Holy Moly 9 Weeks Down!

Nine weeks in Spain done!

Time has really been flying by.  This week was only 4 days long since Tuesday was an international Spanish Speakers holiday (we didn't have class on Monday because of it). On Tuesday when I went to class there was no one outside, and no one in the metro!  It was almost creepy it was so quiet!

I couldn't do any of the activities this week at school because 1) I had class or 2) I had already done them! Yes, it's gotten to the point where I've done all the activities at school.  I tried (and succeeded for the most part) to be productive this week. And since this blog post is up-to-date and not from 2 weeks ago I think I did well.

I had my second written exam on Friday. I studied a lot, so I'm hoping to do as well as I did on the last one, or better. It's really important to me that I get good grades here, because they will affect my GPA at Clark.

I've finally finished planning all my trips so in the next few weeks look for updates on: Nana and Pa visit Spain, Rome, Barcelona, Granada, Edinburg, Palma de Mallorca, and the end of the semester.... Yes I said it the end. That is how many weeks are left here in Spain. In fact, if my calendar is up-to-date (which is always is...) then Monday is the half way point! Crazy, I know.

I've done some Christmas shopping, but I still need to get a few more things for my favorite people. I can't decide if I should get something nice for myself too. I'm grappling with the spending 18 weeks here in Spain is my present, or do I want to get myself one nice thing. The last time I went to Spain, I got myself some Mallorcan pearl earrings, but I also had more money then.... I'll have to think more about it.

The construction around my house still continues. It's gotten to the point where I have to walk all the way around the block in order to get to the metro station. It's ridiculous. They work from about 7 am to 8 pm everyday and still it's not finished. I'm probably going to be gone before it gets finished, which annoys me, because I really want to see it done....

Next update will be on my day trip to Salamanca!
