Today I woke up around 9 AM and showered. YAY! It was nice and I even showered with warm water. Kaila and I had breakfast and went off to school; it was really hot today, so we took the bus. We are really like the bus…even after my incident the first day! Getting us lost, by bus 92, instead of going to school, we went to the beach. Now I can look back and laugh buuut at the time…I was terrified! Annnyways, before we went to school, we stopped at a little café and got some lunch for later. I got a baguette so I could look/feel more European. I don’t think it really helped though! We went to school and used the computers, now our daily routine, I emailed, updated my blog, and loaded pictures onto Facebook. Then it was off to class, where it went pretty well. We took our test and I scored a whopping 14/20…eek. My professor said we should be scoring 12 or higher, so I did well. Besides the fact, I got the second best score in my class…so yay me! We corrected the test right after and I made 3 really stupid mistakes. Next week, we’ll be taking our EXAM!! I really hope to pass, so I can move to the next level! After class, we finally ordered our EURail passes. I am “officially” going to Madrid (over my birthday weekend …Oh and Jordon, if you’re reading this, we’ll still be celebrating my birthday for a week!! haha ) and Paris. My weekends are now filled up. The other weekend we’ll be traveling outside of Barcelona to two other cities…but one on Saturday and one on Sunday. This trip is going to move much faster this way, before I know it I’ll be home. After school, Kaila, Emily, and I came back to our house to drop off our things from school and my computer. I hate bringing this thing around with me. We went to the Fountain show near Placa de Espanya. Font Magica is the name of the fountain. It was huge and A LOT of water, with bright lights and lots of music. It was weird though because all the music was in English…it made me think of home. It was very pretty and I took some pictures. We also, grabbed a bite to eat around the fountain; of course it was very expensive! It’s a tourist trap; there is a lot of those around here. I ordered a grilled ham and cheese and water and it was like 6 Euros! Craziness. Tomorrow we plan on going shopping with Emily! I can’t wait!
