Head Cold Skate Sesh

It started Wednesday. After school, I got a cerveza and took my skateboard to atocha to skate this one spot I saw when I was visiting the Prado. When I got there, I was very disappointed.
They were erecting a new elephant statue and had my spot all roped off.

The elephant is awesome, but I was in the mood to skate. I skated up the street to Huertas, and saw all the party goers hitting the streets. I started to feel like I was getting a cold, so I went home and went to bed early. So I woke up the next morning with a huge headache and a bad sore throat. I took a 600 mg Ibuprofen I had bought at the farmacia for 2 euro. The medical system here is way better in my opinion. Anyways, I went to school and didn’t talk much in Spanish class because of my sore throat. We were learning the preterite tense and I knew a catchy song that my high school teacher Miss Branch taught me. I sang it to the class, and had the teacher laughing so hard. Not going to sing anymore in Spanish class. After Spanish class, I was feeling even worse and had a 3 hour break before my drawing class started so I went to the biblioteca and read a book on the historia de television and fell asleep for about 2 hours. I still wasn’t feeling good as I went to drawing class. We were doing a still life of oranges and a plate. My frustration of shading combined with my head cold was a bad combo. My drawing turned out terrible. I rode the metro home and figured out that I had left my keys in my room. All I wanted to do was siesta and take an ibuprofen. Luckily, my roommate Mike was there and buzzed me in. I took a siesta to rest up for Marisa who was coming at midnight.
