Cádiz, and..."Where'd I put my green wig from last year?"

Oh yeah, it fell on a dirty Logroño bar floor and a drunken dude stole it. Damn. I want it back. Beer/Sweat stink and all.

Wow...I've actually got a bit of time to write in this thing right now? The past 3 nights have been spent correcting exams and whatnots...so here goes. I still have 57 report cards to cover this weekend. Fun times ahead, indeed.
So Cádiz was beautiful. Very small overall, but simply magnificent. Mercedes, her boyfriend Juan, Donna and I all had a great time and were able to relax a lot (although some people just cannot walk for more than 10 minutes sometimes...ahem.) Here's the cathedral...which was located super close to our great hostel "Fantoni".






Hmmmm. Seafood is just amazing in Spain, especially in Huelva and along the coasts (d-uh). I never really used to eat seafood in Canada, but I've grown to love it a lot here. Nothing like skinning prawns and scraping out oyster meat! This fine dish cost about 7 euros...about 10 canadian bucks, I believe.







Donna, me and Mercedes in front of the theatre in Cádiz. It was much bigger than the one we have in Huelva. We were pretty lucky with the weather (but heck, this is Spain...there are far more sunny days than anything else) and it was roasting hot on Saturday...I think we had about 26-27 degrees at one point. I'll repeat myself: I shall die in Canada.








Me and Donna acting like a couple of twits in front of a church. I purposely downsized the pic so as not to make you all turn to stone from our medusa-like grimaces.








Tee-hee, how cute. It's a wee lil boat made out of metal...wish I could have somehow twisted it off its pole...then I could have put it on my head and told people I was Poseidon, directing Odysseus to doom and gloom. Yeah, I'm pathetic...I still haven't finished The Odyssey because of my workload, alright?

This was my hostel. I'm a queen. Pfffff, yeah right. I'm not too sure what the heck this was, but it was located close to La Caleta, where there was a nice pathway that led up to a castle (which was unfortunately closed off to locals and tourists...heaven knows why).

I could have sat there all day, it was so nice and relaxing...the sea, the breeze, the waves...we really don't need a lot to be happy in life. I miss nature. I couldn't stop smiling.

I went bonkers when I saw this little Harry Potter carousel in a kiddy park. Not only was the park GORGEOUS, but it had Professor Snape's image in it, too. By far my fave character, he possesses a ruthless and cunning wit, is rarely caught off guard by any comment or insult and often leaves his verbal combatants with little to say.

Oh Alan Rickman, I don't know why I love thee so much. Or perhaps I do?


In other news, there isn't any news. All I've been doing is working my ass off and trying to get everything finished on time. I didn't even think I'd be able to update my blog until next week, but surprise surprise, you all got lucky.

I guess when it rains, it really does pour. Just so much to do.

2 out of my 17 "English Alive" students failed their last exam and I have to give them a make up exam...pffff. WTF. Everybody else got between 80-90% (seriously...we fricking revised everything and I told them exactly what they needed to study) the other 2 should have just studied more. More work for me, and for what?

I've been miss cranky pants for the past few days, considering the mountain of work I'm expected to do for the next few days. The good news is that when this weekend will be over it'll be a bit more smooth sailing up ahead...(I hope). Shane's also coming on Thursday, so that is also considerably lightening my mood.

I swore to myself to go out tomorrow night for St. Patty's Day, regardless of how much work there is to do. I'll just get up early enough in time to go out and meet up with my friends at an Irish Pub (gotta love Irish Pubs that advertise:"The Autentic Irish Sperience"...I shit you not).

Tomorrow is Bono's birthday...I better make sure to call him.

I don't know when I'll have time to post again...perhaps during the week when Shane's in Morocco.

Oh, and I'm still deeply jealous of Eve's The Shins concert happening TOMORROW. Argh (shakes fist). It was all me, baby.
