finally made it here!!
after a long pre-trip covering extensive mileage in central/western europe(italy, germany, czech republic, switzerland, and france), and a long day of trouble with public transportation systems, we arrived at universitat autonoma barcelona.
last night, to celebrate our arrival, we went out to a swanky club where we danced and caught the 3 a.m. bus back to Sabadell (the outskirt city where our university is) and crashed.
this morning, tara, nina, mallory (roomie), and i went on a run and discovered a really neat little greenbelt type trail where we can run in the shade/woods.
going to explore barri gothic quarter today..
expect more this evening!

finals.
it's 2:38 a.m. and i am working on an entry-level english mini-research paper that i barely started 2 hours ago.
class is slowly coming to an end, along with the rest of my organizatoins, and it is causing (2:39) me to come to the realization that i will be out of this country in less than 11 days, which (quite frankly) freaks me out.
i have massive amounts of things to accomplish still before the end of the semester, and (2:40) time is running out.
i sometimes wish that for one day that i could sleep late, not have any worries, and be lazy... read a book, and let the sunshine wake me up in the morning instead of my alarm clock at 6:30 every morning (2:41).
it's back to paper-writing...

VSL
Very Short List is a website/newsletter that sends you one e-mail update each day with stories that are worth your time but don't receive nearly enough press.
Nothing too political, mostly just random. But always worth reading.
