Today Lisa and I are leaving for London!! YAY! Unfortunately that means we will also be internetless because we are definitely not risking taking our computers along with us while couchsurfing and staying in hostels…but we are VERY excited, especially because we get to speak ENGLISH the entire time. For the first time in months we won’t have to worry about translating! It should be interesting because apparently Obama’s over there right now and its causing quite a commotion, but we’re not too worried about it. Guess what!! We have new students!! Two students just arrived in on Tuesday from the US…I’m not sure how long they’re staying until, but it sounds like it will be a month or two. Unfortunately that did mean we also lost a few students :( Our friend Obe from Denmark ... read more

Well today has been a slightly depressing day because its stormy out, everyone’s sick, and my best friend here Lisa was really upset since her and her boyfriend from home broke up last night. She actually ended up going home early, I felt really bad for her  But on the bright side, after tomorrow, the weather is going to start getting really nice again and actually stay that way! And, we are leaving for London next week Friday…yay…although we haven’t found a place to stay yet! Oops…we are probably going to end up staying in a hotel because this whole couch surfing thing just isn’t working out. Yesterday Lisa I went to see a place called Banos Del Carmen, and we walked all the way there! It was on the way other side of Malaga, ... read more

Well let's see here...this week went by really fast again. Lisa and I have been busy making plans for Semana Santa, and after shopping around for a while, we decided to go with visiting London. We found some tickets off of ryanair that leave from Malaga for 15 euros, but haven't bought any tickets back yet because the return flight is almost 100 euros! What a difference...so hopefully we find another alternative...apparently flying to Barcelona from London is pretty cheap, so we might just do that and get some really cheap train tickets from Barcelona to Malaga. Other than that, we've been finding some time to go to the beach since its been pretty sunny this week...although the whole having class from 10-2 everyday thing kind of takes away a huge part of your day :( ... read more

Well...I realized it has been a VERY long time since my last update!! But that's probably because this last week and a half has flown by So Lindsay and Karen came here from to stay with me from last Saturday until this past Saturday and it was so good to see some friends from home....unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate much and the warmest it ever got was like 65 degrees, but we still had a good time anyways. The nice thing is that instead of lazing around on the beach all day like we probably would've done if the weather had permitted it, we ended up going out and seeing places to keep ourselves preoccupied. We hung around town for the first few days to see all the local attractions, and then we went to go ... read more

Well….I went to Granada this weekend which was a pretty good time. We left on Saturday morning and toured around a cathedral there a little bit and then shopped for the rest of the afternoon. We found a ton of really cheap stores for souvenirs on the side streets....it caused us to get chased around by gypsies trying to get us to buy rosemary from them, which was kind of weird...Then at night we climbed up one of the mountains to see the city from up high and the view was AMAZING! You could see everything from up there….and everything was lit up so you could see for miles. We were standing across from the mountain where the monument La Alhambra was built, and there were a bunch of lights shining on it to make it ... read more
