Watch as I explore a new country, culture, language... and everything in between.

gotta be brief.

so today i did no homework. which would be fine if i wasn´t going all over the east coast of spain for the weekend, returning for a soccer game on sunday night, and my first (and hardest) exam wasn´t tuesday. but i´m more concerned about learning about the real history and culture of spain, not the ¨culture and civilization¨ exam that will be on the text of our book about the same things i´m learning in real life. plus, after visiting the dali museum, i am gonna be able to write a kick-ass essay on dali´s surrealism and the way he doesn´t use logical reason in his paintings (and be able to provide examples)! so there, profesora ana! maybe a little studying on the bus rides too...

i´m out of my ¨get me out of spain¨ phase cuz i realized i have 10 days left and so much to do before i leave! get another gofre at the cafe di roma, get back ot all the pamplona parks and take pictures, master amaia´s music collection, study for 3 exams, find some kind of outfit for our fancy last-night-in-pamplona dinner, and the list goes on.

i will write all about the crazy weekend i´m about to have when i get back. let´s just say i´m taking aunt fran´s idea (and dad´s too... got an email from him also) and going to Girona, an old city with a lot of Jewish history, Figueres, the small city with the Dalí Museum, Roses, a city on la costa brava (the prettiest coast in spain, so i hear... is in the east of cataluña), and staying in Barcelona for a night. soooo that´s about let´s count.... 6 buses. 6 different buses! whew! some of the bus rides are only 30 minutes or so cuz figures and girona and roses are all really close to each other. the long ones are pamplona to barcelona and so on. yay! a good weekend to finish off my study abroad trip! we have our hotels and hostels reserved this time, so yay!

ok, me voy. i´m going! see you all soon :)
