Monday
I woke up at
7:40 this morning, so getting ready was a little frantic. I was
actually thankful for having a really small breakfast so I could
consume it in about 30 seconds. I still made it to class on time.

| Plaza de toros in Valladolid |
My history
presentation went fine. We got to do them from our seats again, and
for some reason that makes them SO much better. At the start of
every class, Sergio asks us if we have questions about anything. In
literature, evidently a group planned ahead, because they asked
Sergio as many questions as they could about what to see in
Valladolid, castles near here, what to do in Barcelona, methods of
transportation, and good things for kids to do here (because one of
the girls brought her son). Sergio played along and answered all the
questions and gave us lots of information. By the time the class was
half over, he was encouraging us to ask more questions so we didn't
have to start our literature topic. He said we're not allowed to ask
any questions in class tomorrow :) I must be taking a lot of notes
in my classes or all my pens are reaching their end at the same time,
because I've thrown away four already. I think I only have one left.

After school,
Bailey and I went to the library and got library cards. We didn't
have time to check out anything because we had to go home for lunch,
but I might go back tomorrow during my school break.
Lunch: Garbanzo
beans with potatoes and hot dogs with yogurt on the side

| El Corte Inglés |
We had plans to
see Spiderman, but when we got to the theater we found out they were
only playing it in 3D, which we didn't want. Instead, we took a city
bus to the plaza de toros and El Corte Inglés. We've been to the
other El Corte Inglés in Valladolid, but this one is much, much
bigger. It's the biggest department store I've ever been in. I
believe it had six floors, and every floor is massive. All the
products ranged from generic and cheap to name brand and really
expensive. For example, some purses were in separate rooms for
certain designers. We went in the Carolina Herrera section, and
Bailey saw that a tiny wallet was 70 euro. We left the are before I
checked the price of a big purse though because the clerk was giving
us a look that said: “You're not going to buy anything so why are
you in here?” I bought a dress (yes, that's right, I said dress)
and a shirt for 30 euro. No more clothes shopping for me.
Supper: Ham
omelets and yogurt
Run: 2.5 miles
Tuesday:
Today on my
school break I went back to the library, got myself acquainted with
the layout, and checked out a book for my literature paper.
Lunch: Stew with
veal and potatoes
Today was a
pretty hot day, in the mid 90s. Tomorrow's supposed to be in the
upper 90s as well, but then I think it's supposed to cool down again
after that. Bailey and I went to the beach for a little while, then
to the school for homework. We also bought tickets to go to
Barcelona August 3-5.
Supper: Hot dog
type sausages, french fries (always homemade!), salad, and watermelon
Bailey bought a
basketball last week so tonight we went to the beach and played 2 on
2 with the guys. I was no good but it was still fun.
