Today pretty much has been just like every other day of my break except the weather seems to be getting nicer, thankfully! It is definitely spring in Pamplona.
This morning started out with a little breakfast and my friend Tash came over to grab something. She is leaving tonight to go home for the rest of break. So I have another day or so alone but Angela comes back tomorrow. I am really glad, it is too quiet in the apartment.
Around 1 I went for a run. I headed on a trail that goes to the suburbs of the city. It is my favorite place to run because there is less noise and you aren't weaving around people in the park. I stopped for a little to enjoy the view of the mountains. Then I headed back towards the city center. As I was running back an older man joined me. He was very sweet and it was nice to have someone to talk to. His name was Ernesto and he was so shocked to meet an American on his run. He would yell "Bueno, campeon!" (Great, champ!) to every person he passed. He was also trying to give me tips for my half marathon this weekend. He was very nice and it was a surprising way to speak some Spanish. But all in all a good run.
When I got back, I dropped off the rent money at my landlord's right down the hall. My landlord asked me how I was and if I was still running every day. He cracks me up. Then I headed to the market to get some things. When I returned from Italy, I didn't really stock up on food because I thought I would be on that bike trip so I didn't want anything to go bad. On top of that everything has been closed for Holy Week. No worries though, I plenty now. After all my running around, I was productive and worked on my essay. It is getting close to being done. I think I am going to finish it all tomorrow so I don't have to worry about it anymore and if I need to I can edit it. I need to do some reading but I think I will do that before I go to sleep. Now I am just hanging out in our sun room, really our living room but I like to call it the sun room because you feel like you are outside in here. The sun is setting and we have a really pretty view of campus from our apartment. I am really trying to enjoy this last month that I have here, never mind the work that I am going to have as the semester closes.
Feliz dia!
