all in a day's work

This past Saturday was quite an eventful day.

7.00h - I woke up early to study.

10.15h - I ate breakfast.

11.10h - I met Claire at the corner to walk to El Palacio (the center where we have our study abroad classes).

12.00h - Final exam. GRAMMAR!!!

12.02h - I realized the exam was like a book, containing many pages.

12.04h - I started thinking the test wasn't too bad, actually.

13.30h - Done.

14.00h - Walking back home, we passed a homeless woman who had made herself a fenced-in bed out of cardboard boxes, that she used to sleep in and house all of her belongings. I would have taken a picture to send to the participants of Bradley's annual Shack-a-thon, as inspiration, but I felt it was inappropriate. This made me want to build a house, and reminded me of the time I explained Habitat for Humanity to my host family, thinking that they would know about it because it's an international organization. They didn't. I want to bring it to Spain (or make it more popular).  

14.35h - I arrived back at home. There was a note on my bed from my madre explaining that they were going to be gone for the weekend and that they left me food to heat up for lunch. I understood every verb tense used in the message, because I had just learned two of them a few days prior. Excitement! Application of knowledge!

14.45h - Lunch. It wasn't very good. Better luck next time.

18.00h - Bull fight with Claire. Claire and I attended a bull fight, that is.

21.00h - Skype with the fam back home. My host sister and her boyfriend got to "meet" my mom, sister, and youngest brother. Apparently my sister looks just like me, but younger...? Okay. haha

21.35h - My host sister made me dinner. She then left to go have dinner at her boyfriend's house. She literally came home just to make me dinner and leave...I am capable of making my own meals! I'm confident they will understand this within a few weeks.

1.00h (Sat.) - Claire, my host sister, her boyfriend, and I went to a discoteca, named Babilonia. It's one of the most popular/ famous in Sevilla. My sister's boyfriend knows someone who works there, so we had an "in." We got in and got a free drink. I felt like I was in a movie. The club is outdoors, with cool lanterns/lights in the trees (meaning it will close in a few weeks...I think). The DJ was well-known and she father is a famous artist of some sort.  Overall, awesome experience.

5.00h - Bed.
