LETTER TO THE EDITOR
who does this "chica" think she is? only lindsey coleman would make a mock newpaper to send to her friends while she visits the world of latin america abroad. some might say this "news rag" rivals the "toe is back" picture pasting incidents, others would relate it more so to the annual anderson birthday card. when asked about the recent release of the "el cuarto" first and second editions, toe simply relpied,"just wait until july 22." apparently that brilliant birthday card revolutionary has yet ANOTHER trick up her sleeve. i suppose we will all just have to wait and see. in the mean time, one must entertain themself with some sort of light reading purely for medicinal purposes. i suppose "el cuarto" is the answer that many over-worked and over-read college students are looking for... something light... something touching...something good for the soul. on the other hand, perhaps these students merely wish to take a step back and chuckle to themselves at the life of one lindsey coleman and the crazy adventures this slightly off-the-wall traveling student encounters overseas. --CA

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
the editor apologizes for the lack of editions lately. she has been busy with exams. however, the editor would like to make the announcement that a new section will be added to EL CUARTO. this section is called "SO MUCH DRAMA IN THE OTB" which is the restaurant On the Border for those who are none tallahacians. libby is a waitress/bartender at this residence. this section will permanently replace "TOOL TIME WITH JACOB COLLINS" for he has redeemed himself as of this past saturday at the terrible 80's club.....a dance machine by nature (well after about 5 shots of tequila and a rack of other stuff)....wait now that the editor reminisces on that night, perhaps TOOL TIME should come back.... ;)

INTERNATIONAL NEWS
DANCE TEAM TRYOUTS HELD IN BARCELONA
it was a cool night in barcelona. the streets were bustling with tango dancers, gypsies with flutes, their obedient dogs, and the students from fsu on the hunt for a hip hop club in barcelona. well they soon found it....jamboree. there were several teams who went out for the official dance team slots. few made it though. lindsey perhaps was a close call with her infamous running man in a circle...however it was not displayed that night. three have been selected. there is bow girl, who not only wore a shirt with bows on it, but danced soley with one elbow. very interesting technique. then came the main attraction...we will call her j-lo. a comment from julie, a friend of the inhabitants of EL CUARTO..."it was much like watching a new born colt learn to walk." nuff said.

NATIONAL NEWS
I'M ALL EARS
so the other night libby and linds discovered that they could hear their neighbors discussions through the wall. there will be nightly sessions of gossip gathering. more to come on this story later.... FASHION
lindsey has purchased a nice pant suit for work next january. also, today she purchased a pair of jeans. all are from zara, a store here that is also found in miami but is three times the price that it is here in españa.
TRAVEL
since the last edition lindsey has been to tarragona, montserrat, girona, figueres (where dalí lived and died), and barcelona. in barcelona lindsey met the mcmahon's cousin matt saxon. "how odd!" lindsey exclaimed. this upcoming weekend lindsey will be going to the region of andalucia which will include cities such as: granada, sevilla, and córdoba.

CRIME
on the way to montserrat from barcelona lindsey was almost robbed!!! lindsey and jacob were standing in line at the train station purchasing tickets and jacob turned to ask lindsey something and a man was going for the zipper on lindsey's backpack. to el ladron (that's thief in spanish)surprise he would have been rather upset to only find a huge case of make up in the bag. so take that punk!

CASE CLOSED
last night after doing laundry all day, libby and lindsey discovered that lindsey's favorite pair of underwear were missing. they belong to a matching set. so special agent coleman got on the case and located them directly in front of the security desk.

SO MUCH DRAMA IN THE OTB
that's right it's kinda hard being snoop d-o-double g. that's how ryan the manager feels. ryan is 30, married and has a child. ryan has been screwing the milk maid...no no she's just the bartender. she is 24, named diana. about a week ago diana met some co-workers, including ryan, at a bar called AJ's. ryan and two other co-workers and one ex-co-worker were already drunk by the time diana arrived. jessica (age 19) was fired because of cinco de mayo....she got wasted on the job and could not control herself. hence, the unemployment line had a new subscriber. ryan aka snoop thought it would be a good idea to hook up with the 19 yr old kid right in front of diana! so just chill....til the next episode.

FOOD
there is a cafeteria/restaurant at the bottom of the dorm here. when you enter the restaurant you are to walk up to what resembles a cigarette machine and enter money and press the food you want, and out pops a ticket. libby and lindsey were going to split a cheese sandwich and patatas fritas (french fries). what did they get? a plate with a sandwich on it....so where are the fries lindsey asks? oh...they are IN the sandwich. lindsey does not understand and was not available for comment on the situation.

WEATHER finally somewhat nice. quite breezy on the east side of the dorm, however when one walks down the street westward the breeze settles and the air is rather nice.
