Today was definitely a shopping day. I didn't sleep in too late (only like 10:30), so had plenty of the morning to take advantage of. After breakfast (mi madre pretty much insisted, by way of Jorge, it was super cute), I went out on the town. First order of business: returning the earrings I bought yesterday to De Mil Colores. They were these really cute pink butterflies, but one popped off last night before my last class, and though I shoved it back on, I woke up missing both earrings. I was so mad. However, since I didn't have my receipt, they wouldn't exchange them. Officially never shopping there again, because I don't want to waste money on crap that's going to break the next day. Oh well. It actually worked out, because there's this really cute store by la catedral and I got a pair of shiny clear gemmed earrings there today that I like better anyway. Plus I think I found some other gifts for people. I also bought a new hair pretty to match my dress that I bought yesterday, because the dress is red and my other hair pretty was pink so it didn't work. I also stopped by the travel agency to book my bus ticket from Madrid to Barcelona for next weekend, so I have that much all set up and ready to go! Now just to get my ticket from Segovia to Madrid and find a freaking hostel!
After lunch and partway through siesta, Amie and I took the bus to the mall. It was an interesting experience (the mall, not the bus ride...the bus ride was pretty bus ride typical). It's more or less like any other mall, except half the first floor was a giant supermarket and it was open to the hall and there were shops along the side. I found a really cute pair of sandals for only 7E, and totally go them :D Also went to the supermarket section and got a bottle of Eristoff Black for only 9E, since it is not sold in the US. Then we ventured up to the second floor for Burger King! It was pretty tasty, though next time I'm definitely getting a Whopper cuz their cheeseburgers don't have any toppings on them! We rode the bus back and then stopped at this little store on the way back that was like a dollar store based on the crazy weird items that they had, but not quite on price. Amie found a really cute top and I got a bottle of nail polish (so my feet will look cute in my new sandals!).
After dinner, Amie and I met up with the group of Spanish students from Intercambios Monday night, because it was Daniel's (one of the Spanish students) birthday on Friday so they were celebrating and we were invited. And for the record, some of the Spanish students that we hung out with were female! It was a total blast though. Communicating when both parties know a little of the other language is a lot of fun, it's a lot of back and forth to figure out what's going on. I also had my first shot, which tasted like appley cough syrup. Wasn't bad. Time flew by and it's a good thing Amie had a watch, because I never would've guess it was 3am when we left!
