Day 24-27- Everything Inbetween

Because it is our last week in Madrid, things are crazy.
Everything is due, oral exams and final exams are at the end of this week, and we are trying to fit in all the excursions that we haven't gotten a chance to do.

Since, it has been so crazy, I have not been blogging regularly. Boo.
I hate it because it makes me feel unorganized.
At least I'm getting to it now, right?

So, Monday and Tuesday, Ashley and I have been trying to go to all of the places that we have meant to go to in Madrid and just have not gotten around to it.
We went to the famous Puerta de Europa in downtown Madrid and to the Real Madrid stadium.
It was beautiful. And thankfully the weather decided to cooperate with us- it was sunny and somewhere in the 60's, which is warm considering how cold it has been in Madrid lately.
We are looking for the hot weather and sunshine during our tour south.

Also, we took a tour of the Palacio Real (the Royal Palace) in Madrid.
We weren't allowed to take pictures inside, but I did get some while we were out in the patio.

I have been studying and we also went to our last play for our theater class. 
I finished my paper today. I will revise it and send it in tomorrow.
Hallelujah. 400 level Lit class can be checked off my list.

We also went out again for chocolate and churros. YUM!
I'm going to miss those!
