Monday, June 4th

No class today because our professor wasn't feeling well...can't complain!  It was the first day we had the day to ourselves with no obligations, which was really nice.  I spent the morning journaling and reading my Bible, which was much needed.  Then up until lunch I worked on my presentation that is on Friday for my culture and medicine class.  It is our final and has to be 10 minutes long...ugh, but I'm ready to get it over with!  I headed to lunch around 1ish and after eating, me and some friends went to Corte Ingles to pick up a few things and shop around.  It was a good time killer and I bought a few things I needed, like laundry detergent because it is almost time for me to do some laundry here...bummer!

For dinner tonight we got to make paella!  We were all together, including the host family people, and were split into 4 groups.  We cut up all the vegetables and chicken and then were given instructions step by step what to do!    We made a mixed paella with vegetables, chicken, and seafood!  Mhmm it was so delicious.  Our professors did a taste test of their favorite...and my table won!  Hollaaaa, it was so delicious!  After dinner, Ally, Anne, and I went to go grab a coffee together and catch up.  We went to our favorite cappuccino place on la rambla and Ally and I got cappuccino's, which were so delicious.  They put so much whip cream on them, I was in heaven!  The three of us were just chatting away about the trip and other things when we realized it was already 10:30 and we should probably head back to get some of our work done so we can have fun the rest of the week!  This is everyone who isn't doing the extension's last week, so everyone is trying to fit lots of activities in before they go.  I'm sad that everyone is leaving, but it will also be so great to have a smaller group for the last 2 weeks.  I have a feeling the last 2 weeks are going to be pretty chill and fun, so I'm pretty pumped!  I've just been working on my presentation and am probably headed to bed soon.  We have a field trip tomorrow at 9:30 am, which should be interesting, at least I hope!  Also, I finally updated my pictures on Facebook, so feel free to look at those too :)
