Tonight, myself, Megan, Paul, Elana, and Ana went to a Barcelona Futbol game! It was so much fun. We were in the nosebleed section, but were sitting by a group of really dedicated fans so we cheered and chanted with them. The experience was exciting. They even did the wave, and it went around the stadium almost 3 times! You can't get that to happen at the Royals stadium anymore...Barcelonians love their futbol and cheered up a storm. Plus, instead of booing or hissing, they whistle when something bad happens. Megan and I had our scarves and waved them around when Barca scored (Final score:2-0), but it was also very cold so I'm glad we had them.
Other thoughts for the week:
Every time I go to class, I realize how easy classes will turn out being this semester. I only got my first real piece of homework this week, a 5-6 page essay. In my two science classes, maybe it is the fact that I am a biology major and 3/4 of the class has no science background. I revealed myself as the nerd/teacher's pet in Oceanography when I explained the results of a paper that NO ONE understood..I can't help it that the paper was about the exact same concepts my jewell research is about! But now the teacher looks at me for answers when the rest of the class has blank stares. I better get some brownie points for my sacrifice! But the other reason I feel as though classes will be no challenge is because for two of them, we spend the first hour of the 1 1/2 hour long class asking questions about the reading and not learning anything new on the powerpoints he prepared. And in one class, the big paper/presentation I was worried about-well it's a whole class effort so each person writes a total of maybe 3 pages. Piece of cake. Oh well, I won't complain; I could use a relaxing semester for once. I'm still learning interesting things.
Here are some quotes from the professor of both my science classes, Xavier de Pedro. He makes class worth it with his fun, comparisons. I've already mentioned the one about squid and cake..
"Diatoms are like boxes of shoes. That sink."
Speaking about Sea Urchins "They are like cows but in the water."
