Day 40- I woke up today at 8:30 am with no problem. I was refreshed and feeling so much better. My host brother asked how I was doing and I replied, "much better!" (Even though my voice sounded gross and I was congested. YUCK!) I do feel a lot better. I quickly did the homework I didn't have time for the night before, made my lunch, ate breakfast and got ready for school. I'm actually pretty proud of myself. I have no idea how I did all that but I did! Classes went well today! Of course, in Marketing I was one of the only people to talk (even though I didn't have enough time to finish reading the case). My friend Kelly and I are the only ones that talk in that class. I think I did pretty well for not reading the case but if I didn't have my laptop there to help me look up info I would have been lost. Although, that might not be totally true because sometimes he was asking questions like, "What's the data value chain?" I have never studied that in my life but I figured that value chain meant the process that something goes through to get value from it; in this case data. Logically, I said, "Data creation, data collection, data analysis, and data applications." I was spot on! I love being smart! :)
Since today was our last lecture, I went up to our guest speaker and thanked him for coming to class. I really meant it. I don't say things like that unless I mean it. He really spiked my interest in Big Data and I even asked him if there was anyway I could intern at his company to see how it functions. I think he was a bit shocked but happy because he was smiling a lot but he told me that his company is too young right now and they're only working on one project. He told me to send him an email though with my resume and he would definitely think of me if they needed anything! Good job Patricia! A few weeks ago, I signed up for a Tandem program, which matches you up with a local student who wants to practice English and you can practice Spanish. I met my partner Silvia yesterday and we went to a cafe and for a walk just talking about random things. She was really nice and very shy about her English. She did well though! She complimented my Spanish so HA MOM AND DAD! NOW YOU CAN'T LAUGH AT ME! ;) After our meeting, I went home to work on my blogs and homework! Day 41 - Today I had Spanish class in the morning and came back to finish writing my blogs and work on homework! You wouldn't think it but writing blogs takes a long time! I also got to FaceTime with Tia Georgette, Tia Valerie and Robert because they're flying in tomorrow and staying for a week! I'm very excited to see them and get my hair product! ;) On Friday, I have an excursion with CIDE to some towns around the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve. Other than that, I don't have plans for the weekend but Robert mentioned that he wanted to visit San Sebastian so we might do that Saturday. I'll keep you updated on the fun activities!
