Hotel Foxa Valladolid

I love looking at my November schedule. Every page of my planner is blank. The next round of tests is primarily during our final exams. This month is essentially just to hang out and oh I don't know...learn I suppose :P. Basically, that translates to a lot of free time. <br><br>We've been filling this free time with an assortment of fairly random activities, including touring Valldolid's most random and obscure ...

... I was doing to which I responded "No puedo hablar espanol" ("I can't speak Spanish"). Apparently my brain only functions in one language while coming out of anesthesia. My professors were fairly amused at the message I left on mom's voicemail...which went something along the lines of "Hi mom, I had appendicitis, so then I had an operation, and now I'm all better.....yadda yadda". They told me that they would be freaking out if they ever got a message like ...

... climate. They said that Wisconsin is pretty rainy and cold right now...and they were a big fan of the temperatures in the 60s that we've had this week.<br><br>Last night, we went to our first soccer game. It was a match between Real Valladolid and Mallorca. It was 30 euros but we had awesome seats, and it was tons of fun. I always thought soccer games would be too dull to hold my attention, but I think you have to go see it live to ...

... was appalled that someone could just yell that out without thinking that maybe what they were saying was both offensive and vulgar. Another instance I remember quite well was in the Madrid airport, where I watched an American getting off of a flight yelling at the flight attendant, &#8220;why don&#8217;t you try talking to me again when you learn how to speak decent English?!&#8221;. Again, this was in an airport IN Spain.<br><br>It&#8217;s possible that ...

... I took my stuff back to the desk to fill out the form. I became even more embarrassed when I realised that I don't exactly remember my address here, and I definitely didn't know the area code. By the time I actually had the card, I'm positive that they thought I was mentally challenged or something. This fact was highlighted when I was told that bags and purses aren't allowed in the library (theft prevention), so I had to take my bag down to a locker ...

But I know when I'll be back again :P<br><br>Got through my presentation today just fine. We did ours on the 80's in the US and I somehow lucked out big time and got to do the sections on fashion trends, hair, and popular items. Needless to say, talking about mullets, shoulder pads, rubix cubes and pacman wasn't too difficult to pull off.<br><br>Grammar test went well too. The composition at ...

... I don't know), it's going to be broken up by our 4 day trip to south Spain (Friday-Monday in Sevilla and Grenada). A lot of work, soooo little time. I can't wait until our week long break. Things are starting to pile up some.<br><br>This post is mainly to post pictures tagged on Facebook. So have at em' :)<br>

Woke up around noon yesterday. It felt amazingggg to sleep in. We pretty much spent a good 3 hours in bed, just veggin out for a while. Felt very good to have some time to relax and not walk all over the place. It's nice being able to do that without having loads of homework in the back of your mind. <br><br>After a while, the festivities started picking up again. We walked down to la Plaza Mayor to see what was going on. There were disco balls ...

... ISE) phone rang. It was Matt, using the phone of a Spaniard, telling me that the family wasn´t there. ARRRRGGGGHHH. It´s tough when I can´t just go and fix it. I gave him the number of his family...this part was cute because he had to ask for a pen in Spanish, at least I smiled at that. Finally, Brandi called to tell me that they were both fine, WHEW! OK. STUDENT SIGHTING!!!! This morning I was drying my hair with the balcony open (we are on the ...

... show you anything. Spain is a lot of fun, though. If you´ve read any Hemingway novels about Spain, it´s exactly what he describes: simple. The people are very nice, the architecture is wonderful, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. We started school today and that wasn´t so bad yet. I´m in the easiest classes but that´s cool because I need to learn it all again, the placement exam was rather hard. The people in my group are cool, half ...
