Hii! I can´t write much because I need to head home for lunch pretty soon... but just wanted to write a quick message before I head out tomorrow for Madrid for the weekend! I´m going with Beth, Cody, Colleen, Ryan and Michael, and then we are meeting one of Beth´s best friends from home there too.. so that should be fun! Today was our last day of class for the week.. and it was a loooooong one. Two days ago Beth and I FINALLY met our "intercambio" (person from Spain who wants to learn english and wants to help us learn [View Full Entry]

Helloooo! Sooo I´m going to have to make this a semi-quick entry since I have to leave to get home for lunch in about 10 mins (p.s. I´m starvinggg).... So, Canary Islands was a blast! We had a flight out of Sevilla at 11pm Wednesday night so we ended up getting to our hotel at about 1:30am. We booked our trip through the travel agency Discover Sevilla and I was really impressed with how organized everything was. We had pre-paid for most of the trip ... so when we got to the airport we had a bus waiting there for us [View Full Entry]

Holaaa! Back at school after a long weekend! Thursday was a lot of fun... after the last day of exams everyone was ready for a fun night out. Beth, Kelly and I went running down by the river in the afternoon and met up with some guys in our program that were hanging out at a floating river bar. That night we all out together as a big group... which was a lot of fun. We ended the night dancing at Buddha. Friday we kind of relaxed all day and then at night we went out to supposedly the restaurant with [View Full Entry]

Exam week...

 Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Seville
Ahhhh! I´m so sick of studying!!! I just have one more test tomorrow and then I´m DONE for the week. It wierd here because it´s pretty much like our finals week this week (where we have an exam for each class, except we still have all of our regular classes too..). I feel like we haven´t really had to do much of anything for school outside of school before this week, and now it is like non-stop studying blahhhh. So far the ones I have taken haven´t been too bad, but lots of memorization. My last test is for my women [View Full Entry]

Happy Valentine´s Day

 Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Seville
Heyyyyyyy everyone! Happy v-day! I just finished up classes for the week... next week is our first week of exams... yuck. They shouldn´t be too bad though. This week flew by. Beth and I have been outside a lot ... running by the river and walking around exploring new things around the city. Yesturday we played fútbol with like 20 people in our program. It was pretty hilarious, but really fun! I´m sore today. Sorry I can´t really think of anything interesting to say today. hahaha. Last night we went out for Brad´s (a guy in our program) 21st birthday. It [View Full Entry]

Hello! Happy Monday! I just got done with class and now I´m just hanging out until Beth gets done. I´m so sad I forgot my cord today for my camera, so I will have to add pictures tomorrow or the next day! Anyway, the weekend was a lot of fun! Friday night, Beth, Birdie, Lindsay, Leah and I went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant close to the water. It was delicious food... I got a chicken burrito with rice and beans and potato wedges. mmm. We all decided to get margaritas since we were going Mexican for the night... [View Full Entry]

Happy Friday!

 Europe » Spain » Andalusia » Seville
Hello! I´ve been pretty busy the last few days with school and some other things... but it´s finally the weekend! Yesturday Beth and I were out and about after lunch running some errands and at about 8pm we went for a run... (finally my legs aren´t sore anymore). Then we came home and María José had choir practice last night so Beth, Britteney and I ate dinner by ourselves (tortilla española, salad and bread.. mmm). Beth and I went out at 10:30ish to meet up with a bunch of people to hang out in a little plaza right outside our school. [View Full Entry]

This week for school we have a long week because we have Friday classes. There are only 4 Fridays in the semester that we have classes and this Friday we are having Tuesday classes, which I´m not too happy about since Tuesdays and Thursday get to be pretty long days at school. On Monday Beth, Colleen and I went running down by the river. It was so nice out and really pretty by the water because we went right before sunset. Monday night we called it an early night for a full day of classes on Tuesday. Tuesday my legs were [View Full Entry]

Fun weekend in Granada! I forgot to mention in my last post the highlight of my day on Thursday.... Beth and I had stayed in Wednesday night because we were tired, but quite a few guys went out to a dance club called BOSS for camoflauge (sp?) night. Beth and I get to school early for our 8:15am class Thursday just in time to see Ryan walk up the stairs with 2 black lines on each cheek. We asked what was on his face and he looked 1/2 asleep still and then surprised and imbarrassed and ran to the bathroom. hahaaha... [View Full Entry]
