So, school is a LOT tougher here than it ever was in Mexico, but it feels like a break compared to the past semester so I am trying not to complain too much.

I spent all day on Tuesday studying for a test the next day and then Tuesday night I went to a Chambao concert that was here in Segovia.  It was probably one of the best nights of my whole trip.  The music is kinda ¨flamenco-chill¨, if that means anything to you.  It was great, the instruments and singing and the clapping... I tried to take some video with my camera but I don´t know if it will translate the ¨vibe¨ like I would like it to do.  The concert got over around 12:30 am (the night was still young in spanish terms) so I went to the Plaza Mayor to study (more) with Nicole.  After two cups of coffee, I was on a role and then it got hit with sleepiness so headed home but woke up early to study some more. (The history of Spain is a complicated one... SO glad we don´t have kings and ¨overthrowing¨ and stuff like that to remember... although, I am ashamed of what little I do know about the history of my country.)  When I was studying before the test, I was in a café in the Plaza Mayor and I saw my professor (bonus points!!!) and she told me that she eats there every morning because the waiter is SO cute... I SO agree with her!

My final is on Monday and for this test we only have to cover from 1808 until present day.  We have covered the entire, and I mean it, history of Spain... we began in pre-historic times.  I can´t say that I will retain everything, but I am pretty sure (knock on wood) that I am gonna walk away with an A!!! Woo HOO!

Off for an excursion... headed to Pedraza for the afternoon with the group.
