What a crazy week this has been. Between shots of awga, school strikes and a whole lot of cold medicine - Malaga - as usual - never fails to surprise and provide us all with stories and memories to tell.
Let's start this wee little recap with the weekend, or with what I can remember from it. Fear not Patti, it doesn't have to do with being drugged - but everything to do with having so much fun all of the nights collide into one!! Haha. It started out as a typical weekend in the South of Spain, plentiful with friends, drinks and dancing until the wee hours of the morning....wait a minute....more like late hours of the morning. Greeted with free shots and great company - although, terrible shots at "Shit o'clock"...cringe. Then, followed our crazy activities that are necessary for a good time. Like, stealing an apple from the bar - taking a bite and putting it back on the rack. Only to have Lily grab it, finish it and steal another one that we devoured outside. Thanks so much Ektor (good thing the owner likes us). We drank in the streets and at the old Malaga ruins - note to all: don't let the security team catch you attempting to pop-a-squat near historical ruins.. "CAYO! CAYO!". Then, of course, some dancing on top of the speakers at Sala White - no, I'm sorry to disappoint folks, but this time I didn't do a contemporary dance. But - I definitely had to represent the Canadian bacon. And lastly, some broken Spanish cursing at creepy vultures, broken hearts and more drunk food than I can care to remember. Oh. And I cannot forget to add that I love to make friends with the Spanish street cleaners, Jose Luis and Raul were the bomb....
Gallivanting late at night in the streets of Malaga city-centre has just become a part of our daily routine - and I couldn't have met better people to do it with. Leaving this International family behind is going to be such a struggle for me in December - as cliche as it sounds - we're a little mixed family. And I'm proud to be the only Tim-Bit of the crew! I will be a very sad girl to leave them, and leave this. I'm the first one to go in December, I'm the only one not coming back after Christmas - so it will be a bittersweet departure...but I've got something sweet waiting for me on the other end. :)
I told you we stole some apples.

As for school this week, the Spanish students took a stand against the University and went on strike from Tuesday - Thursday. Protesting against increased tuition and lowering of teachers wages. This allowed for the cancelling of classes - happy campers we are. However - I spent my days laying in bed with a terrible cold. Classes commence again tomorrow - and it will be the first time I attend my 3rd year English/Spanish translation module. Heaven help me!
And a funny story I must add happened today while walking with two of my besties to the bus stop. As I've stated before, the male population here adores women and adores verbally harassing them. I can't walk to the grocery store without getting grunted at, yelled to, or whistled at. My favourite? We walked by about 6 guys on the sidewalk and some bloke must've thought he was the next Enrique Ingleses because he started singing "LA LA LA BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL". Normally, we are able to keep straight faces and ignore it - but there was just something about this man's off-key voice that made me burst into hysterical laughter.
As for now? I'm going to follow my regular Thursday night ritual and head to the British Castle for prinks and giggles. Because, this week I haven't been able to wipe this goofy smile off of my face!
TTFN.
