I'm driving home for Christmas
Oh, I can't wait to see those faces
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Well I'm moving down that line
And it's been so long
But I will be there
I sing this song
To pass the time away
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
It's gonna take some time
But I'll get there
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around
But soon there'll be a freeway
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
I am driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories
I take look at the driver next to me
He's just the same
Just the same
Top to toe in tailbacks
Oh, I got red lights all around.
I'm driving home for Christmas, yea
Get my feet on holy ground
So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
Oh and feel you near me
Driving in my car
Driving home for Christmas
Driving home for Christmas
With a thousand memories...

Out of Reach!
Yes, indeed - tomorrow starts my so far longest trip: Elche-Valencia-Barcelona-Austria-Hungary-Madrid-Elche.... hoping to be back by 5th of December... uff..... :)
Besides that, my mother is visiting me so I have been rather busy with entertaining her!
And, yeah, that's it!
Peace,
Ilziii...

Lai dzivo Latvija! :)
Although in Spain, I still managed to celebrate the 18th of November a bit. I had invited all Erasmus to the Latvian dinner, which means - I was cooking! :D Wanted to make something traditional from potatoes and meat, as the options are very limited here due to the unavailability of raw materials. Anyway, everything started very well, but during the process I faced some problems and changed the initial idea completely, so what came out in the end was Patatas'a'la'Ilze instead of cepeliini... But they said they liked! :D The evening turned out great as the dinner and chatting lasted for 5 hours! :)
Basically being in Spain is super cool - as I do not have many lectures, I usually go to sleep at 2am and wake up at midday; the only subject in which I have to do some more or less important home works I can do it in English and it is still 20 degrees during the day! :)
The weekend was relatively calm as we are still a bit sick, but it still means that we went out on Friday and Saturday, but returned rather early - 5am. And we have reached the point where Elche just seems too small for partying so we see our night'life future in Alicante! :D
Buchas!

Rrrr....
Sick! Not of Spain but in Spain! Have no idea how is it possible (still 22 degrees during day...), but here we are - me and Emilie, feeling tired all day long and breaking our fantastic weekend plans... Rrrr.... But no worries - I have lots of tea, garlic and willingness to fight with the sickness! :)
Apart from that, I had 2 more tests this week - in Financial Planning, which was very easy, basically only basics of forecasting but still for 5th year students; and in International Trade which was very funny, as almost all exercises demanded written explanation but taking into account that my written spanish is not in a very advanced level, I think professor will laugh quite a bit while correcting! :D
And I think there are no more news from my side so I shall keep trying to find smth interesting to watch!
Peace and health!

Top Scoring and Cheating!
Yes, it really happened - I got my first...
and it was in Finance, so no kidding! ;) Actually it is quite funny, because my score was only 55% (due to the fact that professor is being very tough and I have totally forgotten derivatives) but it was still way better than the average result (I think around 30%)... yes, Finance is tough even in Spain!
And now the cheating part... Actually we had a very entertaining lecture of International Trade yesterday. It started with professor returning us our assignments - it turned out that mine was exactly the same as the one of Zakari! :D Professor had noticed that, but - Ou well, it is Spain... Zakari talked a bit with him, but no problem! :) and then he returned another assignment... for this one he said that ALL people (around 30) have the same mistakes... O'ouuuu, you might think, but, again, it is Spain, so professor came up with a very interesting solution: Not giving home works anymore! :D But that was not it - as he wanted to see how much we know of what we had to do for yesterday's lecture (we just had to search for information about some contracts in internet), he collected our home works and asked us to briefly write what were those contracts about. As NOONE knew anything, the discussion started: "But professor, you asked to search for information, not read or understand it!" - that was my favorite sentence! :D After that everyone just started laughing, including professor! And again: Ok, forget it, let's move on!
This is how cheating problems are solved in Spain, pretty hard to imagine smth like that in SSER, but I guess that is why I am here - to get different experience! ;)
