Protest!

On Leap Year, Feburary 29th, all across Spain, all the students were protesting budget cuts and also how that some schools don't have heat. I only had heard about this protest once during class on Monday so I didn't think it would be a big deal. I thought it would be like when we were protesting the University's budget cut. Well, then yesterday, Mel, Nicole and I were in our Latin class when we heard yelling. We didn't want to be roped into a protest so we ducked under our desks because we didn't really know what to do. It scared us a little bit. Then we left the classroom and found Becca who had been in the bathroom when the people were going through our building. She definitely got scared because someone actually poked their head into the bathroom wanting to rope people into defending their cause. I later found out that Facultad de Derechos some people had set of smoke bombs. I also read in the newspaper that in Barcelona the protests turned into riots and the students were setting fire to things. I think that should be heat in all the schools and that the students should be able to vent their feelings but not get to the point were they are extremely aggressive and they become violent. I think that the students that were in our building were just really aggressive and I don't think I knew if they were going to become violent or not.
