Yep.

Journal 6: Friday Feb 6, 2009 9:25 pm, Spain time
So I’m finally making this place home. I’m feeling comfortable, not felling homesick…and I might even stay longer than I had planned; I know it’s possible now at least. If I stick with my current plan I’d only have two months left here. I’ve been in Spain for four weeks! This is absolutely nuts. I just wished people were friendlier here. People aren’t unfriendly, but small talk makes no sense to them. It’s kind of sad I think… but I’m from Kentucky. I don’t get a head nod or anything. Oh well. So I’ve been trying to plan out what I’m going to be doing the rest of my time here. Next week though I might either go to this small town Southwest of Alicante or Italy…yo no sé. Carnaval is this month too in Alicante. March is full up though. I’m gonna go to Granada the last day of Feb/first day of March. I’ll be going to Sevilla the first full weekend in March. Like the 6th – 8th I think… not too sure though, I’ll be going to Ireland for St. Patty’s Day. How pimp is that?! Then there’s las Fayas in Valencia the next week. Las Fayas is just a big party that completely takes over Valencia. Then the last weekend I’ll be going to Mallorca or Ibiza for my birthday! I mean for real, who goes to Ibiza for their birthday ever? At home…well at school…I’d just do nothing or go to Applebees. I need some trunks though. I swear they don’t sell regular swimming trunks here. This weekend I’m just chilling here though and going out with the homies… doing the same ol’ same ol’. I’m going to look pimp tonight though. I bought a new shirt at this store called Zara. I will look pimp. Oh, I met with my first intercambio this week. He seemed cool. His name is Ángel Blanco—un poquito raro yo pienso. Oh and this weekend I’m going to have an intercambio on roids. I just mean it’s going to be a big intercambio. Should be fun… I hope. Well, I need to take a nap.
