Hey everyone, sorry its been a while since I posted last. There hasn't been anything extremely exciting since I returned from Barcelona. Last weekend I went out on my own walking around Getxo Friday and Saturday (see above picture). It was pretty cool just getting some time to myself, listening to some good music, reading my Bible, etc. Yesterday was a good day. Got an A on my first spanish test, felt good about my marketing midterm. I went for a run down by the water, ran some errands and then we cooked a pretty good meal. I'm here at school early today because there is going to be a protest today and they recommended that we take the earlier bus. I don't know exactly what the protest is about, some complicated political issue that I only know a little about. But I guess there will be people at all the bus stops "discouraging" people from not getting on the buses, and people at the entrances to school with banners and stuff. My teacher said she was coming early and going to come in the back entrance. Thats comforting. And I just heard this morning from another USAC student that these things have been pretty crazy in the past. He talked with a Spanish girl who told him not to bother coming today because the buses usually stop running part way through the day and most local students come to school. But here we are. Hopefully if a trash can gets lit on fire I won't be in it. I just read that the Lakers finished up 7-2 on the roadtrip, looks like the making of an NBA champion. Well, I've got to run to class, talk to you all soon.
