i know i know i know, i'm slacking!

i am in love with this school! i have never laughed so hard in class. i just got back from marketing plan and i think the teacher is already my favorite teacher ever in college. he's so sweet and hilarious. i got a group and we have to put together our own marketing plan. every group presents one day. he said he understands if we don't come, but on the days we present we have to of course. then he said by the end of the course, all the students are like, "we know how to make a marketing plan! i am going to the beach!" and then they don't come anymore. so he said in may or end of april if we want to go to the beach instead, we can go.
HA! this is why i love this place ;D

so remember how i said i'm going to munich for spring break? turns out i'm not. i'm going the week AFTER spring break!!!!!!!!!! the stupid adviser told me the wrong dates!!! but i know for marketing plan i won't be presenting, i have to check with entrepreneurship, and consumer behavior i won't have to come. i don't know about international marketing :( i'm so so so so upset. i can try switching but it'll be about $100 or more. and that's already how much i paid for the ticket. so i'm going. oops.

i just found out my camera broke also, so now i have to get a new one :( :( :( it turns on and takes pictures but the screen doesn't work! i know it takes pictures because i uploaded them to my computer. i hated that camera anyway. but i'd rather not spend euros on a new one!

we were talking about entrepreneurship ideas in class today and we had to form groups to come up with some businesses and present them. we started talking about 24 stores and how there are none here except for pharmacies and it's weird because they stay up until all hours of the night here! but then the teacher said it's illegal to have a store open 24 hours, que loca!
so then we thought maybe we can do a store that's open 23 hours and 45 minutes, hehe.

so i've got some pretty cool trips lined up! i think i'm satisfied now :) i've got granada which is supposed to be an "amazing city" in spain that everyone says i "have to go." i've got PARIS!!!!!! in march right before spring break. i've got mallorca for spring break, the best beaches in spain! i've got munich right after with a really good friend. and finally, PRAGUE! i'll go when school's out in june, i can't freaking wait. i'll stay with marta too so it'll be awesome! she left on friday and it was really bad. i hope we stay in touch forever. i told her to come to florida. and she said we'll go to costa rica too because she has family there. she was born there! so i mean come on, i have to get a new camera, stat!

also, this weekend is one of the biggest festivals in spain, they just call it carnaval. but it's in sitges, south of here. sitges is known for being a gay town so the parade and festival is all about it, haha, it's going to be insaaaane. i'm going with a bunch of kids from school and everyone dresses up in crazy colors and costumes so it's sure to be a good time!

so remember all the visa drama i was panicking about? turns out i'm lucky i'm even here right now. i was talking with some people about it and they said i normally wouldn't have been allowed back into spain, because i was already here for 3 months and after 3 months you have to leave as a tourist. they said europe's pretty lax (as we all know by now) about it and it really just depends on what counter i go up to and who is working and what time it is. but because i went back to america and came back in they would have seen i was already here for so long. normally you have to leave for 3 months and then you can come back! huh, crazy....
