4th Week of Classes

I can’t believe I’m already on my fourth week of classes! My schedule is all finalized and I’m happy with the classes I’m currently enrolled in. As a matter of fact, I go on my first class trip this coming weekend to El Camino de Santiago. Yesterday was the second day of golf, and I hit like a whole different person (but in a good way). There were not as many of us, so we each had the opportunity of hitting a bucket of balls each. Zach was having problems with his swing so I watched then corrected him. He kept moving his front leg inward and leaning back so I told him to just stand completely still and only swing your arms. Sure enough, it worked like a charm! He was ecstatic and joked by saying, “Jeez now I can go play with Tiger woods!”  The next few consecutive hits he kept hitting well and commenting about how my advice really helped. This made me feel gooooood. Anyways, the weather has been quite cool here. Doesn’t feel like the middle of summer anymore but I’m hoping the warmer weather comes back.  We’ll have to see as the week goes on! Today I went to ifema, which is a global convention center for various worldwide expos such as gifts, fashion, bikes, etc. You name it. I was required to do this for class so I went to the information technology expo called SIMO because a) it’s free,  b) business intelligence is bringing the world together and c) to get a feel for what IT companies have to offer as far as products go. I went with Jen who is in my class and we were by far the youngest people at the convention. HP Intel was the most interesting.  They had a mock science lab set up on one of the tables showing viewers how their ink does not run if it were to come in contact with water. They dissected every piece as to how something like this can be prevented. Then they brought us over to this HP programmed bike which was pretty awesome because it's ranked 2nd in the world as far as moto racing goes. We also entered a raffle to win a new HP laptop! I really hope I win considering they have four different drawings a day. I’ll let you all know if I win or lose. Later tonight I’m going to a Real Madrid soccer game with a bunch of people. Never been to a major league or national league soccer game so this should be fun! Real Madrid is the richest (or worth the most) sports enterprise in the world. Come back to see how the game goes!
