midterms?

Yes, midterms. Which means the mid of the term. Which means that these weeks have been even more fleeting than I could have ever imagined. What a glorious thing that our exams come during the same time as ND's fall break. I have told myself I will try to get some work done this weekend while my friends are here, but let's be honest. This is me. Given the chance between an awesome weekend taking Madrid by storm with some friends or hibernating in a lonely library with my head stuck in a book, I think you all know what I actually I plan on doing. I have been getting a lot of stuff done this week, don't get me wrong. I just feel like when I sit in here in a library like I am right now I am missing out on real life out there. 

Unrelated, but when I start hunkering down and studying, there is nothing better for me than coffee. And lots of it. So you can understand my frustration with not being able to get café para llevar ANYWHERE in Spain except for the touristy Starbucks in big cities. Coffee on the run simply is not something they do here. I think I am starting to get the Spanish mindset, though. What's the hurry? Sit down, enjoy yourself. Honestly, sometimes I feel like I am in such a hurry to get somewhere or do something that I am forget to take it all in. And trust me, there's a lot to take in here. 

Would anyone like to fill out internship applications for me?
