After our naps on Wednesday we decided that rather than all coming together to cook dinner that we should all cook seperately and then meet downstairs to eat together. The next day was pretty simple as well. After class we had our usual Spanish Siesta and then we spent our evening studying because our exam was on Friday. The exam was definitely harded than we expected, but I ended up doing very well on it. After the exam we went to our International Student Orientation with all the other international students who are now here on campus. It was cool to be able to meet a lot of other students from all over the world. After the orientation we went back to class and got our diplomas for completing the course. Then we went to talk to our instructor, Marina, about what level of spanish course she thinks we should take. Next, normal siesta, then we went to meet a couple of friends that Suzette got to know through one of her friends at home that live here in Pamplona. We all went out to get Pinchos (tapas), dinner, and then did the typical Spanish night of walking from bar to bar and then ended up at a place to dance and the last place we went to was so packed we couldn't even move so we headed back to the dorm. Since it was at least 4 when I went to bed after talking to everyone on skype I slept in on Saturday!! I slept till almost 2, woke up for a bit, and went back to sleep until 5. Bobby wanted to go to La Morea to get some groceries since everything is closed on Sunday, so I walked with him in the freezing cold rain to the store. When we got back Courtney, Bobby and I made chinese food and watched Harry Potter in Spanish. I was definitely amazed at how easy it was to understand the movie. I was quite impressed!! Then another night of skyping everyone then bed. While I was skyping with Mom she was letting me skype with Bubba and he walked over to the phone and everytime I said something he would whine. Needless to say it broke my heart. That was definitely the hardest thing I've done since I have been here. That dog definitely has my heart for sure. The next morning I was skyping with Mom and she was showing the phone to my kitty and he would stare right at me on the phone while I was talking to him. He is definitely the smarted animal in my house, and for sure a sweetheart. I miss my babies for sure. I also found out this week that I will be done with exams on June 6 rather than the 23, so I will be here for an extra two and a half weeks after classes end unless I can move my flight, still looking into it. Anyways, today has been very chill, catching up on Grey's Anatomy and getting ready to watch the second Harry Potter in Spanish tonight with Amanda, Courtney, and Bobby. :)
