first day of classes [barcelona, spain]

Hey everyone, it's 12:45am and I still have Spanish homework, so I'll fill in the rest of my trip tomorrow. For now I just don't want to get behind because it's harder to remember the longer I wait.

This morning I got up to go to the computer lab and finish my homework due at 12:15 in true Jessica fashion. However, I forgot to account for the 30-minute travel time to get to the center of the city and ended up not doing it. Luckily my teacher could not care less and told me to bring it tomorrow. Ha, still haven't done it but I'm getting to it.

After class I had a break and got lunch with my roommate Katherine and then tried to do some shopping (I wanted to buy boots but decided I didn't need them - yay for me!) Then I went to my International Events in Barcelona: An Artistic Approach class, which is about events like the World Fair and Olympics and how they relate to the growth and change of the city as its related to art. It's an interesting class for me, though I can see how other people would get bored. My teacher is this adorable Sicilian woman, who I somehow feel love for by some distant bond of the "homeland." She's actually the first "real" Italian person I've ever really met. I love her accent, it's adorable.

After that I kind of had this film viewing thing for my film class, but I wasn't sure if we had to go... so I didn't. But another girl I know didn't either so I think it's okay. It didn't really specify where it was and everything. I have the first day of the class itself tomorrow so we'll see if I'm screwed or not. Instead I went with my friends Jen and Kate and got our "readers" ordered, so at least I did something productive. Of course, Jen and I did a little shopping after, but we were good. Relatively.

When I got home we went to dinner for my roommate Katherine's birthday and had a serious gourmet, 3-course meal at a restaurant next door - white tablecloths and all - for only about 20 Euro each, including wine and coffee. Good find for sure. The food was very good and they had this dessert that was absolutely unbelievable. All of my visitors will be experiencing it.

Alright, seriously, homework time. I'll get the rest of my weekend up tomorrow and hopefully also get my photos on my Flickr account. Adios!
