Navarre

This past weekend we had a mandatory "study trip" to the Basque Country, named Navarre. It was surprisingly a really good time. It didn't start off well however because directly behind Linda and I at 8:00 in the morning....there was this girl who is to be referred to as "drunk girl" for the remainder of the weekend by everyone on our bus because of her drunk yelling at 8 in the morning. But, moving on. After our 6-7 hour bus ride (I don't remember, I was asleep) we stopped in Olite where it was snowing, cold, raining, and high velocity winds. The castle was still pretty and I met some cool people, 2 of which were from TEXAS! We bonded because everyone on our trip was complaining about everything. But, we got to our Hotel....it was called Hotel ABBA! HOW EXCITING! I stole a lot of amenities. 

Day 2: We went to a winery and got some wine out of a vending machine. It was delicious! We then explored a monastery, a church, and a castle. It was good times. Later, me and some of the girls had a heart to heart in our hotel room.

Day 3: We explored Pamplona, where our hotel was, and saw the route the bulls run during Running of the Bulls and the bull fighting arena. If you don't know what happens to the bulls after they run...don't read on. THEY KILL THE BULLS! what? Why? It's pretty terrible. So, then we got on the bus watched Penelope Cruz's first movie...strange Jamon Jamon. and TITANTIC. I haven't seen the whole movie in such a long time. I cried a little. 

But, I took my last of my midterms today and then made dinner and started doing some work about Law School, LSAT, and what I'm doing this summer. 

Maddy and Lauren are visiting in two weeks!!!! I'm so excited!
