Hola Espania!

Our vacation officially starts today! I know there haven't been a lot of post as of late, but there really isn't much going on right now. The past few weeks have been rather boring with several nights out with the girls or sneaky trips (that weren't very secret) to Starbucks during work. There wasn't really too much to do as the last day got closer and closer. In fact, today I turned in all of my stuff for the two weeks after we come back, but I turned it in right when I got into work, so I spent the whole day watching downloaded shows on my computer with a short trip to Carrfour with Erin to grab some Starbucks. I wasn't slacking for you that are worried, I was just prepared and done early.

I won't be available for the next week or so since I am not bringing my computer to Spain. We're staying with Erin's cousin, but I don't plan on using the internet a lot. Feel free to email me, I'll respond when I get back.

I also have to share a quick story. One of the kids I tutor, Mohamed, and I were talking yesterday about my short vacation. He asked me if I was going to the States for my vacation, which led him to mentioning that in a few years he is going to go to University in the States. His dad has recently been looking into what the best University for him to go to is by asking friends or colleagues. Mohamed asked me what I thought the best University was, which made me pause because he didn't understand the sheer volume of choices. Before I could answer, he said "My dad heard that University of Michigan is the best. Is that true?", and I couldn't help but answer, "No, of course not" while making a face of disgust at him. I tried to explain rivalries to him, but I'm not sure that he understood what I was trying to explain to him.
But the point is Dad, I did you proud.
