More classes...and a video!


     So I ended up putting my video on YouTube, because it wasn't uploading to my blog! You can only see it if you watch it here, with the link. If you search for it it on YouTube, it won't come up. When you watch it make sure you have the sound on!

    Today I had more class, archaeology and history. Archaeology isn't going so well, so I am going to talk to an adviser to see what class I can switch to....when I signed up I didn't realize it had an expensive trip, 200 euros! And the two books are expensive too. The topic is really interesting...but it seems like a hard class. Let's face it, I want to take easy core classes! History was good, we talked more about the Renaissance and art. If he relates everything we talk about to art history, that would be awesome! There is so much you can learn from art.
     Tonight for dinner we had paella with pork, and bread. I love paella!

Things I have learned in Spain:
  • I can't watch Downton Abbey! I was hoping since I was in Europe I would be able to watch it somewhere, but I haven't found it! And with no Hulu or Netflix.....
  • Spain must not make many movies? I've seen one poster with a movie starring Penelope Cruz on it, but all the rest I have seen are American movies like Lincoln, Wreck it Ralph (Rompe Ralph), Django Unchained (Django Desencadenado), and Les Miserables. 
  • H&M clothes are the same amount as in the U.S., just in euros...so its more expensive here
  • I have a cold, and my Senora asked if I had allergies, but neither I nor Claire could remember the word for cold, and didn't want to say "I'm ill" (estoy enferma) because then she might have freaked out. So I just said no, then we figured out it is "Tengo un resfriado", I have a cold. 
  • The restaurant we were in yesterday was playing old VH1 or MTV shows and was playing everything from Beyonce "Crazy in Love", Michael Jackson "Man in the Mirror", Prince, and Rihanna....and there was Spanish man in the table next to us that was singing to Michael Jackson. 

¡Adios!
