Today was a long day.
I had my Spanish Conversation class and my travel course that I'm taking for history credit. Conversation seems like it is going to be a good class and I will definitely get a lot out of it. The travel course seems like it's going to be lot more work than I expected. I'm taking the Spanish section and our final work is a 12 page paper (in Spanish!). Dios mio! It seems like with all of my classes combined there will be a lot of papers and projects. I thought this semester was supposed to be pretty easy but I think I'm going to have a lot of work! :/
Oh well I guess I will just have to use my time wisely and not procrastinate as much as I usually do. And as they say, "work hard, play hard." lol
After classes, all the students in the program were led around Old Madrid. This is a big tourist area that includes El Palacio Real, La Plaza Mayor, etc. It was nice, but I think we were all tired after a long day of classes and just kind of wanted to go home. Not to mention the tour group I was in was in Spanish, which sometimes makes it easier to give up on listening to. But I definitely plan on going to that area again; today was just a brief overview about some of the history. It will be great for pictures later.
After this, we took the metro home and left 10 minutes later to go out to a bar with Cristina and Conchi for Spanish tapas and sangria!! Cristina just finished a long, multiple day exam so she wanted to celebrate. Only Lexi, Michelle, and I went though because Erinn and Rachel felt sick. Lexi is also coughing a lot and I actually think my throat is starting to hurt too.. :/
But it was SO FUN! The bar was far away from our house, but was really popular-and as we say in the U.S.- "hoppin." 2 of Cris' friends joined us and we shared about 5 different kinds of tapas and went through like 3 pitchers of sangria. And, when we were about to leave, the bartender gave us all a shot of watermelon-flavored vodka for free. Who else's Senora goes out for drinks with them?!! I feel very lucky. So, even though I still have to do my homework for tomorrow, I would say it is often worth procrastinating, especially in MADRID.
Viva Espana! Viva mi familia en Espana!
