As I said before, last night was rough, and that was two whole days before I actually have to leave. The truth is, I just don’t want to.
Finals today were…alright, I suppose. The first final was quite easy for what it was, but like the professor said, we did a lot of work daily in class, so the final wasn’t going to be that difficult. She said it was more important that we show up to class every day and do the work. I’m down with that philosophy! The first part was subjunctive finish-the-sentences type things. Then there was a section of three sentences where you had to give advice to your friend Pepe…because his eyebrows were almost grown over his eyes and he was too embarrassed to walk out in the street. Then there was a section where you had to make an assumption about why something happened. Then a finish-the-story about how Pepe wanted to go to Thailand but ended up in France. The last thing was to write about your experience as a foreigner in Oviedo. So I did. And at the end of it, I damn near started bawling. But luckily I held it together.
Then, after I walked out of class, my friend Amanda was sitting in the lobby, and I tried to explain to her how I was about to cry during the test, and then I did start crying. Jeeze. I need to get it together.
Went to our usual café and visited, had tortilla española. Said goodbye to Ford because he’s leaving tonight for Barcelona.
Studied a wee bit for the poetry test, but I figured if I don’t know it by now, I never will. It could have been better…could have been worse. I think I did a good job on the poetry analysis and ok on the identification of poetic devices. Didn’t do so hot on the definitions, but I don’t really care, to be honest.
After the test, the group of Missourians went out for lunch that Mizzou apparently paid for. We had a salad with Asturian cheeses, chicken and potatoes, and chocolate flan. It was sooooo good!
Came home, and no one was here, so I hopped in bed and got on the computer.
Thinking we may go out tonight then see Toy Story 3 in Spanish! How fun!

Met up with Stephanie, Daniella, and Amanda, and we were actually going to try a new place to get sangria de sidra, but it was completely packed, so we decided to hit up our ol’ faithful – the pizzeria.
It was delicious, as always, and when Alee showed up, we all shared a pizza. Yum!
I was absolutely obsessed with the music video channel they had on the TV in the restaurant…40 classic, I believe is what it was called. They played “Losing My Religion,” “Ruby,” “Soldier of Love,” “One,” and “The Boy is Mine.” I kind of didn’t want to leave. But the plan was karaoke, so I was game.
Didn’t quite work out as planned. Alee headed home to get changed, then was going to meet up with us at the plaza. We got to the plaza and hung out there for awhile, had Frangelico, then I thought we were going to go to a karaoke bar. But no. People wanted to go to bars/clubs to get free shots beforehand. And we ended up going to about 5 or 6 different bars, and I usually just sat outside with whoever didn’t want to go in. Just wasn’t in the mood for it really. Then, when we finally got to the karaoke bar, it was lame. Haha. So Stephanie and I just left and came home.
Skyped with Sean and Mom, Dad, and Wen for awhile. Finally hit the hay around 3 or so.
