Just another day

I have 20 minutes right now before my literature class starts. I don't have a whole lot to talk about aside form my trip last week to Córdoba (view pictures). We've been studying the Mosque (century VIII-X) in art class so it was amazing to see it all in person and to understand what everything was and what it meant. Like the Conch shells in the Cúpulas signify eternal life because the conch shell signifies life and because it's positioned at the top of the Cúpula (symbolic heaven) it's the unification of life and heaven.. .. or something to that effect.
Today I have a presentation in History class about the economy of the Tenth century Califato of Spain. I just hope I won't freeze up like I have been lately. You see, when I try to speak Spanish my brain stops working, I mean no thoughts what so ever. I forget what I'm talking about and I just give up. Definitely frustrating. Hopefully that will get better with time.
This weekend I don't really have any plans, I would like to go to a church (which I have yet to do). They're all so far away I would have to take a bus to all but 2 of them. There's also this big museum thing on Friday. There will be flamenco presentations and all that fun stuff. I would love to do that. But that would require a lot of walking. . .
I've also been planing for my week of travel. I have decided, along with my friend Kristen, that we'll be traveling through Italy via Train. I'm pretty excited. but the train ticket is a bit expensive. it's good for 2 months of travel within 3 countries, meaning I can go to Paris some time, or somewhere else in France. Anyway, I'm still undecided.
I've been hearing a lot about the economic turmoil in the US. It's kinda frightening to be hearing that the country is finally showing the truth colors of recession but only now that I'm out of the country.
Anyway, almost class time and I've had one too many coffees this morning so I'm a bit jittery and anxious. I should probably cut down on that, huh!
