One thing that I regret from the time that I’ve been here is that I haven’t spent enough time getting to fully take in the city. After reading through several of my colleagues’ blog posts, I have realized that there are several events and activities that I had no idea were even occurring around me! I saw the stage set up in Plaza Reial as I walked by it on my way to studio last weekend…but unfortunately I never saw anything happening on it. Apparently there were puppet shows for children and several bands playing… somewhere else there was even some sort of drumline parade that I missed!
I know that we will have free time once classes are over to explore, (though I had planned on taking some trips to other countries during that time to take advantage of the fact that I’m already in Europe) but I don’t want to miss out on what is happening around me now. These everyday experiences of the culture are just as important as all the beautiful places we have gotten to see as a class. If that means less sleep for me because I have to work in more time to wander, well, that’s just what I’m going to have to do. Life is too short... I can't waste time.
