It's getting feisty!

So, it's Wednesday afternoon... and here I sit, not in class. Why am I not in class right now you may ask? That, my dear blog follower, is a great question.
And here is the answer:

It's a strike/ demonstration.  The students at all the universities in Spain are on strike.  (It's worse in some cities than in others)
Basically, they are striking because of the "recortes" meaning the cut-backs.  These cut-backs are affecting education, because there are less teachers in the schools, meaning less classes, and larger number of students per class.  And they are continuing to have to pay the same amount for tuition.
This is the second demonstration I've seen in in two days, and there's another one planned for tomorrow.  Not to mention there were a few last week (I'm not sure what those were for...).  So, needless to say, it's getting interesting over here.  Definitely a great experience for a future Spanish teacher, and a very educational experience for anyone.

Well, that's all for now!!
