Revolutions in the Arab world!
Well, as I live in a country with plenty of Arabic heritage and plenty of muslim inmigrants from countries such as Morocco (25% of my hometown citizens are from Morocco or descendants of Moroccan people) I'm very pleased with all the events in Tunis, Egypt and now Bahrein and Lybia (despite that some blood is being spilled ( Read more... ) -
Tubed!
I finally got my visit to the Gastric specialist about my anemia. She was a nice middle-aged woman who poked my anus (I have a fistula there which will have to be taken care of) and decided that, since nothing explains why someone presumably healthy as me is anemic, I'm going to get two tubes inserterted at both ends of my digestive tract. That is ( Read more... ) -
Found this beauty on the streets
I know that the Renault 5 (aka known as LeCar in North America) has no love across the pond, but we love them here. At the time (late 70s), they were the most competent city car. There was a version, called "Copa" which was sold in Spain as their premium sport version.

I was born in 1975 and that year, the car that was chosen the "Best car in Spain" by ABC newspaper was the Simca 1200, known elsewhere as the Simca 1100 or the Simca 1204.

Exams and weekend recap
I sent a small picture using an LJ app for my Android phone from Girona. I was there because I took "another" English exam there. As you might know or not, I'm seriously considering changing my career to teaching. In ordre to do that, and thanks to the stupid academic reforms here, I have to study another Masters degree which requires a specific ( Read more... ) -
For fans of statistics
Just for the record, Spain's rate of marriage between two spouses of the same sex is 2.5%. This means, for each 1000 marriages celebrated in Spain in 2010, 25 were gay or lesbian. Further more, 62.9% of those marriages had male spouses and the other 37.1% were female

Having survived
Having survived all the exams (the other two remaining were just validation tests), I'm thinking what to study next semester. I haven't got any choices but to study some credits first or later. I only have 6 left plus the Pre-Thesis and the final Thesis (No real thesis, just a "Treball de Final de Carrera"). Here's the list, together with other ( Read more... )
