So I’m at this point right now where I really just love everything about my life. I honestly think it’s in a big part due to the easier school system here. School always stresses me out, and here you just have to read like 20 pages each week for each class, you go to class and the teacher explains the lecture. It’s so much easier. I actually dread real classes when I come back. However, I think I may switch to a psychology major so I’m hoping that’s more interesting and I can enjoy it more.
Annnywho. Yeah. So I just am really enjoying Spain right now. The culture is so rich that it is really helping me to appreciate people’s talents. I think because it’s so expensive to go see things in the United States, I probably don’t spend the money to appreciate the arts, but being that the things I’m doing here are paid for in my tuition, it’s easier to enjoy them. The people here are just so laid back and they truly mean it when they say “No pasa nada” essentially, Colleen and I like to say, the equivalent of “Hakuna Matata” from the Lion King.
So. Today Colleen and I had an activity planned with our interest group. We went to see a Flamenco performance that was phenomenal. However, we weren’t so sure we were even going to make it to the show. Our group leader had sent us an email with the information on where to meet, but we didn’t really note it. There are basically two places were we ever meet, so we figured that we would just check those two out. Well, we did and still no one. So, I called my friend Kelly and she told us where it was, so we walked a bit and then took a taxi, only to find out that it’s literally like 5 minutes from our house.
We were supposed to have met with our group at 8:30, but because we were at the wrong places, 8:30 came and went and we made it to the theater right at about 9:00, only to be told that they had just closed the doors where our leader was sitting, so he couldn’t come bring the tickets to us. However, the people at the theater were so helpful and let us into the theater to look for him. Well, turns out there were two open seats really close to the front, so they just let us sit there. We felt like such cheaters. Here we are late and irresponsible, and we get these great seats that probably cost like 50 euro, and our poor teacher who probably would have loved our seats is in the upper balcony with our cheap tickets that CIEE was willing to pay for. Good things come to those who are late ☺. It just felt like such a TV episode like Lucy and Ethel or Laverne and Shirley causing shenannanigans or something.
The show was amazing though. The people have such rhythm, and there’s just a natural musicality to their performance. I loved the drummer, because he was just really good. Haha. There were three men who came out and danced. I feel like Flamenco is the Spanish River Dance. I might not mind to go see River Dance actually. They are so amazing and their feet move so fast. I’m sure their legs are in really good shape. Haha. Then there was a woman who looked strangely Mexican or gypsy like to me. She didn’t really strike me as Spanish. She was good too, but a little bit older. One of the guys was sooooo guapo. I would marry him. He was so cute and he had a smile on his face like he loved dancing. Ring on the finger though. Haha. But yes, overall a very enjoyable experience that turned out much better than I was expecting.

It's Carnaval!
Alcohol, alcohol. Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol. Y bocadillos, embarachandos, los resultados me da igual! The chant heartily sung by many a drunk Spaniard at Carnaval in Cadiz. An experience to say the least. I ventured to Cadiz this weekend, a town south of Sevilla to what my friend’s guidebook says is “the craziest party in Spain.” I have to admit, it wasn’t as crazy as I would have expected.
I and three friends took the train from Sevilla to Cadiz for about $25 and arrived at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. This allowed for a lovely day at the beach of laying out, playing cards and eating our sack lunches. Or like the song says, bocadillos. After seeing the sunset on the beach, we ventured off to Telepizza to seek shelter from the somewhat cold outside. After this, we began our journey into Carnaval.
At Carnaval it’s very typical to go in a huge group all in the same costume. Some popular themes were Cruzcampo men (the guy on the label of the beer made in Sevilla), smurfs, chickens, and men dressed as women. The Cruzcampo men were so jolly. I asked to take a picture with them, and they were like “A picture with Pocohonta.” I went as an Indian, but I was referred to as Pocohonta throughout the night. No joke though, they loved giving me shout outs. Whether simply yelling, “Pocohonta,” “How (you know, like the Native American greeting) or lassoing me, they were very fascinated.
Really from what I saw from Carnaval, I’m not that impressed. It’s essentially like a huge community party, and it reminds me of a hybrid of Mardi Gras and Halloween. The streets and plazas are just flooded with people. People come in their groups of friends and essentially claim a spot and drink their chosen liquor for the night. There’s definite interaction amongst groups, but it’s not like everyone’s just there walking around trying to talk to everyone, but that inevitably happens. They’re so chatty and they like just having a little “where are you from, are you enjoying yourself” conversations.
At 3:30 a.m. Colleen and I began the walk back to the train, and once we got there for our 5:10 a.m. train there was a long line to get through even though we had tickets already. However, we got through the line, and claimed our seat on the floor for our two hour train ride. We arrived back at about 7:00 in the morning, took the bus home, showered and slept until 3:00 p.m. today. What a ridiculous lifestyle they have here.
So, this was the last weekend of Carnaval because it’s the big blowout before Lent, which starts Wednesday. My friends and I are giving up English for Lent, except to communicate with friends and family back home. I’m very excited because I try to speak Spanish with friends here, but no one has been that dedicated, so I just tend to use English too because it’s easier. However, I’m hoping this group effort makes things much more concrete.

Getting involved.
Well, senderismo (hiking) was very fun yesterday. It was also very exhausting, but so worth it. I’ve been wanting to get into naturey things, so this was a good introduction to it. It was a very lovely town in Huelva. I don’t really know what the town was, but I know it was in Huelva. This was a legit hike too. For a little bit I was concerned it would be wimpy and not be worth it, but we had to work. Steep hills, rocks. To the point where you couldn’t always be looking around you because you had to make sure you wouldn’t trip on any rocks.
Today I went to the old folks’ home to volunteer. It was fun, but I feel like it’s so much more laid back and unorganized than volunteering in the United States. I arrived, waited about 10 or 15 minutes for someone to come talk to me, then just followed a nun who led me to the room of a resident just to talk. Then I helped with the coffee time. I had to help a woman who was very picky about her coffee. She had cookies in her coffee, but I had to really stir them in because she didn’t like crumbs. I’ll tell ya. Then I accompanied a woman named Trinidad to what they refer to as “el teatro,” or the theater. That was a really confusing experience.
One of the sisters was setting up the elderly folk, and saying something about a boat, and how we needed to be in the shape of a boat. So, we were divided into two groups that were in the formation of “boats” and I and another volunteer were serving as captains of the boats. Then we did some basic exercises. I don’t understand if it really is a play they’re going to perform one day, or it’s just a way to make exercise fun, but nonetheless it was good.
Then I returned home and Colleen and I ventured to buy our train tickets for Carnaval. Our tickets are successfully purchased and our friends Sal and Mara are going to join us for a day at the beach with our packed lunches, followed by the party that is Carnaval at night. It should be a great time. Colleen and I want to be a bull and a matador as our costume, but we’ll see what the costume store has to offer us.
Classes are going fine. There’s a lot of reading, which is different than anything I’ve really had before. So it’s in one way easier, and in another more challenging. I suppose I shall just keep trucking along and we’ll see where it takes me.

Happy Valentines Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Or as is said in Spain, Feliz Dia de los Enamorados. How strong, eh? Day of the enamored ones. So tonight we’ll probably see what’s poppin around town. I went running today with Colleen, and I LOVE RUNNING. Haha. I’m so out of shape that it’s hard, but I miss it. I can’t do my good old six mile runs yet, but I will work up to it. Actually, the Sevilla Marathon is next weekend, so perhaps I’ll try to spectate. Tomorrow our program is taking a hiking trip, but I don’t think it’s like hiking through some intense mountain range, probably just some hilly land. I honestly don’t even know where we’re going for it, but it’s free, so that’s all that matters.
I went to the old folk’s home today of the Hermanitas Pobres to set up some volunteering activities. I hope that that works out well. It seems like it could be really beneficial.
Soooo next weekend is Carnival in Cadiz, and I didn’t plan on going, but I’m actually going to look into it. There are buses that will take you there and then you return at like 7 in the morning on Sunday. So crazy, but everyone wears costumes and I think there are some plays and stuff. I just can’t pass up the opportunity to go to something called Carnival.
The weather here is so great right now. When I went running I wore shorts and a t-shirt, and I feel like the people stare at you. Maybe it’s because it’s like boy clothes, maybe girls don’t wear athletic shorts here, but they look at you like you’re crazy. Also, I think part of it is they think it’s still kind of cold outside, but it’s like a day late in spring.
I feel like this semester is going to fly. I know that I say that in like every post, and I also acknowledge that there is still a whole semester worth of work to do, but my week ends on Thursday, and then we take at least a day trip on a lot of weekends, so the week seems to go by pretty fast. I hope that it doesn’t go too quickly, but I guess I can just enjoy it as it comes. How loca es la vida.

I am bad at coming up with titles.
Sooooo. Things are good. Classes started this week. They don't seem too bad. The university class will be challenging, fo sheezy, but I think it will definitely be worth it. The professor is an old man who looks wise. Perhaps it's because he speaks Spanish is why I think he's wise, but whatever the reason, I think it will be good.
I'm getting nervous because I am now flying solo with the university class. Colleen is no longer going to take it so I will be in Sevilla until the end of June by myself. I suppose I just need to make some Spanish friends, which is much easier said than done. It can be said in English, but must be done in Spanish. So, we'll try to figure that out...
The weather is finally better. Yesterday was gorgeous and I went running with a friend and it was GREAT! I miss running. I fell and scraped up my knees. That hurt. However, I've always been told you're not a runner until you fall, so now I'm oficially a Spanish runner. This Sunday I am going hiking, so that's very exciting. Hopefully it's not too dificil but also not too easy and lame. haha. Well, I hope all is well in the states and other foreign countries in which you may be.
Much love.

Getting into the swing of things.
I find it's getting harder to update because life is just kind of normal here now. I mean as normal as it can be for living in a foreign country.
Yesterday some friends and I went to a small bar to watch the Sevilla vs. Betis soccer match. It's a really big rivalry because both teams are from Sevilla. Comparable perhaps to a Cubs/Sox series. The bar we went to was definitely in favor of Betis. When they scored each time they went crazy. So that was really cool to see. I would have loved to take videos, but that would have been very obviously touristy. Then we played a round of pool and called it a night.
Today Colleen and I went to church, still without a mass booklet, so still without any idea of what's going on. We're working on that. Then because our senora had to clean our rooms, we were exiled from the house until 2:30 when lunch would be ready, so we just stayed in a plaza that was sunny for like 2 hours and people watched. The people here are funny. One store front that was open was home to a man who was somewhat eccentric. Three times cars drove by, stopped in front of the store, honked their horns with music blaring, to have the store owner come out with a feather duster and dust the drivers and then they drive off. Just a crazy Spainard. Very entertaining for us though. We returned home to our lovely neat bedroom and are off soon to hang out with our friends, Julie and Danielle. Very lovely people they are.
Classes start tomorrow, including the one Colleen and I are taking that's in the university with real Spanish people. It will be quite challenging, I'm sure.
Although we try to speak Spanish a lot, Colleen and I do speak English sometimes. So, we're thinking of giving it up for Lent, because it starts next weekend! With the exception of communication to home. Because no way am I giving up the delicious pastries I can only enjoy for 5 months. No way. That's all for nowwww.

A Granada
Woooooooord. Long time no post, but so is the life of a Spanish study abroad student. This week was lovely. The weather got nice a couple of times. School is good. I went to the Catedral of Sevilla, which is really cool. It’s the third largest church in the world, behind St. Peter’s Basillica in Rome and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, both of which I’ve been too ☺. Oh to be well traveled. But yes, very cool and beautiful. Also, La Giralda is the only remaining part that is Muslim, and you can walk up it and see a beautiful view of Sevilla. So lovely. See facebook pictures.
I got back today from a lovely weekend in Granada. It was like 2 or so hours from here. There they have La Alhambra, which is an impressive Muslim castle which a lot of sweet, intricate designs and architecture. It was a cool trip, but the weather was really rainy and without my winter coat that I missed so much all weekend, it was quite chilly. However, again, the views were beautiful. I saw the Sierra Nevada! That was cool. Only from a distance, but nonetheless. In real person.
On Saturday, we arrived, went to La Alhambra, had some free time, went to a Teateria and then more free time. All of the food at the hotel was buffet style and there was DELICIOUS paella there. So scrumptious. Lots of shrimp, mussels, and other fishy things that my previous self wouldn’t really care to eat. In our free time we walked through a Morrocan like market, which made me SO excited to go to Morroco. There is so much cool stuff. I love the style. The Teateria is a tea place, probably similar to like a hookah bar minus the hookah. They served us pleasantly warm tea with some little pastries. When I go to Morocco, I’m going to buy a teapot like the ones they had in Granada. So cute. I love tea. After dinner my friends and I went to a little Bohemia Jazz Club. It was a really cool atmosphere. Very mellow, with a man who was playing piano. I ordered a delicious hot chocolate with whip cream and cinammon, which is canela en Espanol. I learned that this weekend.
Today we passed throw Albaicin, which is an old little town in Granada. Very windy. The tour guides joked that if you got lost there, you were lost forever and they wouldn’t be able to find you. After that we returned to the Moroccan market to peruse a little more, had some café con leche in a little coffee bar and then to dinner.
When we got home, and on the way home, it was POURING. Go figure I forgot my umbrella so I had to walk home in the rain. Miserable. I was drenched. Overall though, a really fun weekend. Stinks that the weather was so bad, but Granada was a lovely place to visit. However, I’m glad to call Sevilla home.
P.S. IT’S ALREADY FEBRUARY!
P.P.S. I’m sad I’m missing the superbowl. I was going to go watch it at some Irish pub, but it would be starting at like 1 in the morning or something. Not desirable. Tell me what the best commercials are!

Two for one. Count your blessings.
Whoo. It has been quite the jam packed week or so. Classes started today, but not our regular classes, the intensive session that is two weeks of a class with 3 hours of class each day. Our midterm will be Friday! Haha. It’s kind of a nice transition into classes because if I was just thrown into classes after my lovely extended break, I think I would die. All of the teachers seem nice though, and I can understand them very well.
I can’t decide if I am going to gain or lose weight while I’m here. For lunch and dinner there is SO MUCH food, and I am fully capable of, and do eat it all. However, I’m always so hungry because during the day we walk so much. My feet literally hurt so bad yesterday because we have been walking so much. I think I can literally feel the different bones in my foot instead of my foot feeling like one continuous bone, like usual.
I am realizing how quickly everything is going to pass just because there is sooo much to do. This weekend we’re going to Granada, which is still in Andalucia, but like maybe 2 hours from here. We’ll leave on Saturday at 8:30 and return sometime on Sunday. Granada has La Alhambra which is a well known structure in Spain. I’m anticipating it being beautiful. The next weekend nothing is planned yet, but then the following there’s a hiking trip on Sunday. So, I need to get planning on all of my trips if I don’t want June 30 to sneak up on me.
I still haven’t been able to take advantage of the rebajas, which is KILING me. There is so much cool stuff and it’s all at reduced prices, but it seems that whenever Colleen and I have matching free time is during la siesta, and what’s the point of the siesta if people don’t shut down all the stores? Hopefully sometime this week or next…it has to happen. I’m still adjusting to the whole lack of internet thing, but it’s actually really good for me. If I had internet in my house, I know I would go on it way more often than is good for me, and this way I can just spend my time in my house reading in Spanish or doing homework.
