hola, my dear friends. sorry for the rather long pause between posts. haven't had much to say in a while, but i figured it was about time to update you all on my life here. hmm..since the last time i wrote, i think that was before granada last weekend. damn. okay, so granada is absolutely gorgeous. we went to the alhambra, which is this massive collection of old mosques and gardens and it's absolutely incredible. if you're reading this and you are currently in spain, definitely make a trip to granada, totally worth it. they also have these cute little side streets with lots of little shops that sell hookahs and teas and lots of ceramics and leather for super cheap. a very fun weekend overall! and this past weekend I went to Alcazar which is similar to the Alhambra, but it's in Sevilla and it's much smaller, but still beautiful all the same. plus, it's right in the center of the city so i plan on spending lots of time in the gardens when it gets warmer. speaking of which, a little something to make my fellow jumbos and all who currently suffer on the east coast jealous: this past weekend, it was a beautiful 65 degrees and sunny here. by noon there were hundreds of people just outside of my house drinking, eating, and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. ahhh, the wonderful life of a Spaniard.
also news i guess, since i believe my parents do now read my blog, i started real classes today. one was this really cool journalism class in which we write a magazine that comes out the end of the semester, both in spanish and in english. i also have to have a blog for this class, so for anyone who speaks spanish, i'll post the link here soon if you love my blogs
that much and want to follow me twice! another class i'm taking is a cinema class at the university, and it
could not be easier. literally all we do is watch movies (in spanish), talk about them a little, and go home. no homework, no papers, no reading. 2 tests, y nada más. looks like it'll be a stress free semester after all =]
viva la vida.
