Well everybody it's Wednesday (Hump Day), and that sucks. Luckily it's Wednesday night and almost Thursday, but unfortunately Thursday-for me-is the worst day of the week. Here's a glance at why:
Monday: School until 2:10, futbol americano 6:30-8:30
Tuesday: School until 2:10
Wednesday: School until 3, futbol americano 6:30-8:30
Thursday: School until 3
Friday: School until 1
So as you can see Thursday is a definite weak point in this schedule. It ties for "getting out of school latest" with Wednesday, but lacks the redeeming "futbol americano." In fact it has almost no redeeming qualities except that first hour is English. But even that isn't much because it just means that I'm expected to occasionally answer a question.
*RANDOM TOPIC SHIFT*
So I don't really think Spaniards understand how difficult it is to be a foreign exchange student to Spain if you are American, especially the ones who have gone/are in EEUU. For one most of them have studied English for something like seven years whereas I only had two (I technically have only been studying for two years even though I took Spanish 1-4). Also they have English injected into them daily through movies, TV, and music whereas Spanish is much harder to find in EEUU. So the people who have lived in the US for a year (they are surprisingly plentiful) think "Oh! I know what these exchange students to Spain are going trough because I went to America!" when in reality it's profoundly different.
*RANDOM TOPIC SHIFT #2*
Spaniards have discovered the secret to eternal youth/looking older when you are young. They literally do not age at all from the age of 15 to the age of 35. It's amazing. By the time they are 15 they look about like they are in their early-20's, when they are about 35 they look to be in their late-20's. For example: there is a girl in my class who looks for all the world like she should be in college... she's 16. I didn't believe her when she first told me that so she got other people to confirm it... I looked like a douche.
But that's all it from Spain for today. Sorry for the pointless ramblings but I am quite cansado. Buenas noches.
