Once again I have had a crazy/busy week that has flown by. This past weekend was great though, my family came on Friday and we were able to spend the whole weekend together. We had a great tour of Bilbao, the Guggenheim and whatnont, and we also drove East on Sunday to San Sebastian and Biarritz which is an awsome town in France. It was great having them here and looking back it all seems like a blur. They´re still in Spain right now and I could go down and meet them in Madrid for the weekend but I feel like Í´ve already seen Madrid so instead I leave in a few hours for Ireland.
Dublin should be a great mini vacation from the constant business of my life here and I´m excited to hang out with some of the other Westmont guys. We all had a pretty crazy week, the professors here love the schedule tests for the same week which makes things very fun for us. My first 2 tests weren´t bad, I´ve had enough econ and business classes at Westmont so this new stuff isn´t anything too tricky. I had to study a lot for my Spanish final though, but I think I did pretty good. Spanish classes here are either 2 semesters in 1 or if you´re feeling really ambitious you can take 4 semesters in 1. It´s nice to think that I´ve already finished 101 but then I remember that on Monday it all starts up again with 102. My spanish is definitely getting a lot better, I guess my previous knowledge from taking Spanish 1-2 twice in high school is paying off, and I´m excited to see myself improve even more in the next 2 months.
I will try and write a better post next week about my weekend and put up some pictures from the past few weeks so until then I hope you all are doing very well.

PS- I wanted to throw out a little shout out to my good friends Brooke and Tricia who sent me a very nice postcard yesterday, I never thought i´d get a card that talked about cannibalism, but it sure was nice. thanks girls!
