Then I can backtrack to writing about my trip hopefully before departing on my 2 upcoming ones.When I first arrived in Sevilla at the beginning of January my parents' visit seemed impressive http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Seville/blog-262129.html two norway albumshttpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2355328lffdeaid8629095httpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2355339l414e2id8629095 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Norway/blog-253017.html photos from the weekend before last. includes our wine tour the sevilla soccer game and nights out for the many days of jenn's birthdayhttpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2355280l4ff68id8629095photos from madrid. the thursday and sunday of our weekendhttpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-252780.html so i made it home safe from norway and have successfully made it to the month of march the start of spring or what you could really just consider summer here in sevilla.although the trip to norway so solely on a whim with no intentions of it being completely amazing i have since decided that i must go back because it was just that wonderful. so now on to a rapid fire recap of my long weekend http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-252632.html one more week down and only two more until the halfway point of the trip. pretty remarkable..weekly highlights on tuesday morning my boss informed me that he had to go to court that morning becuase he was being sued for more money from past employees something that is fairly normal for employees to do because of employment laws here. when he returned a few hours later he was ecstatic because he http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/blog-249681.html httpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2349721la0f8cid8629095 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-247606.html so it may appear that i am improving the consistency of my blogging but the truth of the matter is that i'm at my internship on a computer with nothing to do so i figured i might as well get a little blogging done. although it seems pretty odd to me to sit at work with nothing to do i have used the opportunity to keep more up to date on current events than i ever have in my life blog write http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-247513.html httpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2348013l8538eid8629095 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-246197.html I have now passed the one month mark of my time in sevilla making the trip 25 over which is pretty unbelievable. I now feel fairly confident about walking through the city and not getting lost I am feeling increasingly more comfortable conversing with my host family I'm getting to know my group of friends much better and I'm adding more amazing experiences to my list of adventures.I have now http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Seville/blog-245146.html hola a todosso almost two weeks have passed which will clearly amount to too many happenings to remember them all. i will sift through the memories though and try to pull out the ones that will be most interesting to read about. last time i was just finishing the first week of class and now i am one day until the end of it and counting each minute. thats not to say i haven't enjoyed the hilarity http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Seville/blog-241079.html link to photos from my weekend in granandahttpwww.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2342013lcdfd1id8629095 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/blog-240680.html first set of photos. about time i started documenting this trip. enjoyhttpwisc.facebook.comalbum.phpaid2337790l84ec2id8629095 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-237996.html the first week of class has just finished and along with it came more adventures to add to the list.i spent wednesday afternoon preparing for the spanish career fair looking through the different companies' information figuring out how to say some classic interview descriptions of myself in spanish getting into appropriate career fair attire etc. the hotel it was being held at is only about 10 http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/blog-237110.html
