My life post-Barcelona

I was hoping that this week I could recover from Barcelona, but no dice!
This week we had hella-class plus internships plus our first EXAM plus leuven, antwerp, and tomorrow ghent, so I am still working on minimal sleep, but also extremely happy.
Monday was, if I recall, not very exciting and was largely taken up with classes, but on Tuesday I had my first day at my internship! Which was... interesting?
I don't think they were very ready for an intern, due to the fact that I had no desk, had no computer, and no work to do. Apparently one of the full-time staff just got back from maternity leave and the other from Iraq and didn't have time to brief. Also there was another full-time intern who was starting on Wednesday (she got a desk AND work to do) so I guess they were pretty swamped, but it wasn't the msot encouraging of welcomes. They gave me about 300 pages of filler reading to do each day, and when I was done they sent me home. I was home by 2 pm both days.
The lack of enthusiasm was a bit disconcerting, but I do love the organization and find their work extremely interesting, so I will give it some time.
Tuesday and Wednesday were basically internship days, and Thursday was filled with class and mega test studying. I went to Trent's house to cook dinner and study with him, Ben, and Rinske after class, and we were there until eleven.
The day of the test, I thought it was an hour earlier than it actually was so I got there at 9:30, but whatever cause it was an extra hour of studying. And for a 50 question multiple choice, the test was extremely hard- I'm a little nervous about the results. Jerry said he'd curve, but since I'm pretty sure Trent got a hundred, there goes the curve! haha.
After the test we went to Leuven (after me and Rinske had a lunch of leftover plain pasta with lemon juice- we paid two euros to cook dinner Thursday night and got a lunch out of it too!) which was very nice, but probably my least favorite of the places we've gone. It just really didn't have much to offer besides a delicious kebab place with a dirt-cheap student menu. The town is a college town and has been for hundreds of years, so it was definiftely interesting, but compared to Bruges and Antwerp didn't really offer much.
After Leuven some people were talking about going out, but I decided that me almost falling asleep in the metro was a sign that I should go home.
I was so excited to get nine hours of sleep!!
