SUNNY!!!!

So let's see, I guess I'll start with Monday, since Sunday I did not do much of anything. Monday I did not do much of anything as well, although I did have class. I like my teachers here. We speak a lot in class which is really what I need to practice. It is natural for me to read and listen to people talk, but sometimes creating sentences with any sort of grammatical structure is difficult. Sometimes I think I resist being good at it, because it is so weird for me to not be constantly thinking in English and translating things back into English and just letting it be Spanish.
Yesterday morning I got myself out of bed at 10 o'clock. I made my omelet {which I've gotten pretty good at, although, Jess, this does not mean you do not have to make them for me anymore...I just might forget} and then read a little of my book. Then I decided to walk to Placa Espana {Everything here is written in Catalan, a different type of Spanish, which appears to be a mix between French and Spanish}. It was a nice walk and the weather was beautiful. On my way I stopped to read in a park for a little while. I ended up staying an hour and finishing my book, leaving me with only one book for the next two weeks. This might not be too bad under normal circumstances, but I have no computer and our electrical outlets all died so we cannot watch tv. Therefore I read and talk to my roomates, but the latter becomes boring after a while.
Anyway, I finished the book then my way to Plac Espana. It is big and there are lots of cars going in a circle, and there was a large function going on in one of the large buildings, but I ahve no clue what it was because the sign only said "Alimentacion '08." After that I walked to school and went to class. Last night the girls in my apartment asked if I wanted to go out, but I got a headache and decided just to do my homework and go to bed so that I could get up and do something this morning. They came home around 4 making a lot of noise, but I eventually got back to sleep. However, I did get up this morning at 10. I walked to the Estadi Olimpico and some other fine buildings. I also walked through two different gardens that were a great opportunity to photograph trees. It was a very nice morning. THen I came to the school, where I started this blog, but was interrupted by Ashley...so we decided to go get some lunch. I had a sandwich with egg and cheese. YUM. We plan to go out on Friday for some tapas because that is her last night here.
Until laters.

Buenos dias. Haven't dropped in with a comment in a bit - was off skiing in Colorado where the mountains are high and the snow is deep. It's hard to believe your weeks are almost up, but the end of this part of your journey is in site. Sounds like you're still enjoying yourself.
