Almost the weekend

So its pretty sweet that the weekends start on Thursdays for me over here. No school on Friday is something I could really get used to. The school days are definitely long. Right now I have a 3 hour break between classes. Mondays and Wednesdays I have 3 classes, with about an hour and a half break and a two hour break in between them. I wake up a little after 7 and don't get home until around 4 or later. This Tuesday I had Basque Folkdance (which was actually a pretty sweet class, and I get PE credit for it), which meant I was gone from 7:30 in the morning until about 9 at night.It is pretty draining mentally and physically having to either walk or take public transportation everywhere and struggle with the language to get through the day. I love both of these things, but they do take their toll and after 4 days in a row of it I'm ready to take a break, especially from the whole waking up at 7:30 part.

One observation that I have had since I have been here: there are plenty of attractive girls, which is cool, but almost every one is with some goofy looking guy with a nasty mullet or something. The girls here do not look like what I would typically picture a Spaniard to look like, mainly because they aren't Spaniards in a way. They are Basque, which I have come to learn and realize is nearly a country in and of itself, and, in fact, the Basque Country is trying to split off and form its own country apart from Spain. Girls here have pretty fair skin, dark hair, and love their bangs. Its really funny to walk by and see a beautiful girl all cuddly with some funky looking guy with a hideous mullet or rat-tail. Also, the people here have no qualms about kissing in public. Everywhere you look there are couples kissing.

Thats it for now, have a good weekend everyone.
