Oh, just another note. Last weekend, Blanca (the Spanish TA from Barcelona) came and hung out with us Friday night. She, Camille, Shannon, anD I went to Jamboree, which was awesome and filled with lovely cultural stuff that I actually miss. Then we sat around and played cards and then talked till about 3:30 am. As Blanca was leaving, she didn't realize what time it was and was absolutely shocked that she had stayed that long. It was rather hilarious. It was really interesting though, because we went from talking about Spanish government and history (transition from Franco to democracy), comparing it to American government, then a serious discussion about religion, where it was very interesting to see different viewpoints (Blanca who went to Catholic school in Spain, Ethan, whose father is an Episcopal minister, and Jesse, who's Jewish), and then that moved to Santa Claus and traumatic childhood moments. Blanca's sisters are apparently very abusive. They blame everything on her. I love Blanca. I wish the TAs wouldn't have to leave next year. :(
