That Time of the Year (written a couple weeks ago)

Even though I'm not in Canada, I can still feel that feeling that always comes around this time of the year.  It's stressfuk and usually entails limitied to no sleep - it's the end of the semester.  I hate this time of the year with a passion, I can't wait until it is over!  It has probably been the worst one yet.  It has been extra stressful juggling two schools in two different languages and continents.  I've never ever failed before but I still panic that I might every year.  Having classes in Spanish has been hard and it uses up a ot more time and effort.  So with courses and wrapping up at home (reports and exams galore) and trying to understand what is going on here, it has been anything but fun.  But!  I know it will be over soon and then it will be time to breathe and relax!

So, because of "that time of the year"  I haven't been up to a whole lot this last couple of weeks.  Semana Santa is cming up very soon and I'm really looking forward to it.  Apparently it is a huge deal in Spain, and it is one of the most important times of the year in regards to culture, religion, and festivals.  It last for about two weeks - a week before 'easter week' and the whole week of easter.  I've looked at pictures of the festivals on the internet and I'm really excited to get to see it in person.  I think it will be an awesome experience, and by the time it gets here the semester will be over and I will have a little more spare time to be able to enjoy it!
