Can-t...use...proper...punctuation

Vale. So I-m stuck here in Barcelona. A beautiful, hot, colorful, interesting city. But it-s not Salamanca.
The last four days have been really fun. Sightseeing, being a tourist, hanging out with Lisa, going to the beach, eating Farggi ice cream, taking touristy pictures and running out of space on my memory card, pretending to know something about art and architecture, shopping and EATING. Man, there-s some good food here. Taking the metro everywhere and sweating all the water out of my system, hunting for famous Barcelona sites such as Parc Guell as seen in "L-auberge espagnole" and some other gaudi building that-s in a a Brazilian music video.

OKAY, so my four days are up and i have unwittingly put "buy return train ticket" off the whole time. Mentally, I-m prepared to go back to Salamanca. Me and Lisa get up at the asscrack of dawn to go buy my train ticket for today, but SURPRISE no hay nada. no seats for me on tomorrow-s train. no seats the next day. all that-s left is a first class night train tomorrow to madrid and then another train to Salamanca with a 3 hour layover. I will get into salamanca at noon, which means i missed a full week of school save one hour. AND to add salt to the wound, my return ticket costs. Costs=verb. Costs money, costs soul... Costs pride.

So now I-m here in Lisa-s Enforex school, not taking classes because i didn-t want to pay an extra 100 € for what i thought would be a 2 school-day visit well, i don-t regret that, but i am going to go home and studystudystudy.

ANYway. 4 great days in Barcelona have passed and now i have 2 more days to kill time, not spend money, and just relax. I hope this turns into a really good thing. Lisa has been gracious enough to find all the good things to do, let me stay in her place, show me good food and everything, but i feel i-m wearing out my welcome. It-s her last week and poor lis won-t have a day all to herself anymore.

okay, this is the part where i say something to cheer everyone up.
