It's with a C.

Tomorrow lent starts and I haven't slept; I drank coffee, pepsi, and tea today to keep me awake for classes- and all I have eaten was some chocolate this morning, and a friekin donut on the way to Catalan. Run-on sentence rants are so much fun! Lent is going to clean me in and out, seguramente. Gasty and I are both giving up sweets/soda/fast food/alcohol, but my extra sacrifice is to refrain from playing any form of internet games... his sacrifice is coffee. This is going to be a long, long 40 days... but I am looking forward to them- I am happy to do this..

PS RANDOM:I got the same Catalan teacher as last semester, she's so cool- I am pretty happy about this.

Good night all,

and happy fasting.

Hola,

Today I was the first day of class... I would have been on time to the first one but the train stopped at Alfons X (pronounced AL-PHONES DAY-UW) for almost 10 minutes, then at Joanic (pronounced JEW-AN-EEK) for 5 minutes, and by the time I got to Passeig de Gracia, walked a block and a half down Gran Via, and got to the room, I was 15 minutes late. The class was amazing though, I really like this guy. The second class is no joke, there are 3 additional books, a 15 page paper, a packet of poetry readings, and 2 exams, plus you have to participate and cannot miss class. The guys personality was overly flamboyant as well, so I dropped the class ( since it's an elective I would rather take something I actually like...) Then the ESL class apparently starts next week. The class I added is a history of Catalonia class ( I figure I could use some more Spanish history, since I rarely attended my history class last semester)... which also starts next week, and I'm trying to figure out if I am going to add Catalan. Right now I have to e-mail my advisor, and call UIUC financial aid, before I fall asleep. I bought some yummy candle/ incense stuff today.. and some henna- I also managed to find tacs, so I can tac up a sheet over my exposed window.

Here are some pics of my henna- I outlined it with orange marker to make it pop.
Peace,
Cat
