Life in Spain
It's so nice! I've only been here for five days but it feels like so much longer since life here is so different from my life back home. Since I'm a student here and don't have a regular job, there's time to just sit in the park and talk and do nothing. In San Francisco I always made myself so busy that I could never really relax unless I took a trip outside of the city. I haven't done anything really touristy yet in Barcelona since I've done that stuff on previous trips to Europe in 2002 and 2003. Therefore I can really just relax and not think about seeing everything like on regular trips.
I'm slowing picking up a European English accent. In response I need to teach folks Californian English!
I've been learning how to pay attention in four hours of class after only four hours of sleep. The nightlife here is great, with tons of bars, restaurants, and clubs open late. I want to find places that play life music since the club music is all stuff I've heard before in clubs in the United States.
Some students here are staying with host families. While it is a great way to get to know more what regular life is like here, I'm really happy that I'm in an apartment with other students since I want to experience the young life. Most of the students here are in their early 20s and think that I am the same age. The students who stay with host families don't get as much exposure to the student social scene.

When you get around to doing touristy things (if ever), do me a favor and report on the progress in construction of La Sagrada Familia. They've been trying to build it for the last 150 years or so... when I looked in Fall 2003, it still wasn't done.
I'll check it out sometime while I'm here and let you know. I think they should hire more people to finish it up and get it over with. However I heard that there's debate over whether or not it should ever be finished.
