eh-rrray

I am going to learn how to roll my r's. I just am. Last night Vicky was teaching me how, and she said I did it. I didn't hear myself do it, but it's a start. The point is that other people hear it, right?

also, in a newspaper here yesterday there was an article concerning Bush's IQ. Lowest of any president, ever. Just on the border of "normal". Highest IQ? Clinton, of course. Also, democrats had a higher average, of almost 20 points (I think), than republicans.

One more thing I find funny, there's a big stir in the Catholic world right now because this guy just came out with a book of pornographic photos involving relgious figures. Oral sex with the Virgin, Jesus with an erection. This type of thing.

fotos and accomplishments

Well, this weekend we had an excursión a Extremadura, another region of Spain. It was a whirlwind trip of 4 cities in 2.5 days, complete with windy mountain passes in a bus that left me wishing for more drammamine. The big news of the weekend, for me at least, was that I made a pact with myself and some other chicas to only speak Spanish for the entire weekend (yes, like we're supposed to be doing but it never happens). And I did it! And I feel good. Because I have been feeling like my Spanish hasn't been improving as much as it should. So that was nice.

Another plus: I took a bunch of pictures. Here are links to the albums:
