the heat

my poor computer is seeing the end of its days..... its been overheating because the vent/fan is broke so i dont know what im going to be doing about that! i can use it for 20 min or so before it reaches 100 degrees (i downloaded this program to tell me) and it shuts off, its so sad, i cant do too much on it like research because it overworks itself. :(

soooo thats why im at school today, a friday, so that i can use the stupid computers here in the library. before i sat down i went to the famous sandwich shop a little off campus ("eat well for cheap!"). ive got 2 favorite sammies, ill share:
chapata bread with barbecue sauce, chicken, lettuce, and onion and mozzarela, and the other, which i just created, is hard boiled egg, avocado, corn, marinated red peppers, salt and pepper. delish! and its cheap. 3 €!

i need to write another 7 pager (just finished one for history on the catholic monarchs, ferdinand and isabella) and now ive gotta write up an analasis of some random short story by this author. luckily jeannie sent me the link so i dont have to buy the book... its all online! fantastico. it stinks to sit down for too long... i dont konw if ive got allergies or what, but my nose is DYINGG i can barely breathe.

im dooone with classes, and minus the whole "exam " part, im really happy. the weather the past two dys has been GORGEOUS, like, 85 degrees and sunny. weeeeird i only have 7 more days left living with concha :( i am going to miss them so much...... that means i have to pack up everythinggggggg for next saturday cause AYA is meeting at patricias for a farewell paella and jeannie and i are leaving our big suitcases with her, and then after that we are going directly to the train to go to barcelona!! wow, im so excited, but freaked out that ive got not time left in madrid. not faiiiiiirrrrrr
