From January 10, 2008 until May 12, 2008 I am studying abroad through Simpson College in Seville, Spain. While taking 18 credit hours I am living with a host family, becoming active in the culture, using my Spanish speaking abilities and exploring Europe. This blog will serve as an up-to-date reference as to what I am doing, the things that I have encountered, and the experiences I want to share.

Know that I miss you all and I hope you enjoy the frequent banterings of my experiences in Spain! I will be home soon enough but for now...¡Hola de España!

A Rainy Day

Sunday February 17, 2008

 Today was the first really rainy day that we’ve had since arriving in Spain. It was a little cooler here today, but nothing in comparison to the weather that Iowa has been having. I think that I picked the best winter to be gone for, and I’m not missing a bit of it. I headed to República today to talk to my parents and friends. There weren’t very many people out today, which is a lot different than many of the other Sundays. I think that the lack of Sevillanos was due to the weather. I didn’t let the rain get me down and I had a fairly productive day. In the next week I have a paper due and two tests, therefore I will be a busy girl. Good thing that I am leaving for Paris on Thursday night, it seems as though it is almost a reward for surviving the week. Since today was a rather bland day, I decided to include a few cheesy jokes to make it seem as if the day were more exciting:

 

Q: What do astronauts like on their sandwiches?

A: Launch Meat

 

And finally…

 

Q: If you were a spy, what kind of shoes would you wear?

A: Sneakers.
