What a wierd thing to see, the Barcelona and Athletic fans jeering the Spanish National anthem at the Copa Del Rey final, what a uproar this has created, with the sport director from Televisión Espanola being sacked, what is the big deal?
Why should the fans have to listen to an anthem that does not represent them????

The end of an era,
This week I have my final two exams which I guess brings along with them the end of my stay in Liverpool. Looking back it hardly seems like two minutes ago that I was a bit of a nervous wreck as I arrived at flat 54, Atlantic Point eagerly anticipating meeting my new flatmates... and now we move forward to 2009, a different flat in a different location, so many things have come and gone, people, friends, errors commited in Spanish, my writing style has improved (I hope so anyway...). We have been advised to store our old coursework as you never know when you might need it, and began reading one of my old pieces of work from the first few weeks of First year. It went something like this; "y si queramos salir poderemos" and from there I have come a long way...
First exam on Monday which is Language and Power followed by Spanish Applied Language III on Thursday. From 12 'o clock on Thursday my undergraduate studies will have finished.
Other good news, I pulled of a 2.1 for my dissertation which I was rather worried out, was really suprised how much I got into the project and really enjoyed writing it.
Back to revision... Carpe fucking diem!!

And we are back
I have decided to carry on writing my blog, I will update a lot more now that exams are almost done with.
It is a strange time at the minute, exams are here, people are revising (or trying too...), but the social scene also seems to be immense (maybe too much...I guess time will tell). A lot going on and people realising that we will REALLY finish Uni in less than 2 weeks. It is also a bit surreal. I had "la mujer" on Friday which I nailed I reckon, questions were a lot better than I expected and after having got a 1st in the presentation I reckon a 2.1 is certainly on the cards, which I will be pleased as punch about! Lang and Power, Translation and Spanish Applied Language on the 14th and then, c'est fini!!
Thinking back to this time last year I was in Salamanca with not a care in the world, but I am just as happy now living down my final moments in Liverpool as what I was there. Liverpool is an awesome city, despite some dodgy areas, but hey there is some of them everywhere... even in Salamanca!
