hours. My classes change every other day, but I learn about Spanish art, culture and language. After 2 hours I get a 30-minute break, in which I go to the same coffee shop every day called the Capuchina. Normally it\u2019s packed with all the students in my school (a very small school and a very small coffee shop). This is my favorite part of the day because I get to talk to all of my friends and the same ladies that work there every day that are very sweet.<\/p>\n
The coffee here is nothing like Starbucks. You only have about 4 options: espresso, cafe con leche, capuchino, or americano. I\u2019ve gotten accustomed to coffee without loads of sugar in it, and now when I drink something too sweet it tastes awful. Here they also give you a small sandwich, tortilla Espa\u00f1ola or another small snack for free when you order a drink.<\/p>\n
When I return to class, I\u2019m now bouncing off the walls from all the caffeine. I have 2 more hours of class and I spend the entire 2 hours looking at the clock. I\u2019m increasingly convinced that I may have ADHD but it\u2019s probably because of my new coffee addiction.<\/p>\n
After school I have a coffee crash, and I\u2019m desperately hungry for never giving myself time to eat breakfast in the morning. So, I usually cook patatas bravas, a traditional Spanish tapa of diced potatoes smothered in aioli mayo and hot sauce. I like to add a little more spice because to be honest they don\u2019t spice their food here, not even with salt sometimes. After I eat, I spend hours doing homework, mostly for my classes online at Tech. Sometimes I go out to watch the sunset at the park next to my house or meet up with friends for tapas. I don\u2019t really know where the night goes after that, but by the time I look at my phone it\u2019s midnight and I have to go home.<\/p>\n
My days are nothing exciting, except for when I\u2019m traveling. But this may give an idea of what study abroad students do. It may seem like a lot of partying and traveling, but there has to be a balance in between. Even when I\u2019m not doing something \u201cexciting\u201d I\u2019m content just because I\u2019m here.<\/p>\n
