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!

Lets Be Serious, Who Doesn’t Love Getting Tests Back?

Monday March 24, 2008

 Ah the first day back after a week long vacation, yuck. To top things off, we got two midterm tests back today that we had completed before our break. Not what I would call a great day, but life goes on. Far too many other things are good in my life to let that get me down. After a not-so-fun day of classes I came home to find three letters waiting on my desk! Woo hoo-mail call! I received a card from my parents/Molly, a sweet postcard from Meridith and a card from Aaron as well. I love getting mail; it was the highlight of my day. After lunch I called Jessie Springer (Ernst to me still) and it was really good to talk to her. I haven’t talked to her much since I’ve been here, other than the occasional e-mail, and I miss her. The rest of the day was spent drafting 5 pages for a final paper. The rough draft is due on Wednesday and it’s exactly that, rough. I guess we’ll see how the final project, 10 pages all in Spanish, turns out! On a brighter note, the weather was amazing today, proving to be yet another gorgeous Spanish day. I don’t know how much longer I’m going to want to stay in my room while doing homework. I might just have to do my homework by the river or in a park, ah what a life!
