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!

Internship Interviews

Friday March 28, 2008

Today I had two phone interviews for perspective internships. They both went really well and I’m glad that I am able to do phone interviews from so far away! People have been very helpful and pretty understanding of my situation.

 After the interviews I got myself some ice cream, I think I deserved it, and sat in a plaza in the sun. It was a pretty chill afternoon by myself. At night Allison, Tim (her friend who is visiting from Latvia), and I went out for tapas. Tapas are like small appetizers and Sevilla is known for them. Neither Allison nor I had tried them yet so we decided why not!? We got 6 different types of tapas and shared. They were all pretty different but very good overall. I even tried Bacalao, which is the fish that is the most well-known and popular in Andalusia. After tapas we went to the Carbonería to watch a flamenco show. The show was really good and my favorite thing was the flutist. He was amazing! (Anchorman style). Afterwards we strolled by the Cathedral, La Giralda and stopped for ice cream. Overall, it was a very Spanish end to a pretty good week.
