Pre-Spring Break

Guess I should update this before I head off to 3 cities in 2 beautiful countries for 10 days. #solucky

So the plan for spring break is:
Friday 3/2 - Monday 3/5 Excursion to MADRID with some professors and Castle Faculty for some learning and fun. And Flamenco lessons! (I am SO excited)
Monday 3/5 - Thursday 3/8 BARCELONA! Basically partying and clubbing and drinking. I'll be safe I promise! And seeing the gorgeous sights, obviously.
Thursday 3/8 - Sunday 3/11 ROME. I am going to Rome. I cannot process this currently. Seeing the Vatican. And other things. Staying in a cute Bed and Breakfast. And oh yeah I'm going to be in Rome. Super excited for Italian food and gelato :)

Exciting plans in the works! This past week was really chill and relaxing. I stayed back at the Castle, which was nice seeing as midterms are this week and I have one in 16 minutes....
Friday  a bunch of us went to the Pancake House.. these pancakes were awesome. They were thin, a little thicker than crepes and had different combinations of bacon, ham, cheese, apples, bananas and other things on them. Delicious! Then at night the World Drama class saw a production of Rain Man in Utrecht, a town about 2 hours away. It was in Dutch, and the production was really interesting. It was cool to see a story that we knew (we'd read the script and watched the film) cut down and put onstage in another language. I found myself watching how the actors watched and listened to each other, since I wasn't focusing on what was actually being said. I thoroughly enjoyed the production, though other students had different reactions. We even got to talk with the actors who played Charlie, Susan and Raymond (for a bit). That was pretty cool.

Ok, midterm in 10. Send smart World History vibes!
