Finals week

This week (today) marks the start of finals week/month in the University of Murcia. Typically, most Spanish students have their exams spread out in a month.
Last Thursday I presented my final graphic design project and that went well, Monday presented our presentation on Uruguay with my friend Megan and that went...okay. The teacher was the worst teacher in the history of teachers. If he had behaved that was in the states, he would have been fired a long time ago. Either way, we finished, we passed and after class we sat at the university bar and had some tinto de verano with classmates. Today I handed in my final photojournalism project because there was a general strike today so class was cancelled and on Thursday I take my final literature oral exam.
Friday is the start of the world cup and our Mexican friends invited everyone over to watch the match and then afterwards we're watching Uruguay vs. France. I am very excited to be in Europe for the games because everyone here is very passionate about it. Especially since Spain is playing and they seem to have a fairly good team. On Saturday we're having a going away party for Megan because she leaves Tuesday night to go back to the US. Tuesday morning, Bella and I leave for our 14 day trip to Lisbon, Barcelona and Greece.
Today I had to say bye to our Swedish friend Jonna and it's sad to think that you'll either never see people again or not for a very long time, at least those from Europe. It's also nice to know people everywhere and with technology, it's at least easy to keep in touch.

Jonna, myself and Megan and Jonna's going away party. ¡Hasta pronto!
