59 degrees and beautiful today

Today was the most beautiful day here thus far. Despite the slight wind, it was 59 degrees (in F for us!). the sun was out, the birds were singing, and life was just...blissful. My classes went fine today, i've been busy preparing/researching for a large research project that me and two other girls will be conducting about immigration in Spain, and how spaniards feel about it. We are working on writing surveys, and then we have to present to our professor. We will interview approx 30 people in Pamplona..15 about the age of 50 and 15 below..so 10 people per girl.
I was able to go for a run in the park this afternoon b/4 lunch, then showered and ate late (about 4 o'clock). Julia made me a salad with bread and then potatos con carne. It was pretty good..mom this was prob the most similiar meal i've had to what you would make.
Then i walked back to the university and had to meet with my professor at 5 to talk about the topic. She gave me some good tips, and then i was in the law building comp labs till 7 or so researching. Let me tell you after all that exercising and walking today, i am tired tonigt. i will sleep good. I haven't been able to sleep this week since i went out on wed. I've just had too many fun things goin on in my mind!
It was fun to visit with Tina and Julia tonight at the Cena. we had tortillas de potata, sopa con pan, and then julia made a special dessert that is tina's favorite..i dont remember the name, but it was like a pudding and had little cookies in it. It didn't taste like vanilla though, and it's not flan. I will ask the name tomorrow and tell you i have to write it down. Then i've just been reading up on Paris tonight, and have enjoyed talking with friends. Tomorrow will be fun.
i will tutor the little girls next door since i will be gone this week, and then i will meet up with Kristen to work on our paris itinerary. we are just familiarizing ourselves with the metros/free tours, what we want to pack etc.
I'm excited b/c my friend will be back from Madrid tomorrow night so then we will go out/hang. I will work with Maja on the project in the evening b/4 this.
Life is good :) i can't complain...and there are so many possibilities for life that are presenting themselves. It's so amazing.
All my love always,
Lauren
