Day 13; Starting to Switch Back

I've come up with the brilliant idea of attempting to switch back to my time zone while I'm still in Spain. The only issue is I still need to get up around 8:15 every morning, which is 2:15AM NJ time, so I'm too sure if this plan will work.

This past week I've gotten rather close with Camila, one of the girls in the Break Out Group I'm part of. She's so sweet and seems to really be coming out of her shell, which makes me sad knowing that I'll be leaving, and probably never see her again.

My group on the service team has somehow gotten assigned to a lot of free time this week. Monday and Friday or really the only two days that are full on the schedule, but I'm making the best of it. I've gone around taking pictures, and asking random people if they need help, and most oftentimes they do. Today I helped make different props for the graduation ceremony on Friday. It's going to be so adorable! The youngest group, the Reds are going to be doing a "In the Jungle the Lion Sleeps Tonight" type of theme, the next group, the Greens are doing a "Camp Rock" theme, and the oldest, the Blues, and doing a "Pirates of the Caribbean" theme. If they turn out nice, the pictures will be incredible, hopefully.

Today I ran 5k (just in case you wanted to know), and actually enjoyed myself until the driness made it difficult to breathe. But running around Tres Cantos is very nice. I get strange looks though. So far I have yet to see one female runner. And one runner that looks to be under the age of 19. That makes me kinda odd, a female teenaged runner.

Tres Cantos is set out in a way that to me is slightly unusual. From my knowledge, there are sectors here that are strictly for business, but everywhere else there are apartment complexes everywhere: but on the bottom floor of a lot of the complexes, there are stores built in. Little tiny privately own deals. It's actually really neat, and if I get the chance I'm going togo look at some tomorrow afternoon.

And for that I need energy, so I need to sleep. Until tomorrow. =]
