So I've not done a post for last week, and that's purely because nothing that exciting has occurred other than my folks came to Ali-Alicante para visitarme. So this will probably be a short and sweet post.

Firstly, last weeks events. Last week I started to go off my vegan diet, which some of you will be happy about. I seriously was missing meat too much. I caved. Sorry. I am a carnivore. I have also to the end of my two weeks of non alcoholic beverages, and started on the Beer and Tequila again when I go out con mis amigos. I also found a tandem partner in the form of a Spanish guy from my Translation class, so I will start Spanish Speaking sessions with him soon. Very excited. I beached a fair amount last week, the weather was however a bit dull towards the end of the week and I'm starting to feel the temperature drop a bit, which is disappointing as I came here for sun. Mi Madre y mi Padre were also here last week and we made a short trip to Benidorm, which was a nightmare travel wise. The tram took an age and was annoying as the tram station is nowhere near the sea front which was the location my parents wanted. So as you can imagine my mother was annoyed about this... which was fantastic... Dad was equally annoyed... woop. bonus. Although that all went away when we arrived at the front and we had a grand time. All in all, I believe my parents had a nice time in Alicante.

Secondly, today. A) Erasmus Grant is in my account. I'm buzzing. Literally soo happy that I can start travelling and seeing a bit more of Spain and maybe, just maybe go to Geneva/Lausanne to Toby (a mate of mine on Erasmus there from Bangor).  B) Miss Holly Charlesworth, is OFFICIALLY coming to visit moi in about 3 weeks time! Again, Buzzing! Soo happy to finally see someone from Bangor-land in the flesh and not just skype and Facebook. I'm hoping she's feeling equally excited! (check out her blog @  http://hollyseuropeanadventures.blogspot.co.uk/). C) I started my beginners course in Catalan today. Which I thoroughly enjoyed, despite the fact I had to get up at 6am just I could get the bus for 7am, as the lecture started at 8am. 7am I have decided is a disgusting hour to be in Uni and should not be allowed in any EU country. The lesson, nevertheless, was brillant and I hope I can get the hang of it, it's going to hard though I think... There are a lot of elements from Spanish, French and Italian, all of which I use regularly and also Galician, which I have knowledge of, so I can I see myself 1) getting confused and 2) speaking one of the 4 aforementioned languages. D) We still have no Internet. I'm livid.

And Finally, I just wanted to send people the news of that my next post will be in Spanish, however I will provide a transcript.

TTFN!
