So what has gone on since I last wrote?
We went out Thursday night to Calle Gascona for Cidra and fun. I met some Irish people and British people who knew some of the members of our group, but not me. I was starting to feel sick (everyone on this program is sick right now - even the profs), so I didn't even buy anything haha. Then we walked to Plaza del Sol, which I think is normally a hoppin' place on the weekends because in Europe there's no open-bottle law. Thursday night, though, it wasn't too exciting. So we went looking for a dance-floor/bar. Of course, we ended up at Pub B-12, where I've gone tons of times with the UMassers. It was fun and I definitely stayed too late because yesterday I was pretty sick (stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing, head-aches: the works).
We bought bus tickets yesterday for our trip next weekend. But other than doing that and going to class, I didn't do anything yeserday. I just stayed home and slept - took 2 nyquils and slept for 10.5 hours last night. It was wonderful, and I feel better today, but definitely not 100%. Hopefully by Monday I'll be much better.
Anyways, today I woke up to a text message that said if I wanted to go to Gijón, I would have to meet at the bus station at 1pm. It was 11am, so I kinda had get my butt in gear. But I made it and Nora, Storie, Sabrina, Fiona, Stephen and I went to Gijón. The bus was ~20 minutes and was 2.25€ one-way, which is pretty cool because there is a beach there that is seems to be really popular in the summer. Today was pretty nasty and cold, so there weren't many people around.
We ended up eating at a small café on the beach, wandering around without a map (and not getting lost! Yes!), and going to the acuario (aquarium). Everyone really enjoyed themselves at the aquarium, it was really relaxing and calming. I definitely think it was bigger than the New England Aquarium, and there were lots of places to sit and just watch the fish. We were all completely fascinated. When we got to the bus station after being in the aquarium for a couple of hours, there was a bus to Oviedo in about 5 minutes, so we hopped on and made it back in less than half an hour. It was a really fun day. Tonight I think I'll go out since I've had a night off and I feel better.
