Trabajo, Por que? Pensaba que esto era un vacación!!
Well classes are officially in full swing now which means tons of work for me but luckily most of it will be done by next week and I can return to my tranquil spanish live which I have grown to love! Anyways, I will begin on a more exciting note! This past Wednesday we attempted to get tickets to the Spain England Friendly (thats a soccer match) and failed, which I am sure you are wondering how this is an exciting note. It is exciting because even though I didn't get to go in the stadium the atmosphere around the stadium before the game was INCREDIBLE. It was like Franklin street after a Duke win and the game hadn't even begun! People were standing on top of things, they were wearing spanish flags as capes, faces were painted, and I think everyone had an air horn, which was rather obnoxious. Hours before the game there were people riding around in cars with bullhorns showing their support for their team. It was rediculous!! And I loved every minute of it. We attempted to buy some scalped tickets but we couldn't find any in our price range. Anyways about ten minutes into the game two girls we met, Mirais and Amanda, bought two tickets for 40 euro each but it turns out they had been used and passed back through the line so they were worthless. After this Esteban and I decided it was time to just find a bar to watch the game in and not risk losin money. So we walked with Mirais (from New Orleans) and Amanda (from Virginia) to a bar to watch the game. I left with Mirais and Amanda to get some pizza and then we headed back to Los Remedios. Thursday wasn't too bad because I get done with class at 2 and I am done for the week which is great! Laura and I went out with some other people from the program but I had a headache so i went home early and by early I mean like 230 AM haha early is relative here. I did a good bit of sleeping on friday but i was awoken to the sound of the door buzzer as the maid arrives promptly at 12. which meant I struggled to find some shorts to put on haha because the blackout shutters were closed so the room was pitch black haha and of course the maid didn't just hit the button once, she wanted to make sure i was up and about haha! So I did some homework on Friday afternoon and went for a run before lunch and then after lunch I went to the centro with Rebecca and got a new shirt to wear with my sweater haha. Then we went out Friday night. Friday was a great day it was beautiful!! Saturday was the same so we went down by the river and walked and sat it was soo nice and so quiet haha it was amazing!! I dont think it is ever that quite in a city in America. Anyways it was a pretty good week/weekend and it was a ton of fun just to hang around Sevilla!! I hope all is well at home and I miss you all.
