dia normal dos [barcelona, spain]

Spanish class was extremely hard, as it appears it will be for the entire semester. I went to my first spin class ever in between my classes. It was definitely the toughest workout I´ve ever had - lots of sweat ensued. I headed back to IES for my art history class.

It was a pretty good lecture - all stuff I´m really interested in, but the people in that class are so painfully stupid. She put up one new slide about every 10 minutes, with maybe 3-4 brief bullet points and these two girls were like "my hand really hurts from writing so much, can you post these online?" To which she obviously replied "if I post them online you won´t come to class". Honestly, I had maybe 2 pages of notes from an hour and a half lecture. At Penn State a 50-minute lecture will get you like 10 pages, and trust me, they aren´t hard classes. Seriously - have you been to college? It´s called "taking notes"... just ... ahhh.

After that I got my books with Jen (no copyright laws = 40 Euro for 4 "readers" - One good point about Spain). Then I went home, threw together a random dinner, and spent about 6 hours on the computer updating my pictures, looking up travel destinations, and doing a little bit of homework. I never feel like I get anything done though. I need a couple weeks to get it together here. So much for traveling every weekend!
