So today I had 2 presentations (I only knew that I was doing one!!).
The first one was in business class.... I talked about Sam walton. Although... I was kind of ticked off at one of our group members. He pretty much stole the show... and our time. We had about 20 minutes to present 2 US companies, 2 Spanish countries and 2 powerful people. He talked for at least 10 minutes about Corte Ingles - a spanish store like Wal-mart. BAH on him. So when it came to my turn I had to be super quick b/c we were running out of time!!! Ugh.. just thinking about him irks me!
In my other class (economics) -- the one I didn't know we had to present-- we had to talk about mortality rates, immigration, birth rates, and other things from our own country. The first dude to go is from Germany and he had to go up by himself. Then she called my name.... I almost croaked b/c I though I had to go up by myself, but luckily all the students from the USA had to present at the same time. NOBODY had info about this stuff, so we winged it!!!!! I talked about immigration and how it's mainly those from mexico coming in the US. Another girl talked about the baby boom, another about our major cities, and we all put dots on our map that we drew. It was extremely comical!! Go team America! The last group were the Chinese.... they had one spokesperson and he actually had data! haha
After class I went home... did some hw and Skyped Jakester :-D
Next up was dancing! I'm so happy that we get to have dance lessons. It definitely makes this trip more fun! We learned a bit more salsa and then we did a circle dance. Kind of silly.
I had some time to kill before dinner so Annie and I went shopping. It is now the second round of rebajas. So things are marked down more than they were the first time! I bought 4 shirts and a big flower for my hair. (I know Jacob... You'll probably want to borrow it... ) All of that was for 16 Euros... or about $22. Go me!
After dinner I met up with our API group at the residencia before we headed out for the night. Janessa brought one of her friends from school over. His name is ...er. Jordan? Justin? no se. Anyways, he's going to school to be a priest so he was wearing that stellar outfit with kicking shoes (they were sandal made for hiking). I was teaching him some basic salsa moves :-D Definitel
y adding that to my resume!
We hit up El Savor around midnight. This is a salsa dance club. It was of course (like every other bar) filled with American kids. Oh oh oh.. Janessa found a group of students from WWU here! I guess there's about 10 of them. I only met one. But anyways... Here we got to test out our snazzy dance skills! I'm surprised how much the boys retained! It was SOOO much fun! Here's my dance partner. We're pretty much amazing!!
