Barcelona, plus a note on re-entry

Hey loves,
Tommorrow is my 1 week aniversary in Barcelona. It is going well. I just returned from a 4 hour supposed english/catalan language exchange in which I asked four questions about Catalan and my fellow language exchanger spoke for 3.5 hours about the propper way to deal with "race relations in the United States", but anyway, I now have 4 frases in Catalan that I plan to use throughout the week...

Yesterday I went to the beach, and Friday I went to a Ben Harper concert with a friend who works for an online music magazine. We got to go to the concert with free press passes, but I had to be the photographer... so I had a foto pass, and I took fotos of ben harper from a pit in front with people who had bigger lenses than me. It was awesome.
In Barcelona I live in a dirty old flat, in a great location, with a slovakian, a brasilian, and 2 italians... we speak a beautiful mix of languages that makes Laura want to learn Italian.

I also write with further clarity about my future. I just found out through e-mail that the Watson Fellowship Conference is scheduled to take place at Scripps College, located in Claremont, California, from Thursday, August 2 to Sunday, August 5, 2007.
Maybe some people should blog about when they are getting married... I hope it´s not the same weekend.
