Hey all~
Buona Sera, from Italia! I’m not sure if I ever mentioned that I had traveling plans after my semester ended… I’ve been here in Rome with my uncle this weekend, and tomorrow I’m leaving for Germany for 10 days! I feel EXTREMELY lucky to have this opportunity and I’m looking forward to it! I’m [...]

Well Semana Santa is over (and has been for a week now, oops!) and it was by no means easy to go back to classes! I was happy to be back in Granada to see my host family and friends here! The girls (other Amanda, Samantha and Ellie) brought a couple guys and we went [...]

As a follow-up from last entry, I ended up not going to Fiesta de las Fallas (this would be when I direct you to Jhonni’s blog - a fellow BlogAbroad-er actually studying in Valencia!). I wasn’t feeling so well those few days anyway, so it was probably best I stay home.

Before I tell you about this weekend, I have to tell you what I have been waiting for since last year!! This is totally nerdy but I don’t even care, I was so excited - I can’t believe I forgot to mention it in my last entry. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE [...]

I have a list of things I want to talk about going in my mind, so I think I’ll write that out now!

Last night we got dinner at a supermarket by our hostel and left around 6 to try and find the first bar for our pub crawl. Of course we got hopelessly lost and [...]

Yesterday Sarah and I got on a bus to Malaga at 11:30. I’m not sure exactly what was wrong with me but I felt [...]

Hola todos! I’m sorry it’s been awhile since updating, I just haven’t been doing much this week except classes. This week felt like it took forever for some reason… I think part of it is the fact that it has been raining a ton lately, pretty much everyday. Oh well, at least spring will be [...]

Yes, you knew this post was coming… the first presidential vote I was able to cast was for Mr. Obama, so needless to say, today was very exciting for me. There was no way I was going to miss watching the ceremony, and I will definitely always remember where I was!! Even if you didn’t [...]

Well, this week has been going well but let me tell you, I am happy that it is the weekend! Even though I only have 4 hours of class a day, they are tiring - I guess it’s called “Intensive Month” for a reason! When I finally get home around 2 after classes are over, [...]
