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!

Under My Umbrella

Thursday April 10, 2008

Today I slept for most of the day…and it is still raining! We didn’t get home last night until around 4am, so it was nice to be able to sleep in today.

Mother Nature is kind of being a jerk, and she its not really cooperating with this whole Feria and vacation time…I’d love to go out and do more, but its kind of hard to get motivated when its pouring and windy outside. I’m waiting for my umbrella to get blown inside out and die on me. Although, I tend to find humor in most situations and when I was walking outside in the rain today, ironically enough, someone had the song Umbrella by Rhianna playing. I just happened to hear the line, “Now it’s raining more than ever…” Huh, how true? I thought that it was a very weather appropriate song to be listening to.

In the afternoon Allison, Sam and I decided that we were going crazy in our room so we left for a bit and went to the grocery store to get some ice cream despite the rain! When we got home we were soaking but we had ice cream in hand…so the weather didn’t seem as bad at this point. We took a break from sleeping and homework to eat our ice cream and to watch some Will & Grace. It was a good indoor activity for our rainy day!

 Next week is dead week (April 14th- April 17th) and then we have finals week (April 21st- April 24th) after that. As you can probably imagine, I have a lot of final projects, homework and studying that I am trying to get done, or at least started this week. I can’t believe my time is coming to an end…it seems like everything has just gone by so fast!
