tranquilo

So this weekend was a bit more tranquilo. This was due to the fact that I had midterms this week and needed to study. I´m not sure I like the system where you don´t have any tests or homework to speak of until bam! a mid term test and then bam! a final exam, and thats your whole grade for the class! I think they all went okay, but I shall have to wait to get them back in order to know. Not too great, but not bad, either. regular. Finished. ;)
I did go out one night to hang out with a friend from Goshen who is studying in Madrid. He and 3 people from his program came to check out Barcelona, so we met up one night and had a pleasant evening. I also went to the beach outside of Barcelona on Saturday to watch part of an ultimate hat-tourney. Unfortunately I didn´t know about it until too late to sign up. Too bad. But I guess better for my studying... It was a lovely day, bright and sunny and it was nice to be outside for the day. And fun to hang out with other people on my team who went to watch. But it would have been more fun to play. ;) This weekend I´m planning to go to a one-day beach tourney in France. Its a 4X4 tournament and I think 10 people from my team are going, so we should have 2 teams. We´re planning to go on Saturday morning, spend the day(afternoon/evening) in Marselle, sleep in a hotel, play on Sunday and then drive back. I´m excited.
I have realized that my time in Spain is going by quite quickly! I´ve already been here for 2 months, and have a bit less than 2 before I fly home. And only about 5 (6?) weeks left of school. This is both happy and sad. Happy because I haven´t been home or seen the majority of my family in a year. Thats a long time. I´m excited to see them again, and be in New Mexico. It will also be nice to get back to Goshen--I like small universities, Ive decided, and I miss my friends. Sad, because I´m having a lovely time and I´m doing something that will never happen again--spending a semester studying in Europe. I think I am taking advantage of it. On that note, I think I will walk home today and enjoy the unique architecture Barcelona has to offer. =)
