On the way to Salamanca...


A funny story: This past Wednesday our Spanish class, along with some other foreigners studying here, went to Salamanca. It is famous for the oldest University in Spain. It is about a 3 hour bus ride away. When we were getting close, the lead professor got up and started talking about the city. Behind her was a tv screen with a bouncing screen saver. For those of you that watch The Office, this sets up just like the beginning of one of the episodes. We all start focusing on the bouncing icon on the screen, hoping it would hit at exactly the corner, although of course just when you think it might, it ricochets off just missing. Well right as the professor finished her speaking, the icon hit in the very corner, causing us to erupt in applause and cheering. Perfect timing. She thought we were cheering for her.
