The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good:
-I've been sent a package by my parents that arrived while I was away in the whirlwind adventure to Madrid, Germany and Barcelona. I got two issues of Discover, one National Geographic, Swedish fish and tootsie rolls.. I don't even like tootsie rolls?
-Four day school weeks are so ridiculously amazing. What is College of Charleston doing wrong?
-It was 19 C today!! To bad I had the chills (soon to be explained in "The Bad" or "The Ugly" - I haven't decided.
-None of my classes were canceled today - and my Cultura Islamica en Espana and Practica Oral y Escrito looks extremely promising (he's already planned days for us to "dar un paseo" around Granada, Get Churros (Interestingly enough [supersidenote] churros in Catalan is Xurros), and then get tapas... during class time. Ballin'.
-We have to leave for Semana Santa, Places actually doable include: Romania (the cheapest option, but so weird and sooo post communist), Sardinia (and maybe Corsica!), Venice or Rome andddd finally Lisbon. Any suggestions?

The Bad:
-Paying 40 Euro for a doctors appointment to hear what I had already diagnosed myself (i.e. a viral infection).
-Actually giving in to going to the doctor to buy what I could have on my own. And now having my senora dance around me and my bruised ego saying "Te dije! Ahora sabes que es mejor a escuchar a tus mayores!!" My pride is wilting at an alarming rate.
-Not being able to combat my senoras anti-American slurs and I told you so's to the best of my ability is really getting to me. By April I'm making it a goal to practice my debate skillsz.

The Ugly:
-If it looks like EmergenC, smells like EmergenC and vaguely tastes like a Spanish knock-off of EmergenC would.. it probably acts the exact same way AS emergency. Especially if they advise that you take 4 packets a day. A day. If you catch my drift.
