Park or Study? Park.

Just got a telemarketer on my spanish cellphone. Feels pretty legit.

Today is sooo nice out and I have no class cause it's Friday. This means really tough decisions: pack a picnic for the park or study for my final and do projects for next week? I just have to pass the classes....

Yep, I chose outside versus homework, and am quite pleased with that decision. Yesterday was Amy's birthday, so she, Shannelie who was visiting from studying abroad in Milan, and I went to Maoz, a new (for me) vegtarian/falafal restaurant to pick up lunch and had a picnic in the park. We then walked home from the park all the way home which is like an hour walk. The walk to so uncomfortably hot, we saw an icecream shop sold ice-ees "granizados". My coffee one was unebelievably refreshing.

Then I did exactly 45 minutes of my paper.

It was another friend visiting from Georgetown's, David, last night in Madrid, so we went to chill at an outside terrace. We awkwardly waited while a table freed up and had to fight the 2 guys also lurking. Luckily a second table opened up and little blood was shed.

Today we are going "hiking" with the program. Im not really sure what this hiking will entail. All I know is it means Sunday= homework time. for real.
