Hola!
As you may or may not have figured out, my life pretty much consists of work at the moment and the occasional shopping spree or trip to the internet café. I am now starting my third week straight without a day off and it wasn’t until a couple of days ago that I realised this will not go on forever. As for the week after this one, I will have 2 days off every week! How great isn’t that? But I am a bit afraid it will make me less good at my job..
It has started to become increasingly busy now in the pub. A lot of ‘holiday-makers’ are coming in ordering this and that – many strange things. If someone says ‘don’t you know that?’ when I ask them about a drink they’ve ordered I will just say ‘No, I don’t, ‘cause I am from Sweden and we drink civilised drinks there’. ;-)
Oh and I meant to tell you all that Saddam Hussein doesn’t seem to be dead. He keeps on coming in for half pints close to closing time more or less every day. Alert the media, alert the world! ;-)
It is apparently possible to check the results from Valla online so I will do that at some point. Keep your fingers crossed. Talking about the university there; remember the literature course I took there? Well, I am half way through one of them books we were supposed to read. Better late than never, right? ;-)
So I guess that’s all for now.
Hasta luego!

Life goes on
Hola!
Life in Torrevieja has started to become routine. We still haven’t been touristing or found shops in the city centre. But the ceiling in my bedroom has started to leak (and stopped as we found the reason for it), we’ve encountered our first (hopefully the last) cockroach (monster!) in the apartment, Fiona fell into the sea and I have realised that people drink very strange drinks. Jolita, who is working in a restaurant where basically only men work, have been asked out by every single one of them. Fiona and I saw “L’auberge espagnol” (Pot luck), a movie about being Erasmus, and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t corresponding to our experiences. I have realised I miss Sweden and started to get more and more annoyed with Spanish people – the truth is that I can’t wait to come home to a civilised country where people are normal and where things get done quickly, not left undone with the excuse “well, it’s after 14 and it’s Friday”. P-lease! But I am still enjoying the hot weather when it isn’t too warm and spending too much money on clothes that I will have problems bringing home… Oh well. It will all work out, somehow.
