Well it has been a quiet week, a lot less touring and a sinus cold have kept me pent up inside the apartment... oh what a pleasure. This week is officially the first week of homework, I am so excited (please note my extreme excitement). I really haven't been up to much this week besides researching and working on a fifteen page paper with Ashley (I feel like her new twin as we are pretty much together 24/7, soon she will treat me like her twin Leah). I did however manage to skip a day of school to go do some shopping with the girls which was nice. Nothing like eating croissants, drinking coffee and seeing both Gaudi and Zara in a one block radius, that is every architect fashionistas dream.
To add a little excitement to the week we did however make it out last night to partake in the Barcelona tradition of eating tapas. I have come to the realization that there are two types of tapas; those intended for tourist from North America who like to tip and those in the true Spanish style. Last night I think we tried the latter. Between four of us we shared a couple bottles of wine and an assortment of little goodies. From tuna tartar, to Duck Faguar (I have probably spelled this wrong, in layman's terms this would be duck liver). When in Spain there is plenty of opportunity to step out of your comfort zone when it come to the trial and tribulation of sampling and ordering food, it seems never really know what you are going to get.

On an exciting note Ashley and I just booked some flights to Paris in November. I am going to skip a couple days of class and take in one of my favourite cities in Europe for a few days.
