Emily in Spain: Last week of classes!

My classes here in Sevilla are officially OVER!

Oh wait..

Juan Carlos, the man who cancelled class Monday, decided to re-schedule class for Monday during Finals Week because he did not cover all of the information for the final yet. Final is Wednesday. Could that be because after midterms he started history at the beginning of mankind?!?!? Yup, maybe.

Anyways, all of my other classes are over at least. Thank goodness!

Meeting with Gabriela went well this week. We stayed inside both days and she was 100x more focused. I did not get paid for last week or this week because her dad was away on business, so Tuesday, my last day, I hope to rake in the cash.

Speaking of her, funny story: I told her next week I was going back home and she asked, to England? I said no, to America! Her eyes got all big and surprised and then she pointed to the huge map on the wall and started saying, "With elephants? And lions?" and I realize she is pointing to Africa!!

I was like no no, not Africa, America! But the -ica must have tripped her up because the rest of the day she kept asking if I missed my parents, and that I am here all alone and they are in Africa, and if they speak English in Africa, and all this. I just kept laughing every time and tried to explain America!

Lunch today was.. great. Squid and potato stew, and additional roasted mushrooms. All of which, I imagine, tastes great for people who like those types of things. Ohh how I am craving some good American food.

Speaking of food, I get to eat my first meal back next Saturday!! Anyone have suggestions of what I should get? I am thinking pizza and subs, Chinese, or Mexican. I am particularly leaning to A&Js subs. Mouth is currently watering actually. And I made a deal with my mom and Olivia that they have to bring me homemade popcorn and/or white trash to the airport with them so I can eat it on the car ride home. :)

Sorry this blog has been all over the place. Sometime this weekend I will write one about the Cinco de Mayo and my overall blog for the semester, which is bound to be a lengthy one.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Send me any suggestions, etc... sorokeee@bonaventure.edu

Hasta luego!
