Petite clothes, petits noms

Spain has sales from January to mid February, and so I thought I'd do some shopping. For me, that's mostly window-shopping rather than actually spending money, but I did need some pants. Unfortunately for me, women in Spain are quite a bit smaller than I am, and most of the clothes I encountered were in Petite sizes.

I'm studying for exams. I'm not too sure what I should be doing to prepare, to be honest; all of my exams are essay-based. In the US I'd just glance over my notes a few times and get the theory down, but here the expectations are slightly different. Although I nailed cultural relativism on my anthro midterm, the professor took off points because I mentioned some thinkers but not others. So right now I'm basically memorizing each name mentioned in every text, which is a bit of a pain since I'm used to just remembering the important folks. But I guess even the one-hit wonders will have to make an appearance.

My apologies to Spanish readers. I've just realized how slang-filled this particular entry is.
