my posting times have become irregular

This is a direct result of the fact that my life has become irregular.



It is Feria week in Sevilla, which means there are a lot of people here. From everywhere. So of course I got sick. But no worries, I am on the mend! I almost have my appetite back again, and on the positive side I lost weight! Since I was kinda starting to gain some, that's okay.

Back to Feria. It's awesome. It's amazing. It's cultural.

I want to kill people.

I love Feria. It's like the Spanish version of a Renaissance festival mixed with a county fair, mixed with a block party. With a circus. Obviously it's sweet. I discovered possibly my favorite alcoholic beverage at Feria. It's called rebujito, it's Manzanilla (a white wine) and soda water. It's great for a hot day, so perfect for the stuffy tents where you dance Sevillanas.

The people are obnoxious.

During Semana Santa, the streets became safer. This was good. It enabled me to wander around late at night getting pictures without fear.

Feria is dangerous. In groups I get accosted. Therefore, my experiences with Feria have been somewhat mixed. I feel that it would be a good thing to do with a male counterpart. But I'm not really excited about it anymore, despite everything good about it.

In other news, it is finally crunch time. I lost a couple of days to sickness, and so I'm a little behind, but hopefully I'll have one project finished tonight and have the research mostly finished for my paper that's due Thursday. That's the goal anyways. Otherwise I may be in trouble.

When I check back in it may all be done.
