Pero, yo no sé
por Donald (D.J.) Bush
Ahora es el tiempo perfecto para mi estrella brillar,
pero no sé mi dirección.
Pienso que sé mi futuro
pero no estoy seguro.
Mi madre dice <<Dios está de tu lado>>
pero yo tengo miedo.
El mundo hoy está frío y sin cariño,
pero yo tengo esperanza.
Parezco inteligente,
pero no sé las respuestas.
Mucha gente piensa el mañana vendrá siempre,
pero ellos no saben de verdad.
Siento como que el mundo está en mis hombros,
pero continúo en mi camino.
¿Adónde me tomará este camino?
Yo no sé.
Pero, todavía estoy caminando.
Trip to Barcelona

Marvel at seven story tall representations of a human backbone and Dragon like scales at Casa Batllo, and Montjuic's Magic Fountains that shower you with a song and light show weekly at 7pm. Experience the hodgepodge of structures at La Sagrada Familia, which has taken 122 years and counting to build. It has many skyscraping bell towers, a huge sculpture of the Passion of Christ, and much more. The word gawdy is derived from the architect's name, Antonio Gaudi.

This month in History
By Rebecca Olive
Flag of Spain

On April 25, 1898, the United States formally declared war against Spain. Cubans desired freedom from the Spanish crown, and the U.S. fought Spain in the name of giving Cuba their coveted independence. In the Paris Treaty the U.S. gained control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philipines. The Spanish refer to this moment in hitory as the "desastre colonial" or "colonial disaster." It deprived Spain of raw materials previously procured from these islands. As in Cuba, there was an independent feeling growing in the many different regions of Spain. People began to take a lot of pride in their region instead of their country. In northern spain, in Galicia, the movement was called the Rexurdamiento. Cataluna's movement was known as the Renaixenca.

Summer in Valencia
By Kelly McClendon
The rents bought the ol’ “good opportunity to learn Spanish” bit. When I asked for permission (money) to study abroad in Spain this summer, I of course, left out what I was really excited about: quality vino, long nights in the discothèque, and a country that recognizes the importance of mid-day napping. More and more students are taking advantage of Florida State’s national top-5 international programs. I, for one, can’t wait to spend my summer in the enticing España. If you are thinking that you don’t want to miss out on Valencia, head to International Programs There are still some open spots for this summer’s program.
