Hello there!! I know I know I said I was going to blog about every other day. I haven't exactly been keeping up with that but I will try to put more effort into it. Recently in my life there has been alot going on. Last weekend I had some friends come in from out of town. They are all studying in Rome and wanted to see me and some of my friends studying here. It was good to see most of them....I mean its always hard to spend time in a large group of people especially when there ate alot of strong personalities. lol Well we only saw my friends for one night because after the first night I realized that if I'm going to be living in another country then I need to be surrounding meslef with new people. I can go to American bars back home. I live in Madrid Spain its one of the most alove cities in the world and I choose to spend time with mostly englich speaking student....well not anymore. Last Saturday me and my roommates when to a classmates dorm and realized just how fun it is to meet new people. We met all students at my school who are staying here 4 years. They were so nice and we all compared stories and backgrounds and it was really fun to branch out. Alot of them aren't American so that was nice to expand my friend circle. If living here has taught me anything it is that I need to stop being so comfortable. I was comfortable with my old friends and going to the same bar. Not anymore I am going to try new things because I'm living here once and I need to make memories that are unforgettable and not stay in my American bubble.
Anyways the rest of my week has mostly been school. I love my classes still which is good. I have really great teachers. Also alot of my classmates are really nice. I have met a few people that are studying abroad next semester at SLU's home campus so we can hang out when they come visit me. My dance class is by far my favorite class. Now my best let me add but defiantly the most entertaining. I'm not a bad dancer but I am not as good as erica. We learned a dip yesterday where I put all my weight on one leg and fall almost into the splits......its not my favorite but we have to do it to end our final showcase so I have till April to practice. We preform for the whole school at this show and its filmed so I will buy a copy and invite you all over to see it.
Tonight....well actually in about an hour I will be leaving on my first weekend trip. We are going to Sevilla. Its about a 6 hour bus ride so we are taking a night bus so we can sleep on the bus and get there in the morning.I'm excited to go. It is supposed to be one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. It is tropical so it will be warm and they have the 3rd largest church in the world!!!!! I'm actually going to look at it for Lc's wedding. Just Kidding!! They also have huge Salsa shows and dances in the street, and great historical museums. I can't wait to leave. Other than the bus ride it should be great!!! Don't worry we will be getting back on sunday just in time to go watch the Superbowl! I will try and figure out a way to upload some photos for everyone to see!!! Well I better go pack! I love and miss you all!!!!!
I hope to return with many great stories and good pictures. THINKING OF YOU GUYS ALWAYS!!! love you!
