Pizza cone.

First of all tomorrow is Friday. My last Friday in Madrid! This week has gone by in a flash. My first week here I thought It was going to go last forever, but now everything is so fast paced the day is over before I realize it! There is still so much I need to see and do here but I'm running out of time! We have another excursion on Saturday but Sunday and Monday are free days in Madrid. We will leave Tuesday morning for Andalucia!

After class today we visited the Senate! Very, very interesting! They had a beautiful library inside... the kind with 2 floors and a cute little ladder that takes you to the top and a spiral-y staircase... yes I will have one in my house one day. We met the Senator from Toledo and I sat on the bench where the president does... No big deal. We even got a present! A wooden box that has a really nice notebook and pencil bag thing. Random but great!

Much to our surprise there was a market near the metro at the Senate... I may have bought a dress, and some "spanish" pants... maybe 2 pairs of them... It's possible... I have to blend in right? :) Then Emily and I went to Spain's version of a Panera and practiced for our oral exams today. This is where the explanation of my picture above comes in. I had pizza... shaped like an ice cream one? Only in Spain... I was so nervous about my oral exam but thankfully it went really well (hopefully.) I went in with no confidence and left my exam with confidence so that has to be a good sign!

Now we've been studying for our written exams tomorrow since dinner (which was rice and beef-like meat, very good actually.) We have more to get done but there's always time for a blogging break. I'm looking forward to 12:30 tomorrow! I'll be free :)

Oh and I forgot to mention this... we had asparagus with our dinner... I know that the image of beautiful green, tasty asparagus just came to your mind. No no... this was cold... large.... and white. Did I mention your supposed to dip it in mayonnaise? No thanks...

Senate!
