My life is fun

I woke up to find copious animal droppings on my windowsill. There is seriously an animal of some sort living there, no me gusta. Got ready and headed to the center to hang around before class. It was about 10 degrees cooler than the day before, which isn´t saying much--it was 89 degrees. It was also cloudy and humid. Woohoo! Hung out in the center for a bit, then went to Lope which was as boring as ever. We talked about religious street performances which I doubt have any relevance. The best part about it was knowing that I´d only have one more day...one more hour left of that class (Friday would be my last day of Lope) halleluyah! After Lope I wandered over to the center to internet some more. I skipped Teatro because it would just be more performances, and spent that hour blogging about Ireland...so much to say about that trip! Then I went to Iconografía at 6 which was actually quite interesting. We learned about the iconography of surrealism which was not only interesting, but easy to follow. Perhaps it´s because I´ve written a 20-page term paper on surrealism at UofM. But yeah, good times. Very basic. It was good to have a class where I understood everything because I was able to get a better idea of his lecture style and his tangents so I know what to latch onto from his previous lectures. Nice. Class got out at 7 and I walked straight home to type up my notes/study for Teatro. On the way home I ran into María del Mar on the street who was on her way to the opera to meet Alfonso (the new guy she´s been dating). She seemd nervous and excited. I´d better meet this guy soon...! I typed up all of my notes on "Barranca Abajo". It took me two hours, until dinnertime, to finish, basically. Then we ate, pescaditos fritos (little fried whole fish, sooooo good), and a cooked vegetable dish with green beans, onions, eggplant, and some other stuff, not exactly sure. But it was quite delicious. For dessert we had a fruit that I have never seen nor tried before; they´re called nípteros and they look like a mixture between an apricot, cumquat, and pomegranate. It´s light orange, you peel away the skin, and eat it. They´re little, so you eat multiple. They tasted like a combination of guava, mango, and kiwi. So good! I looooove nípteros. I looked up that word in my dictionary and it said "medlars". Is there a fruit called medlars? Where do they grow? And how come I´ve never heard of them? Well, I love them now. After dinner I finished typing some notes, hung out with Stacey in the living room and watched a little bit of the "Eurovision Song Contest" which is honestly one of the most laughable things I´ve ever seen. It was different European countries putting up their most famous pop artists to perform and compete to win, like American Idol, kind of. It´s just funny because the pop in each country is so different. For example, the Icelandic performance was more like a showgirls performance. A lot of them sang in English, and they were terribly written songs. Oh man. The Lithuanian group was my favorite: 7 40-something men singing a song called "We are the Winners of Eurovision" while attempting to "rock out". Oy. Those are the kinds of lyrics they come up with. It was hilarious, I can´t even describe it. At around 12:30 I went to bed. The end. Exciting day, eh?
