Exam week = stress + beautiful skies(of course) + so much studying!!! So obviously since it's exam week we've been spending all our "free time" in study groups here and there throughout Denia trying to find the best place with the most concentration available. I'm now halfway through with only 2 more of my 4 exams to go and let me tell you, studying is a lot easier when it is cold, rainy and you're not in Spain. At the moment there is a cloudless, sunny sky and a beautiful beach on the Mediterranean Sea that is just calling my name. Trying to combine the two doesn't work either. I take my notes to the beach every time I've gone, I open them when I first get there and then realize an hour later that I still haven't turned the page. Studying in cafe's doesn't work very well either. TV's with football (soccer) on, creepy men to talk about, distractions all around. With the end approaching very rapidly we also have the distraction of trying to do things and see things that are fun and group oriented. It is a very difficult thing to have exams when you are trying to suck in as much culture and Spain as possible!!! So since it's been such a trial finding a place to study, I've ended up at home or in the UNED (where we have class) studying with others and by myself, trying to forget the distractions for the moment. Thankfully we have several days after exams finish to hang out, take a million pictures with each other and of Denia and go do some last minute shopping at the mercadillo before we head back to the States. :)
