just la la la

i´m just sitting in the library passing the time because i have an appointment in an hour to go look at an apartment and there is no use going home first.


i just got out of my class a little while ago and it´s still so frustrating because the teacher talks way way way too fast. and she flies through the slides so i don´t know why i bother going! but the stuff is really interesting so i actually want to be there. it just sucks when i want to participate but don´t because i don´t know how to say it.

i´ve been so sleepy and i think the weather might have something to do with it. it keeps changing. yesterday was super warm and today it´s pretty cold. and this getting dark early thing doesn´t help!

i have no plans for the weekend but i don´t care because something will come up. it´s not hard to find something to do around here, as i´m sure i´ve made obvious =)

i´ve been talking to the foreigners and they´re all depressed because they are leaving in less than two months and it just makes me smile because i am so so lucky to be here for a year! i will forever be grateful.

i´m looking outside at the mountain right now and i see houses! i haven´t seen any houses here, so weird. and there´s a stream of lights going down the hill and it´s really pretty. i was talking to someone who´s from here and i told him to tell me some places i have to visit outside of barcelona and one of the places was Costa Brava, and he said i just have to go to see the houses because they are so beautiful. not to mention it´s a huge beautiful beach. i´ve heard a little about it so maybe i´ll get there one day.

i was also talking to this girl who went to Madrid recently and i told her i was super jealous because i have heard so many different things about it and i want to see for myself how it really is. she said it was cool but not really that different, and she prefers Barcelona by far. hmmmm. i think i still need to see for myself. i´ve heard it´s more ¨"cultural" and a little quieter than here. i want to see what "more cultural" is like! i mean i know there are a lot of tourists here but it´s not all tourists. there are plenty of places to go where the locals hang out or eat or whatever.

i was wondering about my school and how the rest of it looks but now that i´m sitting up high looking out the window i don´t think there is much more to it. i remember when i first came and asked my advisor how i would find the classrooms and she said they were all in this one building. i thought, wow that´s nice, they must make it like that for all the foreigners, haha. but really i don´t think there´s more than 3 buildings! there´s no "campus." no subway or oriental fast food on the grounds. just one little cafeteria. i haven´t seen any sporting fields or courtyards or any place to just hang out. the only place i´ve been is on top of the building where they have a fountain and benches and stuff. but maybe i´m just not seeing the whole thing.
