“I soon realized that no journey carries one far unless, as it extends into the world around us, it goes an equal distance into the world within.”

Well the time has come for ......... BARCELONA & VALENCIA
I am soooo excited.  :)  To bad I will not be sleeping at all tonight and I will have to leave my room @ 3:45 to walk to the Sud Bahnhof to catch the 4:12 train.. oh boy.. This morning shall be a fun one to say the least.  Gotta love it <3  Early morning traveling - so just to say my first day in Spain, may not be the easiest on my body.. but sometimes you have to sacrifice right?? haha Well I say it's a go!

Flash back through this week -
Monday - I found out that Kelly is coming to visit for sure during the month of may, who knows where we will end up traveling but nonetheless it will be a fun time! 
Tuesday - for Visualizing American History our lecture was about 9/11.  Interesting right?  Well not exactly, I felt more like it was attacking the day- saying we were making it this huge thing, granted it was all through the eyes of one person Art Spiegelman.  I will say that I did not enjoy his comics - others did, but I just felt very hurt, I am not exactly sure why... but I did not feel right after this lecture. 

Anyways the rest of my day got better, I was able to work out and then Rapheal was having a movie night so I headed on over.  The movie was called Lammbock.  It is a German movie, mostly about Weed- fitting seeing as yesterday was 4/20 right?? lol Well anyways it was interesting to say the less, not a typical movie I watch but it was in German - so all the better for practice and good company :D 
Wednesday was my full action packed day - well more so then the rest of my weekdays :P
I had class - Martin Luther & the reformation - I will say that I was able to understand more this time.  Luther was a very interesting man, who shared a fear of Thunderstorms- well at least at one time it helped him become a monk- go him!  lol
Then I had a two hour break where I read about Luther and then for my journal for month 9 :) and then I had tutorial about Martin Luther.. lol it was quite a fun day of German lol
After my Tutorial i went over to Steph's and we had some amazing Omlettes with Brocolli and onions & ham and cheese. It was rather tasty!  & healthy if I may add lol.
Then I came back here and pretty much called it a night.
Thursday -Today
was my day off - well kinda.. I worked out, wrote my journal, and then cleaned up the place a bit.  Wandered out side in the GORGEOUS 70 Degree weather and then discovered that my internet reaches outside.. how cool is that. So I sat out there for about 20 minutes soakin in the rays - trying to get some sort of base. lol Now that is funny :P
Anyways now here I am - probably going to take a nap after writing this.. then waking up as if it is a new day and preparing myself for BARCELONA!!!! One of my dream trips of this semester.  I am soooo Stoked! 
Well I guess Until next time <3

mucho Amor

Viel Liebe

Much love
