Spain's elections are this Sunday (they do it on Sunday so no one has an excuse not to vote) and I have to say that I will be ready for that to be over with. As my Señora said the other day, "As the elections get closer and closer all they do is yell louder and louder". I guess some things are the same in every country.

School
The University of Sevilla Students are on strike right now, which means no one is going to class. Unfortunately, I am still going to class.
Lunch
Spring
The last few days I have ditched all responsibilities and have decided to continue my studies outside of class enjoying the weather. Monday I spent the afternoon in a park near to my house, people watching and reading. I stayed until the day wound down and then walked through the orange tree lined streets back home. Tuesday I spent the morning at the main park in Sevilla, María Luisa, soaking in the sun and eating lunch with friends. Wednesday, we stopped for ice cream as we walked through the city center in Sevilla, over the bridge into Triana, (my neighborhood) and home. I don’t really think spring in Spain could get any better (except for when family and friends come to visit…the countdown is on).
For my grades’ sake, please pray for some rain…
Lunch
I am relatively certain I ate lamb meatballs for lunch today.
Spring
As much as our professors and program directors tells us that we are in Sevilla to study (as in go to classes), we all know that the most learning is going on outside of classes: on our travels, at our home stays, and in the streets. I have four exams next week, and the whole idea that I need to study for these exams is really wearing on me, especially with the start of spring in Sevilla.

I encourage you to evade studies and continue getting the most out of Spain. This post offers a very happy contrast to how I usually imagine you during the semester - hunched over the dining room table, wrapped in a blanket and "cramming" for an exam that's a week away yet.
Hi Laura
Paris sounded great. I am going to have Janalee read it cuz she'll be there over spring break. I don't think I'l pray for rain seeing the sites is so much more educational. YOu can make up the grade point next semester back in boring ole wisconsin. Keep having fun
