Barcelona, Spain - Blogabond

listening to... Spanish Bombs - The Clash

I've been back for about two weeks now, and my life is starting to get back on track. I no longer live out of a suitcase, which officially happened from December 1, 2007 - January 7, 2008. I never want to do that again, actually. And from the looks of things, my suitcase couldn't do that again,...

The office visit and chest xray took me...

Amanda shows up in Barcelona, take two.

Well, it´s been three days since I´ve arrived even though I´ve only been concious for two of them. My latest method of dealing with jetlag/extreme exhaustion was to go to bed at 1030 on Monday morning (intending to take a short nap before lunch) but the next thing I knew, it was 9 am on Tuesday....

Tying up loose ends...

1. First, "finals week" here is really something more like "finals day." I had three exams on Wednesday. Were they difficult? Well, I emerged from them all with my sanity intact (the same cannot be said about finals at Knox). So that was okay. Yes, they were all in Spanish. So that... that...

Hot pink nail polish doesn´t fix anything

On a whim, I painted my nails hot pink. Like, Barbie pink. I´m really entertained by it, partly because of the color and partly because I would never describe myself as a hot-pink-kind-of-girl.
