Uhh... I have a lot to fill in on

Whoa I suck at this whole blogging thing. So here's a January recap for those interested.

The family I live with went on a vacation for the first week and a half or so of January, so it was just me and the grandparents during that time. haha... Quite interesting being alone with them. Anyways, a friend of my old roommate, her name's Tamiko, came to visit early in the month for about 3 days. Me and Darlene went to pick her up in her hotel her first night here, then we took her to El Tigre and the brothers fell in love because she is gorgeous. I really think Phillipe almost ran in to the wall as he walked the first time he saw her. Haha! Then we met up with my brit friend Tai and Isabel and we all went to a cool pub, then a little bar/discoteca for the rest of the night until about 6 am I believe. The next day we went and kicked it in Retiro for a bit and did a little more exploring, but we were all so tired we ended up crashing at my place watching a movie. Next day we had starbucks and saw a couple more landmarks, then I took her to the train station so she could continue her travels.
The very next day was the eve of Los Reyes Magos, therefore it was pretty much their Christmas eve AND the night before my friend Emma's birthday. Knowing that nothing would be open on Jan 6th we went out to a bar right next door to the girls house for a drink at midnight. Darlene invited me out that night for drinks so we hit up the nice little bar called, Dos con cincuenta, everything is 2,50€ until a certain time, then they go up to like 3€ or something. She met quite a few boys that night, but we met 2. Angel was 23 and a boxer and did not like that we used the term "tía" because he said its a word that the lower classes use. I can't remember his friends name because he kept telling us that he was from Polaca and thats all I could remember, eventhough he's not from there. Some strange spanish joke me and Dar just didn't understand. Well, when Dos con cincuenta got lame the boys took us to this other bar/discoteca down the street that ended up being really cool... but somewhere between the two bars I lost my cardigan. But still had my jacket and scarf, so I was chillin. They walked us back to Dar's and we passed out and woke up to Emma, Ellie, Sara, and Emma's friend from home just having arrived again.
We went out a few more times that week once people started making their way back in to Madrid to celebrate Emma's b-day, since we really didn't get to celebrate it much. One night we got a few WIP, Wisconsin program, people to go out to El Tigre with the normal crowd, but I am poor and don't like having a huge crowd in busy El Tigre anyways, so Dar joined me at my friend Isabel's house party. It was straight United Nations status. There were people there from every corner of the world and I swear we had about 10 different languages being spoken the whole night. It was fun! I spent the night and helped Izzy clean up the next day because I was pretty sure her hangover and the fact that the boys were still sleeping, wouldn't have been useful in cleaning.
Then school started again and we all had to get back on track with the school life. And then in a couple days my birthday had arrived. I think I'm gonna make this a new blog though. So your eyes don't hurt from reading so much.
