Ever since I finished that paper on Wednesday early morning? I have done nothing. Well, I may have done something, but nothing worth mentioning or productive. I have not touched any of my school books or notes, and I still have two papers to write by Sunday [they're not due then but Monday I need to start studying for my first final].

I have also not gone on any day trips [to Girona or Sitges or wherever] because the weather is still crappy. Meanwhile back home in Germany it is over 30°C [85°F] because you know, as of this spring, Germany is the country with the nice weather, and Spain only gets the crappy weather. I do have to admit that the cooler, overcast weather [with around 20°C/70°F] is better for running, but that is the only thing it is good for.

But anyway, enough of the weather, it seems all I ever talk about lately, so let’s talk about food! Today I made fruit salad. And even though the weather is not at all summer-ish, the ingredients for my fruit salad were. And that makes me happy. Because I love summer fruit. Making fruit salat is a bit of a pain because you have to chop all these fruits [using cherries and grapes with seeds make it even worse] but the result is so worth it. It was absolutely delicious.

It made for a great afternoon snack and dessert after dinner [pizza margherita, yum!], and I believe there is even some more left over in the fridge.

And while we are talking about fruit, I would have never thought that fruit juice and milk would taste good together, but there is this beverage brand here called Funciona and their beverages are actually really tasty and refreshing.

By the way, I have finally decided to become a bit more active on 20-Something Bloggers, and have added some of you on there, but I am not sure if I have missed any. Please let me know if you are a member so I can add you (you can find me here). And also let me know if you are on Twitter and I haven’t added you there yet (find me here).

Thankfully I have my parents to keep me updated on local news. Yesterday my parents mentioned on the phone to me that Barcelona is being supplied with water by ships. Really? As usual, when it comes to local news, I didn’t have the foggiest clue. I admit that I do not follow local [or national] news at all. At least while I am living in Spain. Back home I am not that ignorant.

I did know we’ve been having a really bad drought. And that they’ve turned off public fountains. But it does seem to be really bad, apparently it is the worst drought of the past 60 years. The past two weeks we have been getting more rain though [more than in the entire time I've been here it seems] and apparently the situation has gotten a little better. But getting water shipped in? That sounds really bad [the fact that they have to, the fact that they can is great].

Yet, here I am, wishing for sunshine! I suppose, considering the situation that is a bit selfish of me, but damn, it has been depressingly cloudy lately. How about this, TPTB: make it rain during the night, and then we get sunshine all day, deal?
