Incredible! A Scandal! Beyoncé!

This week has been really good. Beyoncé gave us a reason to live again, I've been watching the lovely guilty-pleasure show Scandal, and of course, the end of the semester gives us all a little desperation to make us actually hang out with our friends and do things we should have been doing all along. So Thursday night, instead of going to Triskel's for open mic night as per usual, we ended up going to Naif Burger because Sam loves their burgers and nachos and we all wanted some hearty cheesy food. This would be the evening we discovered that the British, for once, say something in a less sofisticated way than the Americans do. Instead of saying nawchos and tawcos and whatnot, the British say nAchos and tAcos (like the "a" in cat). And it's disgusting. I mean, I really don't know what they're thinking. They aren't English words! You have to say them with the A the Spanish use! Ah! Getting to know British friends has involved numerous arguments over the pronunciation or usage or meaning of certain words and it's generally something we can just agree to disagree about. But this is ridiculous.

This weekend, I tested how much tv I could watch without melting my brain. Haven't hit the point of no return yet, so I'll continue experiments. 

On Sunday, Hannah, Julie and I went to a cafe to begin planning our Christmas holiday trip. I wanted to go to Morocco originally, but getting there is a little expensive when you leave it to the last minute, even if everything else is super cheap. That, and I'd like to be able to swim in the ocean when I go, so I'm thinking I might save that for spring break. So instead we're going to Granada, from this Saturday to Christmas Eve. We decided we want to be in Madrid for Christmas Day since most things would be closed anyway and we want to be somewhere familiar. But three days is plenty of time to see Granada, and we're really excited! 

Last night I watched the Incredibles with Sam and if you've forgotten how good that movie is, I'm sorry for you. So many great characters and lines! Apparently my friends are nervous when I write about them on here, but it was a fun night, even if I stayed up later than I should have on a school night. But it's the last week of school, so you gotta go a little crazy!
