Last week was filled with a lot of fun! First, on Tuesday I went to the Prado with my Art History professor and then she took us out for tapas to celebrate the end of the year. She is by far one of my favorite professors and I will try to keep in contact with her after this semester. Wednesday was Anna's birthday, so we celebrated accordingly! First, we had donuts for breakfast. Such a nice break from toast and...well, toast. Then for lunch, we went to McDonald's and joyously ate our Big Macs at Retiro Park! That night we met up with a lot of our friends to celebrate. It was so much fun!

Thursday night we continued the celebration with more friends. Friday I watched the Royal Wedding (loved the dress), then on Friday night Alejandra and Marlene decided to continue the birthday celebration with us!
All of Gabby and Ro's girls!
Grandma and Ralph arrived in Madrid on Friday night, and I met up with them in Sol at 12 on Saturday. They had a little trouble finding our meeting spot, but I had a lot of fun showing them around Madrid and hearing about their adventures. We went to the Royal Palace and took a tour. On Sunday I met up with them again at 3:00. Unfortunately, the bus tour that they were on had a little accident. So they weren't able to see a lot before I met up with them! But we had a great afternoon and found a couple different tapas bars that were really delicious. I hope they had a fun time in Madrid. It was great for me to have more family visit.

Today I woke up to the news that Osama bin Laden has been killed. I am so thankful to our troops! Then I finally finished my Later Shakespeare research paper...it is worth 40% of my grade so please wish me luck. I will have lots of studying to do this week for finals, but I have lots of time to do it. Tomorrow is my very last day of classes before finals. It is amazing to me how quickly time is flying by.
