News and Travel Plans
07.05.07 (11:59 am) [edit]Hello again friends!
Well, not too much has happened since I last blogged.
I decided to stay in the classes in which I was placed. On the first day we started with the present tense which I've learned only a bazillion times so that's why I wanted to move up; however, yesterday we did the present perfect tense and I only learned that last semester, so I think I will be perfectly fine in that class.
I did have some cookie flavored ice cream. That was amazing. Two of my favorite sweets in one. :-D Only thing missing were some brownie crumbles on top. haha.
Oh, I can't seem to get the pics to upload from the school computers; I will try Dominque's computer again later. I tried her's last night and it was SO slow! It was going at about one picture in five minutes-- only slightly exagerating, seriously-- when the battery went down. So, yeah... but I'll try to get what I have off tonight because I'll be leavinig for Pampalona tomorrow afternoon!!!! That's where the running of the bulls takes place and yours truly gets to witness this... iconic cultural festival!
And myself and a few others are still trying to get our free weekend plans together. I was thinking I'd just stay in Salamanca, but when am I going to be in Spain again? We were thinking Barcelona, but the plans just aren't working for that, so now we're thinking either San Something or Lisbon, Portugal. The San Whatever is supposedly the most beautiful city beach in Europe, but it's on the northern Atlantic coast. I really wanted to stick my toe in the Mediterranian while I was over here, but that doesn't look like it will happen. Oh well; I haven't been to any beach in years, so that will be wonderful anyway. Besides that, the beach is free. :-D Then Lisbon... we're not sure what's there except that it's the capital of Portugal and cheap. We were looking at Hostels and we found one in the Plaza Mayor that looked pretty fancy for 18€!! That's about $25! I can do that!
Anyway, I've got a bit of homework tonight to do and I've got to get those pictures done. Keep me in your prayers! Thanks!

Hello. Good to hear. You sound busy. Don't worry too much about blogging if you're too busy--we'll understand. I hope you get to go somewhere really special on that free weekend. We miss you lots. We're getting emails from the preacher's son about Canada, to all the parents. He said in yesterday's email that some of the girls saw a bear. I don't know if that was Bridget or not. He said they were excited and got some pictures, but were scared too. But they were OK. He said alot more kids were coming to VBS and enjoying it. Well, I don't know much. You are in our prayers and we love you lots. Mom
