Hi, guys. Happy New Year. I can't wait to be back in school to find out about all of

2
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:14,660
your holidays. I hope you're all enjoying the snow and this breezing weather. But until

3
00:00:14,660 --> 00:00:20,320
then, I'm going to talk a little bit about what I did this break for how I spent my holidays.

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:31,120
um so yeah let's go um so i spent most of this holiday season uh in valencia actually i couldn't

5
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:38,600
go home to new jersey so instead i went to valencia with sabrina the other auxiliar and

6
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:47,159
some other friends um and i love valencia it was so beautiful uh we went to some museums i went to

7
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:53,179
the beach. I went to Albufera, which is a big lake south of the city, which is really

8
00:00:53,179 --> 00:01:03,119
beautiful. And I spent Christmas and New Year's just with friends there. And I couldn't be

9
00:01:03,119 --> 00:01:09,900
with my family, but of course we did a bunch of big Zoom calls with the computer, so I

10
00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:16,099
got to see all of my cousins and aunts and uncles and my grandmother over Zoom, and we

11
00:01:16,099 --> 00:01:25,700
a lot of calls that way, yeah. Also in Valencia I had my first roscón for the first time and that

12
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:34,500
was really good, but unfortunately I didn't get the king, but maybe next year. Let's see,

13
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:42,980
after Valencia I came back to Madrid right before the snow started, so I had a couple of days here

14
00:01:42,980 --> 00:01:52,560
just relaxing. And then the day that it snowed on Saturday, I was inside mostly just watching

15
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,819
it happen. It was really beautiful, although usually we do get snow like this in New Jersey,

16
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:07,000
so I'm sort of used to it. On Saturday, I did go out and I walked around in the snow,

17
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,520
but most of the time since then I've been staying inside, avoiding the cold.

18
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:22,259
So in my free time here I've been doing a lot of reading, I've been cooking, I've been practicing piano.

19
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:32,699
I've been baking, I made a bunch of cookies earlier this week.

20
00:02:32,699 --> 00:02:36,259
I've also been watching movies

21
00:02:36,259 --> 00:02:37,979
and just relaxing

22
00:02:37,979 --> 00:02:40,300
and trying to keep as warm as possible

23
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:41,580
so

24
00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:44,259
it's been nice

25
00:02:44,259 --> 00:02:46,319
I'm ready to get back to work though

26
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:47,639
ready to go back into school

27
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,979
and I'm excited to see you all

28
00:02:49,979 --> 00:02:51,460
next week, hopefully

29
00:02:51,460 --> 00:02:52,120

30
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,060
