Today I had midterms... yes, I, too, am surprised that I'm halfway through my time here in Spain. I had a Grammar midterm and a Culture midterm. Grammar was interesting... not sure how well I did there :/ But Culture went pretty well, I think (with the exception of not knowing specifics about major holidays in Spain).
I'm tired of the food in the cafeteria here. It's always the same thing. And I eat too much bread (it's not good for the mid-section). And ice cream. I eat waaaay too much ice cream. But it's so good, and that's nothing unusual for me, really ;)
Hmmm what else? Men are kinda creepy here. Okay, they're creepy in the US, too, but here I don't always understand what creepy things they are whispering or yelling out of their cars. So yes, they are creepy. Oh, and I finally emailed a girl to try to get a new conversation partner. She wants to practice English and I want to practice Spanish, so I hope we can come together a few times a week before I leave and work on conversation. Hopefully that goes well! Also, I saw a man have a heart attack (or stroke... not sure really) in the Plaza Mayor the other night. It was horrific and I won't dare try to explain the pain I felt for this man as I watched him suffer 10 feet from me, but that was certainly an experience that shook me.
Tomorrow morning I am leaving for Portugal for the weekend. We've got some tours set up and some designated beach time in Lisboa (the capital), of course. I can't wait to post all those pictures! It'll be fun to do something different. And I found out that next weekend is a free weekend for me so I'm going to do some research and find a cheap train ticket somewhere... not sure where yet, but I'll keep you all posted.
Alright, the next post is sure to be more appetizing... until then!
Catch me later :)
