10/13/10 -10/14/10 Another School Week Done...

My two days of class this week.  Wednesday was long and dragged on.  I was happy that my nose was still running for Guerra Civil.  My professor just assumed that I had missed class because I was sick on Thursday.  I left it at that, even though it was only half the truth.  I swear I’m not an awful person for letting him think I am sick.  I have never missed a class a Bowdoin and Guerra Civil doesn’t cover much in one class period, so I felt kind of justified skipping.  I could have slept through History of Spain talking about Felipe II and his marriages.  European Union was kind of interesting… we learned about the difference between being integration and cooperation.  The EU is a mixture of the two systems.  Daven and I took the metro to our only Game Theory class of the week and we did three problems about simultaneous games with three agents.  I took the metro home instead of walking, because it was kind of cold outside.  Chilled in my house the rest of Wednesday night and read Lazarillo de Tormes for literature class.
            Thursday-  I had two classes.  Literature and Guerra Civil.  I found it hard to pay attention in both classes.  It is painful for me to have to hear the same thing 3 or 4 times, just reworded a little differently everytime.  I guess they try to make sure some of the students with weaker Spanish skills understand, but it just bores me.  Honestly, I did a Sudoku in literature.  There are a few different free news papers that get handed out in the city every morning.  I am not sure where they are handed out, but usually I can find one in the metro or one that someone left behind on a bench in the University buildings.  The Sudokus keep me entertained and my brain is a little more stimulated in class when I work on a Sudoku and take notes simultaneously.  After class I went home for lunch, then I met Miriam, Alex and Emily back at the University around 4:30.  We ended up just going to a café for a few hours and swapped stories about our weekends.  Miriam got to go to London to visit one of her good friends from home that happens to go to Bowdoin with me.  Her friend Tim has actually been in a few of my economics classes and we did Booz Crew together for Reunion Weekend, so I actually know him.  After dinner, I skyped my dad for a little while and then headed out for GNO (girls’ night out).  Probably about 10 girls from the program met at BCA and went to a bar for drinks.  I went home with Kelly and Dhariana afterwards.  We had to take the night bus home, since the metro closes at midnight on Thursday nights.  They always use the night bus, but it was my first time.  It stops right outside my building though, which is great!
