I got up at 8:00 and quickly put on my sweatpants and shirt and went for a run along the River Genil making a loop back to my street. Considering I hadn't run in a while, I felt pretty good.
Today I would take my fourth final and take a chunk out of my paper. I spent 3 hours working on my paper and although I wasn't sure if I was writing too much, I began my chapter by chapter analysis of the book. Tedious.
For lunch, I realized I needed more hot sauce, as I had run out of the "imported" Tapatio hot sauce that my mom had sent me in October. The only store that I had found that sold real hot sauce was the Nordstrom quality-equivalent, Cortés Ingles. While I was in there "Mexican food section," I bought some tortillas and beans and came back for some "make your own tacos." Really good.
After having café, I did some last minute studying for Análisis de Políticas Publicas and then walked over to the facultad.
To put it simply, I think I failed. The exam was very difficult and despite my studying, note taking and attendance to all the classes, the three essay questions were extremely hard and on material that I hadn't studied. I had studied broad topics and the questions were erudite and specific. I think I did very poorly and was disappointed in my self when I left the classroom.
I was a angry and disappointed so I went for another run. Going the opposite direction from the morning, I ran up towards the Sierra Nevada national park. Keeping a fast pace the whole way, I finished the normally 1 hour run in 40 minutes.
Not one to stop working because I hadn't done well on one thing, I spent the rest of the evening working on my paper for Teoría Del Estado.
