amor is in the air (and no that's not me in the picture)

So since I'm obsessed with taking pictures and I think I'm just as good as any professional, I will also be posting my favorite pictures that I take every once in a while. My new favorite thing is taking creeper pictures of other people...enjoy!

Getting here was ALL the battle.

Well everyone, I made it back to Sevilla safe and sound.  Although it was a long journey with heavy, heavy bags, getting here went off without a hitch; and for those of you who shared in my paperwork woes, you know what a relief this is.  I didn’t intend on starting a blog, but I figured it’s a really efficient way to keep everyone in the loop on what’s going on. I’ll try and keep my posts short and interesting.  So, back to the land of vino, naps, partying until 7:00am, and fried everything. Part of my feels like I never left, and part of me feels like everything is new.  

So I was pretty jet lagged when I got here – much worse than last time – so I may or may not have slept from 5:00pm to 11:00am.  This probably doesn’t really surprise anyone because I really do love sleep.  But I’m back in action looking for a place to live and waiting to start school.  I have nothing to report on those yet since neither has been established yet…so more details to come from there.

Most exciting thing to report was my weekend trip to Madrid to visit my friends from home who were traveling through Europe just as I was arriving.  Let’s just say wow.  After copious amounts of sangria, trying suckling pig, and ordering bottle service at a club while dancing until 6:30am, I think I could call that weekend a success.

 (Awesome thing about Madrid: their creepy street performers in Plaza Mayor. My favorites of the day was fat Spider-Man, and the possessed goat thing.)

So that’s all I have really to report so far. I’ll use this page to keep you all updated on my adventures and to share funny/cool/scary/ridiculous stories.  For example, yesterday I met with some girls from my program to hang out and chat by the river, and we saw someone’s dog stalk and kill a fat white pigeon.  It was pretty unsettling, but the bird never stood a chance.  So c’est la vie!
