El resumen de Febrero

I enjoyed February and March. On the first weekend of February, I went back to Ponteareas to go to another friend's birthday party. There were around 30 people and we did stuff and videogames. (Mostly FIFA and Call of Duty) We had a good time, although I barely slept. It was hard to sleep since my friends put water in my ears and shaving cream in my hair when I was asleep because I was snoring really loud.

The next day, all my friends had soccer games. I went to see it and they won 7-1. I don't understand because many of them didn't sleep at all, and didn't even eat breakfast, yet they still ran really fast and played well.

And after that, we went to a type of restaurant called "Furancho" which is typical in Galicia. It's not that different from a normal restaurant, just a little bit more antique. Out of the whole restaurant, I'm sure we were the craziest. 

Just like always, we go to fiestas after dinner!

En La Boheme

My friends with Henry Mendez, a famous singer from the Dominican Republic

On Monday I went to my host mom's book presentation. She presented her new book at the Casa de Libros in Vigo, an important chain book store in Spain. The presentation I went to wasn't as big or important but was interesting.

Lamprey! It looks disgusting but it's not bad. (They cook the lamprey in its own blood)

Sete Caveiras/Siete Calaveras

Number 2 best selling Galician book in the Casa del Libro (Vigo)

On February 15th, we had our fourth orientacion. This time, we combined our orientacion with students from Asturias and Leon. It was in Lugo, a city 2 and a half ours away from where I live. We did the same things as usual, talk about our life in Spain, our challenges, and stereotypes and some games. At night, we went around Lugo for a paseo.

Brief Translation: A group of students from various countries from Europe, Asia, United States, and Canada who are participating in an exchange program with students from Galicia, Asturias, and El Bierzo, attended a sponsored visit by AFS Interculture. This organization was created in the United States after WWI to promote educative exchange programs for young people of different nationalities, with the goal to follow a better understanding and respect between different cultures, explained by the coordinator in Galicia, Luis Gonzalez Dopaz, who also added that one of the first AFS Spain students was Eduard Punset.

At the end of February, we took pictures for our graduation photos. Every year, the graduation pictures are placed in the school halls.

Clase de Filosofia

I also had the chance to go on a fieldtrip to a fish factory that was a 5 minute drive from my school. It wasn't very exciting, but oh well, it's better than nothing. At least it is one of the main frozen seafood manufacturers in Europe....
