D.O.N.E.

Session 1 of school is officially over. I just took my final exam and it was actually really hard...but I didn't study that much. Probably not what my family wants to hear, but I only need a 50 to pass and it transfers back to A&M as pass only, not a grade. The grading scale is very different here, and the whole exam is out of 10 points. I got a 7,10 out of 10 on the midterm, whatever that means. On my grade conversion chart it says I got a B, so that's cool. Anyway, I liked my class but I can't honestly say I'll miss it. I'm ready for new people to come for session 2 and have new classes. I'm taking Art and Cinema next time, which is a whole lot more interesting to me than grammar and language. Plus, we found out classes are a lot shorter. This time was 9am-2pm M-F, and next time it's only 10:45-2:15 M-F. And Becca and I are in the same classes this time, too.
Well, our flight leaves tonight at 10:30 but it's out of Girona airport, 1 hr 15 min away. We plan to leave our apartment at around 6:15, grab the bus to Estacio Nord bus station to the airport, where we should arrive around 8. Our flight boards at 10:05pm and we get to Pisa, Italy at almost midnight. Sam is going to meet us there and then we have a hostel for the night. Tomorrow we will go see the leaning tower, have lunch, and get on a train to Rome. Erin is flying from Bcn to meet us in Rome on Friday, and my other friend Will is flying in from London on Saturday. We are hoping to go to the beach at Sorrento on Sunday, but we'll see what we feel like doing. Yesterday morning I booked another flight (definitely the last trip I can afford) to go to Sardinia with Sam. It's a beach on the Italian coast and it looks pretty incredible from what I can tell on Google images. The family he is staying with have a house there and they are letting us stay there. I'm flying in Friday night, July 8, and staying until Monday July 11th. He'll be staying there and flying into Barcelona July 14th so we can show him around the city. :)
Anyway, done with session 1 of school and it feels good! Only 1 month and one week left of my summer in Spain. And so much left to do!
Mom--talked to Marla Tonsi a little bit on Facebook and told her about my trip. She told me to tell you and Dad hi for her.
