It's rainy in Sofia. And I have to work Friday night 4-8pm and Saturday 10-2pm.  <em>Parent conferences</em>. I eep telling myself it's okay. I had Thursday and Friday off last week for Thanksgiving. Still it's kind of hard to stomach.

Luckily, I don't teach too much on Fridays. But the bad news? I've got plenty of grading to do.

I kind of think that it all balances out.<em> Eventually</em>. Only sometimes I am not so sure. Like when I am staring down an extra eight hours of work in a week.

So I'll try not to think about it. I'd rather think about Madrid.

That's much nicer. Much, much nicer.

I mean, look at how great this breakfast was. Hot chocolate. Molten chocolate, really, and churros.

This was a great breakfast. Fried dough and chocolate. And I am not actually even a chocolate person. My whole life I've preferred white cake (vanilla if you will) to chocolate cake. However, this combination is pretty great.

It's the kind of treat that you know you could never replicate at home. Frankly, it's a good thing too because I'd never want to leave the house if I could whip-up a combination like this one.
