I went on my last vacation before i have to study ricidulously hard for finals (studying should have started 2 weeks ago i think...oops).  We swam in the sea, danced on the beach at night, buried brian in the sand, and built the most amazing sand castle you will ever see.  I was in charge of the bridge and it reminded me of 3rd grade when we had to form companies and build bridges out of toothpicks.  anyone remember that? i may have invented thispart of the memory, but i think the TNBD bridge company (mine) won.  I was the accountant.  Oh how things take you back. thanks to those experiences, it was one amazing bridge to go with one amazing castle.  Until the spanish children came and knocked it down.  Life.

I have less than 2 months left in Spain.  That is odd.  I have taken up swimming these days, but i'm not exactly sure how long that will last.  I've honestly never stuck with any form of exercise for more than a few months.  (Never too late to change?)  You know what's weird? I'm addicted to the O.C.  these days.  They have 2 episodes in one night on Wednesdays. I started out as such a skeptic, and now i get really irritated if my roommates talk during the show.  I am in love with Salamanca and Madrid.  If i ever live in Spain again, I could be really happy there.  You are all in the world of finals now or will be soon....good luck!  I have a whole month left until my finals.  I am going to see a bullfight soon!  I don't know how i feel about them yet, but i suppose i will decide through experience.  Did you know that in the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, people die every year, and it is usually americans? They blame it on Hemingway. 

 i went swimming today! and ate american food! and got a wall!  and may not be able to come home from spain ever because sta travel is a cabron.  look how i've learned spanish!
