Tuesday and Wednesday: July 14 and 15

TUESDAY:
Kind of a sleepy day today, couldn't seem to wake up which was really frustrating in class. 
Culture we finished our packet and then we moved on to do an overview of Spanish History.  I felt very confident in this thanks to Montserrat's class at Marshall which went into great detail about nearly all aspects of Spanish History. 
In Language we went over the exam for Thurs. this stressed a lot of people out, but I feel alright about it.  The thing is that all B.2, C.1, and C.2 level students (I'm in B.2 now) are required by the university to take a Academic Certification Exam for foreign students learning Spanish which gives you a certificate that would allow you to study among native speakers.  The problem for many is that the exam is not specific for our level it is mostly based upon the C2 level, which we would most likely not be able to accomplish..
This means that on Thurs. I will begin my day with 90min. of reading comprehension, followed by Culture class, and then I will have 60 minutes of writing and 20 minutes of our classes actual final.  Then on Monday we will conclude with 90 minutes of auditory comprehension.  Luckily our professor will only be referring to the written portion as part of our grade.  The other two parts will not affect our grade....
Lunch: Chicken, broccoli soup and bread
shower, homework, studying, nap, more homework and studying, Yoga!, blog work and then dinner..
4 cheese tortellini with broccoli!
Bed



WEDNESDAY
We got out of the house pretty late around 7:55..Rushed to the station where we had 3 minutes to wait for the train. Good thing was that I say my Language professor Daniel in the station as well, I was not going to be late but the others were pushing it.  When we reached Canal (our transfer) we had once again to run down both flights of stairs/escalators to catch our other train.  I was first, then Alice, and Amanda came last getting stuck behind this slow guy on the escalators.  When Alice and I got on the train we both turned and she grabbed hold of the train doors to ensure that they would not close before Amanda and a couple other Nebrija students had made it on, it was quite a heroic thing especially for so early in the morning. I made it with plenty of time to spare as my professor had missed that train.
Class today was good.  We learned that we were not going to have the big exam I talked about above and that was explained throughout the entire class yesterday.  We continued talking about a Spanish history today.
On the way home I think I got really dehydrated as I suddenly became very dizzy.  Walking home was tough and it the house was pretty stuffy when we got there. I went to sleep for the 40 minutes before lunch.  Lunch was delicious! She made it on my request...A noodle and arugula salad with fruit, nuts, a little imitation crab, and cheese along with these hard boiled eggs with a yummy little mix inside.  I  still didn't feel great unfortunately.  We talked about mimes and acting today.
Took a long nap...woke up much better.
Had a chocolate and icecream bar that I picked up at the grocery store the other day.  Then I began reviewing again for my final tomorrow.  I think that it will be pretty good; it consists mostly of vocabulary and structures that we worked with last semester and this.
At about 9 Amanda and I ate dinner: Chinese noodles (like Ramen) and tuna sandwiches.  Alice, who has already finished her midterm papers, was away at the pool.  Then it was more studying and talking and finally bed.
