This week we have been continuing our studies at the University.  We have been busy keeping up with notes and homework and trying to improve our Spanish!  We have made it half way through classes! Also, since we have started classes we have not had to go to a full week of classes because each week there has been at least one cancelled!  This week we did not have classes on Thursday because there was a nation wide strike going on.  From what we gathered, there was recently a labor reform passed.  We don't know the exact details but we do know that it made it easier for companies to fire employees.  There were fliers and stickers all around the city and many of the city workers chose to not work for the day.

They have also been busy setting up for Holy Week next week.  They have put up many bars to create walk ways and sitting areas for the week.  We are excited to see what all is going on during Holy Week.  We do not have classes the whole week in observance of the holiday.

We also learned this week that instead of Friday the 13th being a day where the superstition says there is bad luck, it is Tuesday the 13th!  Kind of different!

Not too much going on here for the past week, we are excited for the upcoming month because we will be able to see a lot of the Spanish culture during Holy Week and during the Seville Fair!:)

Adios!:)
-Kelli!
