Now the death count is steadily approaching 200 and the injuries are over 1,500. I am sure the numbers will keep climbing. As with September 11, we have all been glued to the TV all day and cannot stop thinking about this horrible occurrence. Now Al-Qaeda links have taken responsibility for the events. That is even worse! Many of the FSU students ( Read more... )

Newest update...173 dead, 711 hurt. One train went to the University´s main campus, another took parents away from a nursery as they dropped off their children. Why do things like this happen?

Just so that none of you freak out about what I said earlier, I will clarify the situation. As of now, the death count is at 131 and injuries of 400. I am sure the number will increase as the day goes on. What happened in Madrid is nothing that should concern any of you with me. The act was an act of terrorism by a separatist group seeking a ( Read more... )

3 bombs in trains in Madrid this morning. 62 people dead, 350 hurt. This is a sad time to be in Spain. Keep everyone here in your thoughts and prayers. That´s all I have to say for today...

I realize that not everyone who reads my journal speaks Spanish (although most of you do), these will definitely lose meaning in translation, so I can´t really translate any of them. I apologize in advance for any typographical and spelling errors, as I got these from an 8 year old, some of whose spelling I know is incorrect. I´ll do my best ( Read more... )

For once I received good news to top off this day. I got a letter from Maryland and they are HOOKING me up. In addition to the tuition, I am receiving a hefty stipend! Also, I got into Washington!!!! That is my second choice and a VERY good program as well. I feel so great right now. It's too bad I have class tomorrow, or I would be getting ( Read more... )

Today at my internship I had the funniest experience with my little kids. When I saw them, they all ran up to hug me and hang all over me, and then asked, "Como esta Bisbal?" They talked about him all night, and now I am officially "La novia de Bisbal." I suppose it is better than "Sabrina La Bruja". When we had our "descanso", Ignasi left me with ( Read more... )

I have 20 minutes left in the lab, and to cure my boredom I thought this looked like a fun quiz.

Your Candy Heart Is "BE MINE"

You've got your eye on someone, that's for sure

And you're hoping for a little spark to erupt

Make it happen on Valentine's day by going from friendly to flirty

Or if you're shy, at least play Secret Admirer

What Candy ( Read more... )

I´m tired, bored, and stinky. As if I have not written enough today, I thought I would add to it to explain why. I am working in the lab for another three hours, but before I got here, I went for a nice run to the beach with Frenchie. When we got to the beach, we heard some hippies playing their djembes and saw many people kicking soccer balls, ( Read more... )
