A quick entry before I write a briefing on the elections in Guatemala for my internship. Yesterday I got back from my trip to Portugal 3 hours later than expected. I guess my Spanish bus driver needed to take plenty of breaks on our way back, it was fine. I had my iPod for most of the trip to entertain me until it sadly ran out of batteries and then some good naps. The weekend trip to Lisbon was lovely, lots of churches, cathedrals and castles. I will post pictures and more about the trip later. I have a busy week ahead of me.
In the next two days I have to create a powerpoint on the city where my college is, read about 50 pages to answer 13 questions, write a 2-3 page essay telling the story of a cartoon we were given and do some grammar worksheets. Very doable but I don’t have very much time. Today between my internship and watching Mila I am going to work like a busy bee, then after I come home from watching Mila more work. Pretty much the same deal for tomorrow except it will be work between internship and class and then after class. I have this intense seminar, or what I am making out to be intense seminar, it is 3 days long and it counts towards 50% of one of my mind grades. I suppose I make it sound intense because I have the powerpoint and questions to hand in before the class, and then on the third day of class I take the final and then there is my grade, so much riding on such a short time. It will all get done. I just feel like I have a lot these next couple of days.
Then after I have to meet with a professor from Middlebury about my parallel project, this 20 research paper I am suppose to do in reference to my internship, like the written part of my work to get credit for this internship in the next day or two. I also need to book my family’s trip to Italy, that will be a lot of fun but later in the week. Then a couple of other errands but nothing to colossal. Anyway, I must get to doing work work but I just thought I’d drop in and say hello. So I owe you a most substantial post about Portugal.
Also Jason comes Friday! Can’t wait!
Lastly, if you are bored and like old Spanish ladies, this is a great article in the NY Times.

It is an article about a 95 Spaniard who writes a blog and it is really lovely, it is in Spanish but enjoy it.
Her blog address is: http://amis95.blogspot.com/
She is pretty funny, worth checking out, obviously if you speak Spanish.

Hi beautiful! I know you are so busy and will be even more busy with Jason so understand if you can't email or blog for a few days but when you do have time send pics. Can't wait to hear about Portugal. I love the pics you sent me from the concert in Chicago. I look at them when things seem to be going wrong and they always bring this big smile to my face. I've enjoyed every picture you took in Spain, whether it's Madrid or Marbella (especially when you are in it).Try to take a pic of you and the Priminister. I read the grannie blog from the New York Times (I got it in English) and I sympathize with her but disagree in that we are more than our looks.Our accomplishments and how we treat others define us more than our superficial looks. In Italy and China, old age is a sign of wisdom. I believe it even though I am living in the worlds most superficial of cultures. I feel so much smarter about most things. When I was younger, I was prettier but more insecure and much more easily manipulated. Think of Hillary Clinton! I hope she wins because in our culture, porn stars rule and if a woman can become President it speaks volumes to all the superficial a holes. Love you Tia Linda
