Wow...my life, compared to this lively update on yours, seems somewhat unlived and bland.
Maura sounds and looks like someone who I would hate and love for refutting any of my arguments.
I have found myself in a bit of a dilemma, time-wise I think, about colleges and such. I want to study in Spain; but everything seems so complicated, I was just reading up on the 'Selectividad' exam thing and it was very confusing. I'm sorry I'm venting here; I applied to Navarra before I met you and knew about this Opus Dei business, which my parents have no problem with but I would feel somewhat suffocated by it. I've been looking online for Universities in Madrid and have found a couple but I wanted to know which is the one that you are attending and any other valuable information that you could share with me on here, thank you thank you thank you =] -Greta
but it really can be a bit dreary sometimes, being a pseudo-remote provincial capital, and Spain is still very 19th century in that the provinces continue to be sleepy and slightly isolated, I visited my friend in a town called Bell-Lloc in Catalunya during the winter and it was essentially, what you described. There was no one outside on Sundays, nothing was open and everything closed around 4; but it was cozy nonetheless.
Ok, so the first thing I'm gonna do now is sign up for the Selectividad, I'm going to be taking the humanities-related subjects for sure and your notes would be very much appreciated =) I'm going to look into both of these schools; thank you soso much Aitor
Awesome; I'll send you the info right now and I'll talk to my little brother today so that I can coordinate between you two and you can pass by and pick up the notes.
Oh, and yeah, that's totally what Pamplona is like. The Casco Viejo is absolutely beautiful but, alas, quite small; even having had the enormous good fortune to have lived in the center of it, you basically had to enter the newer parts of the city in order to do basic food-shopping and going to class, and the new parts are absolutely ghastly, pseudo-Stalinesque buildings, so not particularly beautiful stuff. It has some stunning countryside in the vicinity, but being that you would probably not have a car with which to wander about, the weather kind of ruins things - it's sunny more than it snows, but it rains more than it's sunny, so you're indoors alot
