Single digits.

Officially done with classes, hip hip hooray! I've only been looking forward to this for about nine weeks! Not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do with myself for the next nine days, but due to my latest discovery that H&M is heated, I might just camp out there. I think I'm ready to go back to America, where things generally run smoothly and make sense, i.e. where garbage isn't collected at 2 a.m. and where the line between what is a sidewalk and a street is never a blur. I've also come to the realization that Sevilla is the most poorly designed city as far as pedestrian walk signals go. They really need some new civil engineers, maybe we can send Adam out here? For instance, on the way to class I cross a street with two different ped signals. The second signal comes on first (?), followed by the first. So by the time I cross the first part of the street, I have to run across the second to make the light. Yup, your guess is as good as mine. Additionally, on the way to the bus station, the signals come on at the same time. You have about 25 seconds to cross the first part of the street and 10 for the second. 

Side note: I can't wait to never eat chorizo again!
