Following up the exam

So today was my first exam in my intensive Spanish course. It was difficult, but I did fairly well. We graded most of it and I have an 86% thus far so that is good! Anyways, I also had my first turkey sandwich since I've been here. The meats here are very different, but today I had some Pavo and it was great. With all that said, its officially Thursday night, a big night for los jovenes de Espana, meaning a bunch of people are going out drinking. Then there are two big parites at two different clubs, and tonight I am going to head to Sutton, one of Barcelona's most highly noted. There will be less Americans here so that should be fun and different finally!! Overall, I have been here for nearly two weeks and time is beginning to pick up, but this city is very very cool and I look forward to expanding my horizons even more and begin traveling Europe. Some "Welcome Week" night life pictures will be thrown up sometime over the weekend, so stay tuned and take care all!

exam time

So last night was another exciting night at the club, on the beach. Anyways, tomorrow I have a tour at 1130 AM, and an exam at 2PM. The exam is going to be really hard actually so I am taking tonight off and studying with some people in the dorms. That is all I got for now, take care all.

Welcome week and more

So last night was the official kickoff of "Welcome Week" so we went to club Lotus and there were more Americans than I've ever seen in my life. It ended up being a great time. Furthermore, today at class, I was there at 2:10 (class starts at 2). The reason I was late was because I got to the metro and my pass was empty, and my credit cards did not work in the machines to buy a new one, so I had to then walk to class, and god knows how I even found it. Then, midway through, the teacher came up to me and told me she gave me an absence. No need to worry b/c we are allowed 2, but it bothered me and explaining my gringo self did nothing. Anyways, tonight is another party so a big crew is heading there. But then tomorrow and Thursday I have quite big days including meetings, an exam, joining the gym and buying some things, so I wont be going out every night this week, dont worry!! Anyways, hope all is well back home with everyone and I will be talking with you sometime soon.

Last nights journey..

So Josh and I decided to have a sleepover last night after we went out for our first Sangria, which is amazinggg!!! Cannot wait to come drink it back home this summer with you, mom. So 4 pitchers later, we were like okay, we will sleep at Josh's. We get on the metro to go to my house to gather my necessitites and realize the Metro closes at 12, it was 11:47. So, me and Josh got off, sprinted to my place, and sprinted back and made it by 11:59. I do not know if it was worth it, but it was crazy and my first cardio since ive been here, so be proud dad. Overall, it was hilarious and we had a great time at his house simply hanging out. Tonight is officially welcome week and might be pretty wild considering each night there is a free huge party at a different location. Also today, during the day, I went to La Boqueria Market on la Rambla and it was amazing! Biggest open market ever with tonsss of fresh fruit and what not. Very cool. So yes, this week is going to be very busy, I plan on doing a bit of shopping, of course my hw, and having some fun nights. I hopefully will be loading some pictures to my facebook from my first day here, and now will be bringing my camera with me, so stay current with that stuff! Adioss

Sleeping at Josh's

....So I am at Josh's right now for the night (for those of you have been to Europe and know how everything is so damn small, Josh somehow has a full size bed, so sleeping is going to be great) which I will explain why in my blog tomorrow, but we are about to pass out. Just want to announce that I put on some great music, and all of the sudden I thought to myself, "Wow, I am actually living here in Barcelona, this shiiiiiiiit is amazing!"... but yes, be excited, a funny story is coming tomorrow. Get ready to totally LOL (yeah Caleb).
