leaving barcelona in ten days

i feel very weird about having this little time left in barcelona. i have no motivation to do my work- it's about the last thing on my mind. honestly, though- i've kind of done what i wanted to do and seen what i wanted to see here. additional time wouldn't really be desirable. i'm about ready to come home, but at the same time i'm kind of dreading all the things i'll miss about barcelona- friends, food, and speaking spanish, most of all.

on a more interesting note, the firemen of barcelona flooded the streets yesterday on bikes in protest of their working conditions. imagine a bike parade/protest of about 150 firemen slowly making their way up one of the busiest streets in barcelona, honking horns and in full fireman garb. it was one of the most simultaneously obnoxious (quite loud) and amusing sights i have ever seen.

oh, barcelona.
