"Superquickamente"

I finished my classes and I think I failed them both. (Just kidding...)

Actually, things ended really well. My presentation in culture class was supposed to be 15-20 minutes and it ended up being like a half hour, plus Dawn´s 20 minutes... I was kind of embarrassed about it, but I think we did really well so then I got over it. Then, when I turned in my incredibly horrible, uneditted 10-page paper, the profesora told me she had forgotten about it. So hopefully it´s not that important. Today, our grammar profesor, Manolo, took us out to a cafe for coffee. It was a fun way to end the class.

Also, Sunday night a boy who was on the Chile program happened to be in Granada. I met up with him and the three other girls here who were on that program. We had a lot of fun remembering what a silly time we´d all shared in South America.

Oh, some of my friends will appreciate this story. I had a pretty bad day on Monday. First, I was still feeling sick from my cold. Then, Dawn and I had to walk all over the place until we could find a working printer. On the way back to school, I tripped over a two-foot-high post that keeps cars off the sidewalk and landed flat on my face. These posts literally line all the sidewalks in the city and are about 4 feet apart from one another. Why I didn´t see it remains a mystery. Needless to say, the incident was very remniscent of my famous fall in seventh grade on the blacktop in front of our middle school. Though this time, it was witnessed by five homeless men instead of my twelve-year-old friends, and the homeless men actually showed a tiny bit of concern as opposed to uncontrollable amusement... After that, María Pepa made some soup with little baby octupus bodies in it for lunch and I had to keep my eyes closed as I ate it. Then, the WiFi stopped working at the €1.80/hr CiberCafe and I was up until 3 am finishing my project...

But yes, things are better now. I am leaving for Scottland and Ireland tomorrow and I´m very excited! Perhaps I will be able to update while I´m away...we´ll see. Also, as you might have guessed, my pictures have yet to be updated. I´ll see what I can do.
