My week without my classmates!

Hi guys!!! Yes, I'm one of the two girls that didn't go to Madrid. I was very sad bacause of the fact that I couldn't go with my classmates on the school trip, but I had my reasons if I didn't go with them.
My week without my classmates began the 29 of March. It was a  boring week but at the same time funny. Generally if we hadn't got a teacher, Fabiola and I went to the other classes so we wouldn't be alone. We enjoyed especially when we were in the 4A because their jokes were very funny!. Often the time didn't pass and staying six hours without having something to do was so boring. But one positive aspect was that the teachers understood us and so at the end it wasn't so bad to stay at school. With one teacher, we even went into the town centre to see the shops, it was very funny. What else can I say?! There aren't a lot of  special things to say. Well, another positive thing that I can say it is that it was a week where we didn't have any interrogations, I wish every week was like that and only when this wish will come true, I will say: ''Life is good''.
It was very strange to stay at school without my classmates and for the first time I missed my classmates because one thing is when you are on holiday and so you don't feel their absence. Another thing is when you are alone in your class without the other people.
Maybe during that week I understood how much my classmates are important for me, how I miss them when they are missing and how it's boring without them :-).

P.S. Hey you classmates that will read this post, I hope you don't feel important because I wrote that I missed you. You aren't as important you know ;)  :-)

Maaaaaaaaaaaaadriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! :-)

Hi guys! As you can see from the title I went to Madrid on a school trip! I went there with my class on Tuesday March 29th  to April 2nd.
I was very excited thinking of spending 5 days in Madrid with my class, I had never been there before!
<- Here is a picture of us, maybe someone is missing but I couldn't find a better one. :)
Let the adventure begin!
Our trip began in Jerzu, where we took the bus to our first stage: Alghero!
There we caught the plane to Barajas, the airport of Madrid. Then a bus called Julia took us to the... hotel (lol).
Let's say that at first it didn't make us a good impression, it was like a big labyrint and it took longer to get our room than to arrive in Madrid from Alghero. :) By the way once arrived and put us up in our rooms we went to sleep. ZZZ...
The day after, on wednesday, we woke up, well how can I put it, well we were veeeeeeeeeeery tired! :D
We had breakfast in a restaurant a few steps ahead from the hotel called "La Vera",where we had dinner too, they all were really kind with us and the food was really nice! That day started our voyage of discovery of the three amazing museums with The Reina Sofia, it was really nice and enriched us with its artistic heritage... on thursday and on friday we visited The Thyssen and The Prado, and we also visited The Real Academia de San Fernando, el Palacio Real... 
We usually viseted museums and important places in the morning, at lunch time we went in groups and we looked for something to eat LOOOOOOOOL :), the first day I ate chinese in a big shopping center insted the other day i opted for something madilenian: bocadillo de tortilla de patatas, bocadillo de ternera and tapas: a wide variety of spanish snacks.                                                                ->
I didn't expect that Madrid was so beautiful! There was a lot of entertainment, in every corner of the city: buskers, bookstalls... But the best was by night! Madrid during the day seems really quite, not so caothic... but in the nigh la movida madrileña takes the place of the calm! On wednesday, for example, we went out after dinner and we went to see a flamenco show, it was great and then we start dancing the macarena dance and everybody was looking at us both amused and scared... on thursday  a square, there were too many squares to remember all the names X), and and there was a man playing with fire who did a really good show! On friday we went to plaza Mayor after dinner and it was amazing!
We did a lot of shopping because there were a lot of nice shops! The problem was when we had to put them in the case. We broke all the rules of Physics to fit everything in it :)


I had a lot of fun with my class in this trip, I sang out loud in a shopping centre, I made a complete fool of myself trying to speak spanish (well in Spain no one speaks english...) I can say that the trip was fabulous! :D


PS: I had to by something for my friends and I found a really original souvenir: lol :D
