Yesterday I headed to class at 12 but there was a sign on the door that said class had been canceled. I have never had a class that was canceled this much! There are quite a few differences coming from a small college like WJ to a large university like Navarra. Things are just done differently plain and simple. I think that the biggest difference is that most of my professors do not know my name. I didn't know that it would be as big of a shock to me as it is sometimes. I miss actually being known in class.
When I came back from the university there were quite a few people at my apartment. We eventually made it outside and sat out in the sun. It was super nice yesterday and also today, actually hot for a change. We sat in the grass by our building but were kicked out by municipality workers that were turning on the sprinklers. I had to go anyway to a group meeting to finish our map project. We met with the group members that couldn't make it last time and explained what we did and then wrote our commentary to present the map. I had input but they had some nice transition phrases that I was trying to remember for future writing. I should have been writing them down! It is sad that I am fascinated by Spanish phrases for writing but it only helps me! That was pretty much the highlight of my day as well. I didn't end up doing much after the meeting.
Today I had geografia at 11. We started a little late because everyone had questions about the map project and the professor was late but we eventually got going and were let out early. Not too bad for a nice spring day! I went for a run after class. It was so nice to run in the sun and feel like summer is getting close. I really do love running in Pamplona. I think it might be one of my favorite places that I have run in. It is such an amazing mesh of an urban setting against the little pueblos in the mountains. Basically I run in the city but can see a beautiful rural setting right outside the city limits. Unfortunately the beautiful day did not help my allergies. I am not feeling 100% today because my allergies are so bad and I even took medicine so I took a nap. It was not fun to go to my business theory class after my nap but the class was actually one of the better ones because we did more dynamic activities.
We did a so called "experiment" in groups of three. Angela and I were with a very nice Spanish girl. We had a lot of interaction with the class today which was nice. Our experiment consisted of us writing down as many 3 or 4 digit numbers as we could think of that abide by the given rules. I think our group did pretty well. After that we filled in surveys that are used to evaluate potential directors for big companies. It was long and the questions were interesting. We have presentations the next two weeks and my group really needs to start working on ours.
Currently I am just lying around because I am not feeling like myself but hopefully I will feel great tomorrow so I can really enjoy the spring weather.
Un saludo cordial
