Playing catch up

I am writing this really late at night so hopefully it makes sense not that some or my earlier posts make sense. This will probably be a short post since I did not do much. I stayed up really late all week and tried to get all my homework and studying done but it is Sunday night/ Monday early morning and I still feel so behind! Well I have had all semester to get this art paper done and I still procrastinated until the end.  It was reduced to 8- 10 pages which I am so happy about I would be freaking out if it had to be 12-15 pages. It would not be too terrible if it wasn’t 1.5 spacing, I am just so used to writing double spaced.

Oh but Wednesday I had clinicals and it was probably the best day of my life! I was in the pediatric unit and oh my gosh babies! I had a different nurse and she spoke a little English but we spoke Spanish because she said it is a good language learning time and I was like definitely. We first saw a toddler and she was super cute she had a combined appointment with her older brother and they were taking an eye exam and they had to use their hands to demonstrate the way the E is facing and the little girl went first and her brother went and she was showing him the way the E was facing but he wasn’t looking at her, cutest thing ever! Then the baby parade started: we had a 17 day old baby, 4 months, 8 months and others but man so cute. With each of the babies they took measurements and it was interesting oh important the nurse made it seem that the baby should be near the 50 percentile. If I have not been obvious enough I think I want to do be in the pediatric unit and it is super cool that I am in this room, it will toughen me up to the crying. All the babies were good until they got the shot. But I still have at least 2 more years until I decide what I want to do.

Friday was another Conocer Barcelona. They stopped making them mandatory which means we want to go now. In the morning we went to Camp Nou! I have not been there yet, well only from the outside I may have gotten lost trying to find my church which was in the opposite direction. It was fun we had a guided tour from one of the professors from the school who teaches Sports and Society. We saw the trophies from not only their soccer team but their basketball, hockey, and racecar team.  Then we got to sit in the bleachers for a little bit. Then we got to go near the field and take pictures unfortunately the soccer team was at an away game. It was also my seƱoras birthday so my roommate and I bought her a Messi Mug because she is in love with him! She liked it and we wrote her a card in Spanish. It was good. Then in the afternoon we had a Conocer Barcelona at the Sagrada Familia. It was still marvelous even though I have been there before. It was a guided tour so I got to learn more things. Also we got to go up the towers probably the coolest thing ever. However you take the elevator up then you have to walk all the way down a winding staircase that is poorly lit! I went super slow down the stairs with my hands griping the walls since some of the way down did not have a railing! About half way down there was a couple and the guy told the women to look down and I was like it is probably a bad idea to look down. It was funny because I was talking to them in Spanish and I had no idea who they were.

On Saturday I was walking around and I was like why are my legs killing me! Well it was all those stairs! I also went to a baptism on Saturday and Sunday church. Not an amazing week but it was a good week.
