intensly-intense

what is there to talk about? well what isn't there to talk about?
Semana Santa was absolutely amazing. if you want to know anything about the trip, just look at the facebook pictures, i think that will tell a better story than me boring you with the details of every waking moment. Lets just say we didn't waste daylight. we were up at 6 or 7 am most of the days and in bed by 2 or 3 am. i think this week i have been sleeping so much to recover from that.
All four of us are now pretty much best friends, because on the last night we had to share a hotel room with two beds for all 5 of us! but we made it work dont worry.

Shortly after coming back here in spain there have been some interesting bouts of weather. supposedly all week while we were soaking up rays, it was raining here. Which is really odd because barcelona has gotten more rain this year than the last 5 years. And today while we were waiting in line at the police station to get our visas renewed it hailed! thats right it hailed. then it immediatley turned sunny again. Not 2 hours later it was thundering and lightening in the sky with only partial clouds. so either the spring and winter are fighting or somewhere in the world there is going to be a typhoon. so watch out.

speaking of the police station. i went today for the second time to get my spanish ID and my visa renewed. me phillip and rosario were there at 8:00 am, meaning i had to get up at 6:45, and we waited until 2 pm. now i get to the counter, and the lady is almost done entering in all my info into the computer and she starts telling me something in catalan. so im just staring at her. then she calls this guy over to speak spanish to me ( because why on earth would a person living in barcelona SPAIN not speak spanish) he tells me i dont need an ID. because im only going to be in spain for a total of 4 months. and the IDs are for people who are going to be here for 6 or more months. so FORGET you all those people who told me i needed to get an ID- consualt-teacher at La Salle-shengen visa place- and director of the residence- YOU ALL OWE ME 3 HOURS OF SLEEP and OVER 14 HOURS OF MY LIFE BACK. ( because i had to do other stuff besides going to the police station)

now for a more exciting moment. i was in Zara spending money that i shouldnt be spending, and a guy cuts in line in front of me. im just staring at him like what the hell. he is really tall, and very well dressed. he also had a man bag. i just keep staring at him like move, and he moves out of the way but he happens to bump into me. i had my jacket on my arm and i had completley forgotten that i had my wallett in my coat pocket. well i guess my keychain or something was sticking out because he grabbed it. and i think he miscalculated the sheer size of it because i had a whole package of klenex in it and the wallett caught on my jacket and he dropped it. he tried to cover it up by dropping some clothes he was holding on top of it but i like instantly went lunatic. i have never been so mad in my life. little 110 lb me GRABBED this huge guys arm and pushed him out of the way, while giving him the look of death, i moved the clothes and grabbed my keys and stared at him like at any moment i could kill him. i was so angry i couldnt say anything but he managed to mumble out in broken english umm sorry i bumped into you, and ran out the door. i didnt even realize what had really happened until about 3 minutes later when my heart rate returned to normal. so moral of the story is, keychains suck and always overstuff your wallett with klenexes.

sorry no pictures but im going to go to the grocery store now and workout for like 20 mins before dinner.
if your bored shoot me an email i like hearing from people and making sure everyone is still alive and having fun.

rain rain rain

Well i think it has been a little too long since i last wrote anything. My problem with annoying "person" is getting a little better, i think that our personalities just clash. I have pretty much decided to ignore anything this person says unless it is generally relevant. It has been raining for 3 days straight, not including the cloudy day before it started raining. The weather is SUCKY. Well the only good to come out of the rain is shopping. I havent been able to lay on the terrace so my roommate and I have been venturing to Placa Catalunya every day to "shop" i think there was only one day i actually did some damage. The other two days i just browsed.

School oh yea school...thats why im here right? well im sorry to all those business majors out there but that major is probably the eaisest thing i have ever done. Maybe not all schools are easy but in europe if you know for a fact you want to study business then you dont have to take any pre-recs you just jump right into business classes. Because the classes are so long we dont really have any homework at all, so when i get out of class i am a free woman. Im pretty sure that going back to Biochem is going to be a really rude awakening. I have a few friends here that are engineers and architects and they all study about 24/7 so im pretty sure its just business. In fact right now i have ABSOLOUTLEY nothing to do, my friends are all napping becuase they just got out of class, and i am here in my room getting ready to go out (cause its magical thursday). though i have crazy lady tomorrow im not going to be out too late maybe just until 5 am....just kidding. thats everyone else but me.

So here at the residence there are probably 400 or more people that live here (prob more i just guessed) and only about 60 of them are girls. and everyday i seem to eat lunch or run into someone who i have never seen before, but because i am a girl they know "about" me. today in the elevator someone spoke to me and knew my name and i had never seen them before. it was very interesting. as well as at lunch I sat with three people i had never seen, it was a strange day. NOT to mention that i went to go get my spanish ID and i ended up not getting it. BEcause the man who handed out the numbers for line, didnt tell me there was a different building for temporary people, not future residents. it was sooo annoying, i waited for nothing. then on the way into the subway i slipped on the wet stairs and fell down a whole flight on my butt. it sucked.

But the day began to cheer up because tomorrow i am leaving for the beach! even though it will possibly be raining, i will be at the beach and not here at the residence being bored. tonight we are having a little before easter going away dinner with some girls from the residence THEN i am on a train headed south trying to run away from the rain. maybe next time i write i will be rediculiously tan and put brittly to shame. ( sry brittly but im going to be tanner than you at least once in my life)
