Semana Santa

April 17th, 2009 · No Comments

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 [...]

Examenes parciales :S

March 25th, 2009 · 2 Comments

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.

Adios, Moti!

March 5th, 2009 · 3 Comments

Well, our Japanese roommate Moti is leaving this weekend. I can’t believe it’s been a month since she’s arrived! Her Spanish has improved SO much, I am so proud of her. And I’m glad she’s just moving to another apartment in Granada, so I’ll still be able to see her every once and awhile. I [...]

Oh, Mamache

January 26th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I have to tell you about my host mom, Mamache. She cracks all 3 of us girls up every night. She never thinks we eat enough and always teases us or pretends to be really worried when we tell her we’ve had enough food. Even tonight (we had pasta, yummm), she knows she always gives [...]
