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.
Despite being disappointed about missing [...]

Happy Friday 13th, for the second time this year! You know what’s funny, is that Friday the 13th doesn’t mean anything here! For Spaniards, their day of bad luck is Tuesday the 13th.

Sorry for the delay in updates! I am back from my excursion and I must say that I had a wonderful time! It feels good to be back “home” though, and I’m getting a little nervous/excited to start classes, tomorrow!! I got my schedule today and was a little surprised to see the level that [...]

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 [...]

I haven’t talked about the food here in awhile and thought I might. First of all, I am in absolute heaven because we have a bread at EVERY SINGLE MEAL. Between Samantha, Jennifer and I, we go through at least one or two baguettes every day. Those who know me well know that I would [...]

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, [...]
