Ok Ok! I will update!

Well today is the last day off school (boo).

Actually we were supposed to have school today, but there was something like 3 inches of snow and Spaniards had a collective panic attack. Although to be fair-considering none of them know how to drive in the snow-I was freaked out too! But the panic is not the real reason that this snow fall is worth mentioning. The real reason is that this is the 2nd snow day since 2002 and the other one was earlier this school year! It is following me! AGH!!!

...Sorry about that...

So I kind of hate life right now. My philosophy professor has decided that because I do not take all of the test (there are some parts which are just too hard), she should assign me extra work. Thus, I have to read this book over the break (San Miguel Bueno, Mártir) that is about a man who is a literal saint, but has the deep dark secret that he does no actually believe in God, Satan, nor any type of an afterlife. He sole reason for keeping up the façade is that is gives the people hope. Anyway, I have to write a summary of the book as well as my opinion on the questions is raises... then present both to the class to open a class debate. While this is normally something I would not really mind because I like presentations, doing one in Spanish scares the piss out of me! Literally! Every time I think about it I have to pee!

On a totally unrelated note: learning languages is evil. While I was writing this post alone I had to sit for several minutes to remember "assign," "evil," and "break." But my Spanish is not that great either, at least by native standards. So I have basically traded one language for two half languages and am only half fluent in both. Yarg. MY VOCABULARY! And to top it all off, my arm keeps twitching!

OH! I went to a cool parade! There were explosions, flying people, and candy. T´was quite grand! I would treat you all to a grand explanation, but my description would be lacking and I would not do the parade justice. But I WILL tell you that it was for Reyes who came at the end of the parade much like Santa Claus would. The other interesting thing was the "American" section of the parade. It was a river boat, on top of which danced a woman who appeared to be a conservative Muslim stripper (I know that makes no sense. Her costume did not either), a steam engine, and a procession of "Native Americans" which we just Spaniards with big fake noses and a lot of feathers. To be honest, it was a little disturbing.

Alas, my battery dies as I type. Thus, I must cease with my ramblings. Hasta luego. Os echo de menos.
