So today, again, I woke up before the alarm went off? I don’t know what is going on…it was like 15 minutes before we were supposed to…so I just got up. I showered and got ready. We had planned yesterday with the group we were going to La Sagrada Familia (a church that was designed and started by Gaudi in 1882 and it still isn’t finished! It’s supposed to be done until 2026, the 100th year anniversary of his death) so I wanted to wear something appropriate incase we went inside…I wore a skirt and a nice white shirt. We had breakfast and were off to school. We still haven’t got the bus schedule down, because every time we go to wait for the bus, it’s never there right when we get there? I don’t know if we’ll ever get it down!! Oh well. We stopped for our usual breakfast, bread and a piece of fruit, which usually totals a little over a euro, it’s great. That constitutes as my lunch and snack! Gotta’ save my money somewhere, because I like spending it on other things…such as souvenirs, tours, and clothes. I was able to talk with Jordon this morning as well; it was nice to see him again.  I didn’t have time to blog…but I did get a few emails out. I was also busy looking up hostels to stay in while we’re in Madrid. I found one we’ll be booking tomorrow! We will be getting our own room too! We also are looking into going to a soccer game while we’re here! Matt got a front row seat for 61 Euros…we aren’t paying that though…the rest of us are looking at tickets in the nose bleed section! Oh well, it will be an experience I’ll probably never do again! In class today we were talking about jobs and differences in other countries. I think the craziest thing we talked about was that Spaniards usually don’t move out of their parents’ house until 30!!! All of us Americans were in shock! Mom and Dad, could you imagine me home until 30? I think my dad wanted me out when I turned 18…no no I am just kidding! Lol. Anyways, I thought I would share that…a bit crazy to me. After school we walked over to La Sagrada Familia and it was soooo awesome. Pictures cannot do justice for you all…you’re just going to have to come to Spain for yourself! It’s amazing…the designs and just everything! I took some pictures of that, as well as, a few with me in front! We did a little shopping around the area, there were many tourist stores around, and I got a few things for people! Kaila and I took the metro back but had to change lines in between…it was kind of crazy. But I understanding the Metro system pretty well, which is pretty cool! We arrived home around 8ish and now are relaxing! Kaila has her test tomorrow so she is studying away, while I’m doing this and doing homework. I have my test on Thursday, so I’ll be studying tomorrow night. Also, I should really start doing my compositions. We have other assignments from UWGB that need to get done as well. I hate doing homework during summer! We ate dinner around 9 PM and we had lasagna…it was really good, along with salad. I ate some flan for dessert, not a huge fan of it. There was no ice cream left and only one chocolate mousse left, which I let Kaila have, so I went with flan. As you can tell, I’m not the best with sharing when it comes to food! Can you blame me? I was the only child for about 10 years! Haha. Anyways, I’ve gotta get going with my work. Until tomorrow! Adios!
