I know this one is a bit late but I thought it would still be worth posting despite us being almost in February. I'm not usually one to set goals in January, when the clock strikes 12 and everyone around me is eating their 12 raisins and making their 12 wishes, I just stuff my face with them and get on with my life. New Year's isn't really that big of a deal for me, if it weren't for my boyfriend I'd just spend it at home, drinking some delicious tea and watching Friends until I fell asleep. Having said that, it recently hit me that 2018 was quite a turn for me, I'm turning 23 this year, I've just finished university and I'm supposed to find my first job and move out, it all feels a bit overwhelming, so I thought this would be a good year to actually write down some of my goals as more of a guide and reminder to myself than anything else.
I feel as though I've found my perfect banana muffin/bread recipe, this isn't too oily, too heavy, too sweet, it's just right and somewhat filling, which is great to eat as a snack in school or work. Plus, it makes your house smell absolutely delicious.
I had been to Madrid before, although Madrid in January and Madrid in July are quite different. I did enjoy it a lot more the second time, but I'm pretty sure the company helped with that too. My boyfriend and I wanted to go away together for a few days after our exams and even though Madrid wasn't our first option, it was lovely seeing it with him. We bought our tickets, booked our room at The Hat Madrid, the same hostel where I had stayed at 2 years before, and after 12 hours riding buses and trains, we were there. We walked everywhere and so much that I couldn't stand on my feet even on our first night, the weather was immensely hot even though it was supposed to rain, we ate overpriced tapas, we fell in love with Chueca and kept coming back everyday and we managed to see Madrid during pride week and it was beautiful.
I thought I'd upload some pictures from our trip, and I'd like to apologize in advance for my phone's camera quality, I must invest in an actual camera instead of only buying analog cameras (which by the way I also took on this trip, pictures will soon be uploaded on my instagram).
