Night before the Exam...

It is 1am, I am still in Valencia, leaving for Paris on tuesday, and it happens to be that Ive got a Finance exam tomorrow... well I just decided that I am not gonna sit that exam. I know it might seem a coward attitude, but to be honest I havent studied as much as I should have done. Sun finally arrived to Valencia, so that didn't help. In addition I became Number 1 fan of procrastinating all day long. During the almost 3 weeks I spent in Spain;I went with my mum to Art Exhibitions (with cocktail offered), went shopping (Dont know if I mentioned that I "left" my glasses inside the toilets of the Airport of Budapest), and I couldnt possibly live all day long just with my contacts. Then a German friend who I met in Paris, Elias, came over for the weekend, and we had fun doing tourism and eating nice food (Eli, quand tu peux, envoyez moi les photos que tu as pris!!). I also had the visit of Paula Patterson (for those of you from Gestion at Sorbonne she is the "Oudry" of Missouri State), in other words she is in charge of the International Students, she treated me to nice "Tapas" at the "Plaza de la Reina". Plus, Dad's birthday dinner (with its obvious hangover the next day), and other events such as going to Mestalla to watch Valencia CF play, having the family coming for dinner, America's Cup of Sailing, and other friends reunions... the rest of the time I studied hard, but I feel that's not enough to pass the exam with certain guaranties.

I dont blame any of the reasons above mentioned. Maybe I was feeling a little home sick and I must warn everybody who hasn't been in Valencia for a while: It has totally changed over the last months!!! However what I had in mind was absolutely different. I, basically used up all of my time here as: "Real Holidays" when I intended to come here to find a nice "Studying Atmosphere". I did the Strategy exam last week, hope to have passed, but I wont be able to do the finance one. Luckily I read that there has to be date in July for Erasmus Students abroad. That means I do really need to study then. As I promised, here are some pics, from Budapest; I must say it was a really really nice trip, I didnt even dream that Budapest could be so fantastic! Thankyou so much Gonza for hosting us!!!
