The Final Countdown (de, da, de, daaa, de, da, de, de, da...)

With the sun rising, the birds chirping, the coffee pot going, all the things of dawn running their courses, I, too, began my journey through May 4, 2009. I got off to a great start, getting shared, fed, and dressed in a record breaking 20 minutes. Then I was off to school on bus 89.

I got to class - this morning was Conversación and Cultura. Both were good and uneventful. During the break, Megan, Katye and I sat outside and enjoyed the gorgeous weather.

At lunch time, I went out and sat in the park across from the facultad and had a little picnic in the sweet sunshine. I took the time to study a little bit, as well. Afterwards, I went over to the ISA office and hung out until class time.

Three o'clock was History with Adela. My favorite class. We talked more about medieval Spanish and how cool it is. I want to study lingüistics (it has the two dots in Spanish, and now I can't remember if it does in English, too. Am I negating the declaration, now?) for the rest of my life.

After class, I caught the bus home. When I got here, I sat and chatted with Matilde for a while, then came up to start my afternoon of studying. It turned into an afternoon of Skyping as well - Mom, Mary Ev, Jacob, the whole crew. Plus I fb chatted (who knew?) with Kasey, Cristina, Austin from Kamp, and one of my kampers, Sabrina! It was so great. I also got the chance to spend some time with Marta, my host sister, when she needed help with an English paper she was writing. It was really sweet.

Because I have such a lovely next two days of exams, I should probably try and get some sleep. Wouldn't you say?

Si tuviese la gripe porcina, no tendría que irme de aquí.... Alguien páseme un cerdo, por favor!
