I was going to write this blog at the end of today after my first week of classes but I got my computer working and who knows if it will be this good later. So school has been really stressful. Its only week 2 and I am about ready to quit this thing, but I know I cant because I would lose my scholarship which is from Benjamin A. Gilman. I had to get some last minute things in for it so I am putting a plug in. =)
So school, yeah, I have my two nursing classes which is what I expected to be, a lot of work, but it is really interesting. It is the first time they have tried poly-com so there are still the bugs to work out. First test Monday in pathophysiology/pharmacology eek!. My literature class I think will be really good. We are reading 3 novels that are based on Barcelona about its history and locations, The Time of the Doves, The Shadow of the Wind, and Southern Seas. I also have a surrealism/art class, I don't think there is any place better to study Picasso, Dali, and Miro other than in Barcelona. That class I think will be a challenging class for me because I like art but I really don't like to try to understand it.
There was a Barcelona and Real Madrid Soccer game on Wednesday night and even though there was a pile of homework waiting for me it was something I had to watch! So some of the girls in my group from school we had dinner and then we went to a bar to watch the game. It was interesting but really fun to be with the crowd cheering for Barcelona. It was crazy though there were people trying to watch through bars windows to watch the game. The game of course was on paper-view so you had to pay to watch it at home or buy a drink at the bar to watch it there. I stayed until half time because the metro stops running at 12 and me and my roommate did not want to get stuck walking home. I won't say who won but Barcelona will be crazy because in a few weeks they are going to replay each other.
