Well If You Have To Go…Hold It!

Wednesday April 2, 2008

 Do you ever have those days where you have too many things to do and you don’t exactly know where to start…so you just don’t do anything? Well that pretty much sums up my day today. After doing my homework for tomorrow I found it hard to concentrate on anything else. I have lots of final papers and projects to do but nothing that is small and easy to work on, therefore I avoided it all. Instead I bought myself a Coke and went to sit down by the river. Today was even nicer out than yesterday; I’d say we exceeded 80 degrees. Lets just say that I had on a sundress and sunglasses and I was hot.

 People are starting to get fidgety on the trip. They don’t know if they want to stay, go home, just be done with homework, start traveling, not travel at all…its kind of a random mix of emotions. Personally, I can’t help but sit here and not want to go home. I still feel like there are so many things that I want to do in Sevilla. Go to a bullfight…climb La Giralda…paint “La Puente de Triana” at night…But as of today there are only 26 days left of Sevilla and then 14 days of travel throughout Spain left. I can’t believe that time has gone by this quickly. But honestly who’s counting, right?

 In other news: public urination is the new cool thing to do in Sevilla. In the past week I have almost run into or seen a person peeing within five feet of me more than 3 times. It’s more than what I wanted to see and I think that the guys should really get that figured out. Honestly, it’s just gross. For god sakes, at least try and be discrete about it. So hear me out:  last Friday night (9-10pm) I was walking down the street by school minding my own business when I almost ran into a guy peeing right on the sidewalk…in the CENTER OF THE CITY! I wanted to stop him and say, “Dude, seriously?” but I’m not sure if that would have been good conversation starter, nor would I even want to make friends with the public indecency delinquent. To make a long story short, I don’t exactly agree with the fact that Spain has no public restrooms, but I strongly disagree with public urination.
