Finals Day 2, Plus Karoke!!!

Hola!

Today was a more exciting day than the last two. In my grammar class I had my final. I thought it was okay, maybe a little icky, but later after the exam my teacher looked at me and said “muy bien” which means very good. So fingers crossed. In history we talked about Franco and watched a funny Franco satire. In literature we talked about books of the 60s. I have mentally checked out of that class. In culture we talked about sports. BORING! Tomorrow we are going to start watching a movie called Primos.

For lunch we had hot dog, rice, and a fried egg. I then walked over to tour some of the few convents in the city. First I went to San Esteban. It was by far the best. The church is the church that my host parents got married in. they also had a little museum. I was thoroughly grossed out when I saw these little cases filled with relics. Ew. I would not want my body chopped into tiny little pieces and shipped around the world.

Las Duenas was basically just a garden. It was a very pretty garden, but just a garden all the same. I then went to Las Ursalas. The church was free to get in to, but the museum was 2 euro. It was a bit of a rip off because the room was tiny and only had like 12 paintings. I don’t mind supporting the nuns though. There were 3 of them there and all of them were at least a foot shorter than me. I felt like a giant. Is it a rule that nuns can only just brush the 4 foot mark?

We then had a meeting and I learned that I have to meet at the bus stop to go to the airport at 1 am. We will get to the airport at 3:30 am and my flight leaves at 11 am. Woohoo! I am definitely going to take a nap at the airport.

I relaxed and packed before meeting our ISA group for our goodbye dinner. It was actually a decent dinner. I had a turkey and walnut salad as well as breaded chicken breast with French fries. After we walked to the karoke bar. It was so fun seeing everyone get up there and sing. I didn’t though. I had to leave because I was falling asleep on the couch. Now it’s time for bed! In 48 hours I will be on a bus bound for the Madrid airport!
