those stupid kisses!

So, you know how I wrote about how when you meet someone you need to kiss them on both cheeks...well again the drama continues. Ok, so by now, I've met so many people (thus kissed them all twice) that I'd def. be called a "skank" in the US. I'm kind of getting the hang of it by now except today was THE WORST! I was out for a run in the local park and got back to my apt. (can you see where this is going?). I was super sweaty and gross and just ready for a shower when I walked in to find my roomie having a really nice lunch with her friends. They all stand up. I know what comes next. And I think just about every bad word in BOTH dictionaries were going through my head. Yup, that's right. I had to kiss them all being sweaty and gross and I didn't even know how to apologize. GROSS! Those poor people, I felt so bad.

Besides that horror, things are well. Tonight my roomies are taking me to La Noche en Blanca which is where all the musuems are open all night so that should be fun being out all night in Madrid with madrilenos. Right now I'm off to study in Retiro Park (like the Central Park of Europe). If I leave you with one thought of the day: Be glad all you have to do is shake hands in the states!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that I think about it my previous post sounds gross...it sounds like I kissed someone on the cheek after a bathroom incident...oh man!

Awe, I'm sure a sweaty kiss is still more personal than a handshake. A kid in one of my classes shakes all my Varsity team members' hands when they walk in and hate him for it! I think I'll tell him to get sweaty and then kiss everyone...he'll like that. Love reading your post and can't wait to talk to you again...much love.
