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.
