An OTTERLY fantastic blog post.

Oh hey.

This week Paddy's day celebrations meant lots of beer and lots of pizza followed by lots of judgement in my lecture the following day. Essay writing all week, then myself and Ruby decided to be very organised and proof read and submit our essays the night before the deadline, the long and short of the story is we accidentally submitted our essays on each others portal accounts. After panic emailing every member of staff at the university working in the language department and those with Spanish sounding names just for good measure it was sorted. However not after I expect the language department had a jolly old chortle at our general incompetence. 

Then we embarked on another night out where I made friends with Señor Jagermeister again, forgetting he is the kind of backstabbing friend that punishes you for the entire next day.

Today is World Water Day, fun fact. We celebrated by walking to the bus station and getting soaked from head to toe in the pouring rain. We caught the bus to Gijon and visited the aquarium which was, I may add, fintastic*. We were probably more excitable than the majority of the children in there, because it was incredible. My personal highlight of the day was an otter. He was probably the happiest animal I have ever seen in my life and all he was doing was diving into the water and swimming. Let us learn from the otter: happiness is that simple. I did video the aforementioned otter, but fear I cannot show it to anyone as I don't wish to put you through the torture of hearing me repeat the phrase 'I wish I was an otter' 10 times, but you should know, I do. 

We're both over the age of 20.

In culture embracing fashion we went for lunch/dinner at an American diner. It being 5 o'clock which is an unheard of time in Spain to eat, the diner was dead, but we gorged on all the deep fried food in the world and generally loved life. Following the usual 'trying to catch the waiters attention to ask for the bill but being too British to be forward' debacle we were on our merry way back to Oviedo.
