I am quickly approaching the halfway mark of my adventure, which seems as surreal as the fact that I am in another country right now. But time continues to march on and it waits for no one. My day was a pretty great day. I used my break in between classes to head to the gym for a good butt kicking. In advanced literature, we watched a movie called La Celestina, which is an adaptation from a tragedy written about 100 years before Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. To say that it was a "little bit red" was an understatement. For those of you who would understand the reference, think Shakespeare in Love times about 10. Talk about awkward.
Anyhoo, the roomies and I went to the movies tonight at the San Pedro Mall. Before the movie, we each got a Twix McFlurry, which might be the greatest contribution that McDonald's has ever made to this world. We saw Spiderman, which we initially thought was going to be all in Spanish with English subtitles. But it was in English with Spanish subtitles. It was actually kind of like a little slice of home for the evening, other than the fact that all the people who were talking during the movie were speaking in Spanish. I might not get this posted until tomorrow because the big, ugly procrastination monster might have struck me. Instead of working on my 15 minute oral presentation for advanced spanish, I went to the movies. Oh well, pura vida and all that jazz. It might be a long night. :)
