One trimester down, lots of easter chocolate to eat.

After Roma I crashed and watched millions of episodes of CSI and The Office… don’t judge! I walked a lot and didn’t shower in Rome…I needed to recuperate. I also did a lot of studying for exams the up-coming week. On Wednesday I got a HUGE package that I was NOT allowed to open ‘till Easter. Yes, Mom, I waited patiently. I also enjoyed a thoroughly clean room. Before I left for Roma I even washed my sheets! That marks the second time I’ve done laundry in Barcelona…the 1st of April (right now it’s the 30th, so we’ll see how long I can last this time).


On Sunday I got to open my package!!!!! I celebrated by making toast AND a pot of coffee and watched an episode of the office. Then I opened my glorious package and commenced drooling over the chocolate and new underwear. I bet you didn’t know it
Mom, but you’re an enabler—with these five new pairs of underwear I can wash my clothes even less!!!! Laurel (my favorite person) came home from her spring break trip and we had an Easter fest. I made dinner—chicken burgers, pasta, and bread—and then we colored eggs! It was pretty much awesome and we got very creative despite only having brown eggs to color. I remedied by adding less water to the color and selecting choice light brown eggs, haha.







Then I got back to studying till my two big exams on Tuesday and on Wednesday. Then BAM!! It was over. First trimester over….over? OMG. Laurel and I had a very romantic almost last weekend together and had slumber parties almost every night, which included fries from the patatas stand outside (obviously).
The next week my new classes started. Yikes. I never though I would think BC was really well organized. There is no info on the internet, as in where it meets. So I miss one of my first classes for art history, went to the next class on Friday and it was in Catalan. What the heck! I switched out of Art Theory for a Visual Representation class, which sounds weird but it is about the development, through certain movements ( like the renaissance) of visual representation. The other class is a cinema class, History of Cinema, and I love it…despite the silent films in Spanish. So, I’m on to my next trimester and was able to manage a good report from the last one despite perhaps the most stressful exam period I’ve ever had. Then, it was time for MALAGA!!!
