Elections, new travel plans, etc.

Well last night I made a valiant effort to stay up all night and watch the election results (which came in from midnight to 5am my time) but I it failed when my responsible side took precedence (a rare occurance, I must say) and I decided to get some sleep before my 10am class this morning.

I was, however, very pleased to see this morning that not only did Obama win, but he won big. But you already knew that. After class, I came back to watch both of the speeches online. Bravo! I am interested to see who Obama appoints to his cabinet too.

Here are some of the things I have coming up:

This afternoon I made arrangements to travel to France and the Netherlands with two other students, Josh and Matt. We will fly to Paris on Thursday November 20, take a bullet train to Amsterdam on Saturday, and fly back to Barcelona on Monday November 24. I think it should be a fun time, and a chance to see two new countries I have never been to before!

This afternoon a group of us are going to buy tickets for the FC Barcelona home game on the 8th. I am also looking forward to this.

And finally, my host family is taking me along with them to go up into the mountains on Sunday and hike around and search for wild mushrooms.
