One of My Favourite Photos So Far

Sunday 18th: went to a medieval festival in a neighbouring neighbourhood which had EVERYTHING medieval, it was really cool. even archery lessons, hawks, hangings, and swordfights. ok, the hanging happened in a play so it wasn´t real. but the swords were... and their choreography good. hmm. my spelling has gone to the crapper. so has my vocabulary, i think all the spanish i´m learning is pushing out the english....!

on monday i met my intercambio, who is my exchange partner. we converse 1 hour in spanish then 1 hour in english. now, every student gets a partner, who is more or less thier age so they can go to parties etc with thier new spanish friend. my intercambio is Eduardo, a 39 year old economics teacher at the university! but he´s really cool, and his speciality is development economics, which is the area i want to go into - so what we talk about is all beneficial! not that we talk about economics all the time, nooooo! lots of different topics, but his english is nearly perfect anyway so thats good.

actually the past few days has been quite tame, getting into the rhythm (you don´t know how many times i spelt that to get it right... i´m still not sure if its spelt like that) of studying and things. had a test today which i did very well in for managerial finance, and now i have to go home and write an essay for spanish on food. mmmmm i´m hungry.

oh yeah, i may not get to post until monday or tuesday because this weekend i´m going to Barcelona!!!! wihooooo! i´m going with katherine, alisha, beth, ivan and jaron. this is going to be a kick ass weekend!!!
