Monday!

Yesterday was quite exciting. I started my morning by finding a needle in my room.. with my foot. Yes, there was a needle on my floor, and it stuck in my heel through my sock. Well that was an exciting way to start Monday! My first class was canceled, so I only had 2 left for the day. I got ready and went to the metro to go to school. I saw Hannah and 2 of my other friends on the metro, so we chatted on the way to school. On the way, as we were passing through the part of journey that has beautiful views of fields, olive trees, and mountains that is also about 2 minutes from the UIB station, the train just stopped. Well that was exciting. There was something wrong with the electricity, so we couldn't pass through the dark tunnel to the station since it would be dark. We stopped around 1:12pm, and my class was starting at 1:15pm. Hmm. The conductor opened the door and said something in catalan, so we weren't really sure what exactly happened. We sat there for a little more than 30 minutes until we finally moved again. As we went through the tunnel, none of the lights were working except for small orange lights on the tunnel wall. It looked pretty amazing to be going through a tunnel when it's almost completely dark. I didn't quite understand why we had waited for so long then went ahead without lights, but whatever. By the time we got to school, only about 10 minutes were left in the class, so we didn't go. Instead, Hannah and I got our university cards, and she showed me where the bus stop on campus is. (I never ride the bus, but the metro was really backed up from our little incident.) I hate the bus. It was super hot, because it was about to rain, and it was soooo crowded that I didn't get a seat. I will not be taking the bus again. I love the metro. So I went home and ate and finished up some homework and rode the metro back to school for my last class of the day, grammar. After class, we met up with Andrea, Chelsea, and Brittany and went to our favorite cafe for homemade icecream and to talk about our weekend and plans for the week. The icecream is soooo good. I had almond, which is their specialty, and it tastes like cinnamon, almond marzipan. Amazing. After that, we all headed home and ate dinner. Just another day, and another transportation fail.

Hasta pronto,
