I don't think I would have done well on that test if it was in English...so the fact that it was in Spanish made it even more difficult. Talking about taxes, the Spanish economy, and the unemployment crisis isn't easy in any language. I struggled in Econ at UW-Madison, so I figured this wouldn't go so well. My friends also thought the exam was difficult, so hopefully there will be a generous curve to help us all.
To celebrate finishing the exam, I went to get lunch with two of my friends. We went to a little chain restaurant around here called Cien Monteditos, which means 100 little sandwiches. They have 100 combinations of different sandwiches, most of them involve meat, but I was able to find some veggie ones! And they are all ONE EURO! So I had two little sandwiches and some gelato to celebrate being half-way done with this Spanish class.
Virginia made an amazing dinner tonight. She made me artichoke hearts sauteed in olive oil and garlic with pasta. It was one of the best meals I've had here.
I spent the rest of my night exploring the Sevillan nightlife and becoming more acquainted with the bar scene. I still cannot believe how late people stay out here. They are up wayyyyyy past my bedtime. I cannot keep up with these crazy spaniards!

Eating at Cien Monteditos-- look at how cute and tiny the sandwiches are!
The most wonderful dinner from Virginia!
