I made a promise to myself to keep up with my blogging … clearly I was not able to handle the stress of school and writing. Every time I returned home from class, I was too tired to focus. It’s a lame excuse but es la verdad. Like my last post said I’ve spent the majority of last week working on a paper. And even though I only spent 4-6 hours working on it, it was draining and I was left in a grumpy mood with a splitting head ache. Here’s to hoping that this state improves!
Ok so you may be wondering, what I’ve been doing other than writing a paper … I’ve been looking at a lot of churches/art. A part of my grade is to go on excursions with the program. We’ve been traveling around Sevilla visiting different locations. Here are some photos I’ve taken!
Catedral in Sevilla
Real Alcazar en Sevilla (More pics to come on this when I can visit it on a nicer day)
Letras (Arabic letters) are integrated into the design of the Real Alcazar
Caroline and I in Cadiz!
Ok so I’ve also visited Cadiz and Cordoba. They were both nice cities to visit but I’m so glad to be living in Seville. As stressful as life can get here, I love it so much. I have an amazing host mom who has done a great job taking care of me, and I’ve made some really nice friends who let me complain to them. I know this seems to be a really anti-climatic post … but I honestly have not been up to that much. I’ve picked out my classes (post on that tomorrow after my first day!), written an essay, taken a grammar quiz, and have been forced to visit cultural activities around the city.
Much Love to those still reading! And I promise I’ll try and do a better job at blogging!
