quick update
I spent the day in Córdoba last Saturday. I'll get pictures online soon. I've been really busy this week and the internet is not very reliable. As soon as the midterms ended we started working on final papers and projects. Today I had class starting at 10 am and I am finally sitting down in my room in front of my computer at 12 pm. Tonight I went to the other big University in Seville, the University of Pablo Olavide. its about 15 km outside the city. We went there to watch a movie and meet some spanish students. I got back home at 11:30. And now I have to finish some homework before class tomorrow.
Spain tied tonight in their soccer game, which was enough for them to officially advance to the World Cup in Germany this summer.
The euro is falling, its now worth 1.1679 US dollars. It used to be about 1.25 US dollars, everything is a little cheaper now.
We had a meeting on Tuesday for the year-long students. There are about 30-40 of us, including the other programs. We get to plan an overnight trip with a sizeable budget. We brainstormed a bunch of ideas and narrowed it down to three to be voted on later, Salamanca, Valencia, and Toledo. I'm hoping for Salamanca, the only of the three that I haven't been to. We were told that our program has more than twice as many students in the spring. I can't imagine that many students, there are a lot right now.
This weekend I may finally make it to Sevilla's flea market. Sevilla's two soccer teams play each other on Sunday, which is always a big game. Another big game will be this Saturday, Real Madrid versus Barcelona.

that's so cool that you get to follow europe's big sport, soccer.. the big sport in wisconsin, football, isn't so hot this year -- packers are 2-7 and badgers are bound for a crappy bowl game.
the bucks are sweet this year though. TJ Ford, Andrew Bogut, Jamaal Magloire, Reece Gaines, Ervin Johnson (remember him?) are all new guys. we're off to a 5-2 start.

Sam, what's a Spanish flea market like? Any good deals?
Ignore what Charlie said about the Badgers. If they beat Hawaii, they are in a good bowl. Butt, if they lose, then listen to Charlie. That would be a clever name for a bowl...the Crappy Bowl. Crap and bowl really do go together.
The Bucks are 5-3. Once again, Charlie is 'off base.'
