Hit the books... and the cafes...

It's been a crazy week of studying filled with all this:

-an essay on internet sales and marketing
-an essay on The Spanish Brand 
-a presentation on Spain's vs. the United State's healthcare system
-an exam on everything we learned this week! 
   
I guess they don't call it intensive for nothing!

Something I forgot to mention (mainly directed towards my co-workers back at the advising office) -- one day in class we discussed resumes and cover letters and it was fun to learn how to say everything in Spanish! However, they do resumes a little, actually a lot, different here in Spain. So, when I volunteered to answer questions (that I definitely knew the answer to after an entire semester of training and advising), she told me I was wrong. So, now I understand the differences between the Spanish and American resumes!  For example, they don't use reverse chronological order. Shout out to all my fellow career advisors back at the advising office in Grainger hall! I'm having a great time being diverse in Spain and look forward to coming back and being able to review Spanish resumes...even though that will probably never happen. Miss you all!

They still haven't given us a wi-fi code at the business school, so I'm unable to study there...that would be a serious #GraingerProblem back in Wisco (Not sure how we would solve that one Mel)! My apartment has wi-fi but it's also freezing and if I try to study in my bed, I will most definitely fall asleep! Therefore, the only place I can get wi-fi is at cafes, however, you can't go to a cafe and just use the wifi, you have to buy something... check out the pictures to see what I treated myself to today!

On my way from class at the business school to El Centro to study-- I stopped and sat on a bench by this lovely fountain so I could eat my PB&BANANA sandwich!
