Spanish Holiday Fun!

"Spring Break, High 5 WOO!" haha... These past few days have been really cool. Last Thursday in class we had our oral exam. It was pretty rough. I was really nervous studying for it. Aaron was my partner and we pulled through it pretty well. We don’t have our grades back yet, but I was just relieved that it was over.

Friday there were only 4 people (out of 24) in class... and I was not one of them. We were just reviewing some stuff that we went over previously. So I had off school Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday (Spanish Holiday), Tuesday, and Wednesday (Spanish holiday)... and it has been great! I started reading an autobiography. Marlon Brando: Songs my Mother Taught Me. I started on Sunday, and I am about half way through the book. It is kind of weird reading all about someone else’s life, hearing the stories, and perspectives of others. He (so far) led a very different, yet extraordinary life.

Other than that, I have been studying for my Spanish final (which is on the 15th) and hanging out with my friends here in Sevilla. Some people traveled this weekend. I decided to hang back here and enjoy this last break in Spain. I have had a lot of fun going out, and having nothing else to do. No worries. Just enjoying the company of other college students from all over, and meeting new people.

Tomorrow it’s back to the daily grind. We have evening class tomorrow night, but I have to go to the consulate tomorrow and renew my student visa, because it expires before I go back home. Busy day. The countdown is on. I am really going to miss being in Europe, but it will be good to be back in Texas. 8 more days until I land on Texan soil. Until then, Hasta Luego.
