I never thought I'd say this but... thank god for the rain forecast. I know I'll probably wonder why I ever desired such a thing when I am actually enduring said rainy weather during my last two weeks in Madrid, but with all this gorgeous weather and these pesky essays due early next week, I think rain is the only chance that I'll actually get work done. And it would be good, you know, to not fail my vacation semester abroad simply because the weather is too beautiful.
But anyway, the weather here really has been beautiful. Since last weekend it's been in the high 70s and today it was 85 degrees and absolutely gorgeous. I'm still puzzled, though, when the weather is like this and yet I still get weird looks from Spaniards for wearing dresses without tights. GASP. I clearly must be out of my mind. But as it's supposed to be a ridiculously hot day again tomorrow, I guess they will just have to get over my bare legs.
Today we went to a production studio to see a filming of a Spanish sit-com, Aida. Which sounds like fun. In fact it was, for the first few minutes. After about ten minutes of watching, I was convinced that working in TV production could be a pretty fun job. However, an hour in, I had changed my mind - it's actually a very long and repetitive process. We watched one scene get filmed approximately ten times. It was kind of fun to see up front though, even if we had no background in the show itself.
Craving of the day: bagel and cream cheese.
Other random facts:
The courtyard neighbors have sung "Happy Birthday" three separate times this afternoon/ evening.
My host "sister" is doing Spanish-style jazzercise in the living room (from what I can overhear).
It appears that the above neighbor can only play one ONE song on the piano. It is the only song that I have heard all semester long. Couldn't he at least play "chopsticks" just to mix it up?
