International Relations Simulation Game- Spanish Style and USA FIFA victory against Spain
Yesterday, we had class as always, it was ok. Then, for our last class of the day it was culture class, which we just finished up a art section about Dali and how he was a classic painter as well as surrelist painter and all the symbols in his artwork and what they mean. After that section we began the history of Spain and since we only have three days to talk about it we played a turn table game including the guardia civil, socialistas, comunistas, El Rey juan carlos, and another group which I am not able to recall. Our teacher, which is this really Spanish macho guy with a big boombing voice, think of the Man in the Iron Mark characters. All this man lacks is a long ponytail of curls. So we proceeded to "negociate" between these polical groups, I was in the communist group and we either had the optoin to work with King Juan Carlos, or either start a revolution. The year is 1975 or something and we proceded to start a revolution since the government was weak and the socialistas wanted some change of government so we said why not. But all of this was done in Spanish of course. So after that class I went back to my casa and took a three hour siesta and studied until about 8:30, from that time until about 10:4o ish I go to this Irish pub to watch the soccer match between Spain and the USA and have a drink with a group of MSU students. It was insane! You had Spainards yelling for their side and all the Americans which were many cheering for their side after we made goals after goals. After that I went back to my casa and studied some more until about 1:00ish and went back to sleep!
