Valentines Day

This valentine's day, I went to the movie Valentine's Day with a group of five other girls. The movie theater is at this entertainment center called Zig Zag. When we got there, they were playing a soccer match on the giant screen of the food plaza. Price wise, the tickets for a night show were 6.50 euros which is about $8.80 in the states. There is a small movie theater in the city center where we live but there is only one room and it was showing Wolfman. We ended up walking about 15 minutes to the Zig Zag place. 
Once at the theater, we bought candy at a candy shop outside of the theater and it is surprisingly acceptable to bring in outside food. There were only a couple of differences with movie theaters in the states:
1. The movie theater was very very warm inside. 
2. You get an assigned seat when you purchase your ticket.
3. No one talks during the movies (at least during this one. Except for my Austrian friend who talked to me throughout the whole movie).
4. The movie was in Spanish. Completely in Spanish. Except for the part where they sang I Will Survive. It wasn't the same watching Julia Roberts, Ashton Kutcher, Jamie Foxx, etc, speaking in Spanish...but it was very entertaining nonetheless. 
The first day of class is tomorrow, so it'll be like going to a new school all over again. I've been 
told girls in Murcia don't use backpacks, so I might have to follow the trend to blend in with the other students.
