2/17/10

I slept in this morning because I didn't have class until 1. So when I got up I made some breakfast and then just hung out until I had to go to the university.

I only had 45 minutes of lecture today but it was cut even shorter because at least the first 15 minutes were spent debating the date of the midterm. I just sat around until they figured it out. I was getting a headache from all the Spanish at one time. There were quite a few opinions to say the least on the date of the test. Students should not be given the privilege of picking the date of a test, it wastes so much time. We barely got into any material but oh well.

After class I eventually made it out for a run even though it has rained constantly all day today. I won't complain though because it was a nice run. I found a nice park by la Plaza de toros (bull ring). I really like running up there. It might be because I really want to run with the bulls but that will have to be next time I am in Pamplona.

At 5 a group of us went for chocolate y churros. Yes twice in one week. Today was better than Monday though. The chocolate was thicker and the churros weren't cooked as much as last time. It was delicious and the 2€ price tag only makes it sweeter. I also talked to my friend Shannon, the point of meeting for churros, about going to Portugal in March. It doesn't look like we are going to be able to go because we would have to come back Monday and neither of us can miss classes on Monday. So we are thinking of going to Barcelona instead. I am dying to go to Barcelona. I desperately want to see Gaudi's architecture!! I am not permitting myself to leave Spain without visiting Barcelona. So I am really pulling for it that weekend. Other than that I have done some work tonight so I won't have to worry about anything when I go to Madrid this weekend. I am really excited for the Madrid trip too! Traveling is just awesome overall.

Hasta luego!
