"Señora, estoy aqui"

Every Wednesday or Monday morning, I fear the cleaning ladies are going to slam on my door. Little do they know the noise resonates throughout my room like an earthquake. I swear one day I´m going to have a heart attack....

As expected, this morning an atomic bomb went off at around 10 am. Clearly disoriented but still cognizant, i screamed back "Señora, estoy aqui, dentro de la habitación." In English...."Lady, I´m here inside the room." I slept for another three minutes.....BOOM!!! BOOM!!!  My voice more irritated, "Señora, estoy en la habitación!" I was officially awake...that´s for sure. I got out of bed, stood up, stretched, cracked my back. I´m simply standing in my room, throwing the extra clothes on the floor in the laundry which I havn´t done for about a month now, and my body shakes again. BOOM BOOM BOOM. "Señora, estoy aqui" I guess, that wasn´t good enough for her. She continues to open the door to find me standing there in my underwear. I was about to shower and was in the process of taking them off.....I've never seen a door close quicker than it opened. I guess she hadn't seen a set of 2 pack-abs as nice as mine.

Tomorrow I have an Art and Artists paper due about Joan Miro and one of his works. Then, I have a game against University of Barcelona in the afternoon. Wednesday, I have a class presentation about two Spanish poems written in the 1940s...at least I'm interested in these areas of study, not.

On Sunday, I went to Montserrat this weekend with my friend Alexa's parents, Emily Nikkel and her mother, and Amanda Gadaleta. It was arguably the most beautiful site I've seen in Spain. Millions of years ago, water carved through this 5,000 foot, completey vertical mountain to created some of the most  extraordinary images known today. Atop the mountain there is a beautiful monastery on which people make daily religious pilgrimages. Here's a pic.....until next time, peace
