heading?

Nothing special to write. I'm having a flu - thanks to the lovely fact that it's colder inside the house than outside <3... that's just so wrong!

Yesterday - welcome meeting at the university. got my timetable. Mondays - just 2 hours of school in the evening, Tuesdays-Thursdays - 2 hours in the "morning" and 2 hours in the evening, Fridays - just 2 hours in the morning. not too hard, except for the French course that I'm so not going to pass as my head is already messed up because of English and especially Spanish. talking to J via Skype for almost 2 hours.

Today - my voice was gone. I had to escape the coldness (inside the house) by going out. so i went for shopping. I skipped the library tour as i felt terrible when i came back from the shopping session. fever - i guess not, but my voice is weak and my throat is killing me. talking to J via Skype over an hour with my lovely voice.

That's all for now. I'm a bit upset because of this damn flu and stuff. Tomorrow I have to feel better as it's time for Valencia CF - FC Barcelona.

J, I wish you were here now. Miss you, a lot.

Today hasn't been exactly the easiest one for me. I didn't get to sleep last night, as it was so noisy everywhere and my room was cold. There were some partying going on upstairs, at the pub downstairs and in "a park" right under my window (okay we are living on the fifth floor but you know what I mean) and the people were yelling and screaming and laughing out loud so I gave up on trying to sleep at 6am (I had slept maybe half an hour by then). In addition, the wind rattled (kolisteli?) my window and the curtain-thingy outside it so it didn't help either. after 8am I started trying again and slept maybe a few hours. So I've spent this day by being tired, being sad (because of tiredness), eating and watching Grey's anatomy.. Now I can honestly say that everything feels at least ten times worse when you're exhausted - today I've noticed it mainly by missing J. a lot. Today I even felt that I would give anything to be back at home with him as it feels like I've been a lot longer away than just over a week. I just can't even express how much i miss him right now :( <3

But hey, tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to sleep now so that I would be in a better mood in the morning as my school starts. at 10.30am we are having a welcoming meeting so.. good night to all of you.

Bioparc

WE GOT THE TICKETS TO VALENCIA CF - FC BARCELONA MATCH!! I'm sooo excited and happy!

Okay, so, today we went to Bioparc. I'm not going to list every single animal we saw, but if you want more information about Valencia's Bioparc, visit this page.

And here are some pictures I took today.
 

let's move!

As you can figure out from the heading, we moved today. So this apartment is gonna be my home 'till the end of June. Finally I got to unpack my bags and settle down in here.

Today started by signing the contract of the apartment. I saw the apartment for the first time (the others had seen it once before). We made the room decisions and the owner gave me the keys immediately. We had thought that he wouldn't let us move until the first of February, but he said that it's up to us when we wanna move. So we headed to a shopping center (mainly to buy cleaning stuff and all the useful things we're gonna need in the new apartment), took those things back here, went to Ksenia's old place, packed our stuff and took our bags here. So; moving - done. Okay Ksenia still has some things at the old apartment as she couldn't take everything at once but still.

I've already unpacked my clothes and all, so my room is starting to look cosy (except the table, it's messy). I haven't taken any pictures of the apartment yet but I guess you will see them some other day.

As I haven't got new pictures for today (it was so cloudy that the pictures I took aren't so nice), you can watch some beautiful pictures of some places I want to visit in the future. Enjoy!

PS! How is it possible that I almost forget to tell you maybe the most important thing...?! We are trying to get tickets to the next Wednesday's football match: Valencia CF - FC BARCELONA! (Copa del Rey semifinals) It will be played at Valencia's home stadium, Mestalla, which is located very near to us, so let's hope everything goes well.. That one I really don't wanna miss!!
