SPAIN | Saturday, 2 Jun 2007 | Views [703]

            The whole next week was midterm week.   I absolutely could not believe that considering that we had only had two and a half weeks of class because of Semana Santa (a week and a half off).   There was barely even any information to put ... Read more >

            The next weekend was my birthday.   I thought it would be weird to be here for my birthday instead of celebrating with my family and friends, but it ended up being pretty nice.   On Sunday, I woke up and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast ... Read more >

SPAIN | Wednesday, 30 May 2007 | Views [647]

            On Wednesday, we woke up and went to breakfast at 9:30.   One of the reasons we chose this hostel was because of the free breakfast.   I had some pan (bread) with butter and jelly, a bowl of some very plain (but not terrible) cork flake-... Read more >

Wow, so it’s been forever since I updated this.   Lots of stuff has been happening here so you would think I would write more, but I just haven’t been able to find the time or the motivation lately.   I’m just going to pick up where I left off and ... Read more >

Classes (It's not all fun & games!)

SPAIN | Sunday, 8 Apr 2007 | Views [536] | Comments [1]

I survived my first week of classes here.   I thought it would be impossible to take four Spanish classes at once, but it looks like it might not be too bad after all.   I mean, really I’m used to taking 19-20 credit hours with 5 classes and this quarter ... Read more >
