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!

That’s It, I’m Doing It

Monday April 14, 2008

Today all of our Spanish professors realized that this was the last full week of classes before their finals and that that we indeed only have two weeks left of Sevilla. How depressing. Talk about pouring salt on that wound 3 times in a row. Although, I’m still optimistic about our time left here. Therefore, Allison, Elsabeth, and I went to the ticket office today (after getting ice cream) to buy tickets for a bullfight this weekend. I have been debating with myself if I actually want to see a bull fight...but I decided that I’m in Spain. I’m almost required to see a bull fight. We learned all about the culture behind the bullfights, the terms and the history behind everything today in our culture class, and it got me more motivated to actually buy the ticket. Now I can cross another “I still need to do this” off of my list before our departure!
