I spent 9 hours in Madrid yesterday. I set out with the essentials: my Kindle, for reading on the train; my battery pack, since Google Maps drains my phone like no other; and sunscreen. I got bumped to first class on the way there and didn’t realize it, so I thought the entire train was just really nice. First things…
Crossing Things Off My To-Do List
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! This week has been the week of finally getting around to things, which means that I’ve been super productive and have done many things that I can tell you all about. Go me! The first big thing I got out of the way this week was probably the most exciting: I got my…
NH trips and lots to do
Oh man! This week is loaded with things to do and deadlines. I was in New Hampshire last week, and returned to Miami yesterday. I went to visit my boyfriend for his birthday, and it was a great time. He’s still in class as well so other than his birthday celebrations, we spent most of the time working together. …
Already four weeks in Spain?!
I know I said this last week, but really, time flies in Córdoba… and in Seville and Granada, where I spent time this weekend. I just got back from an overnight to Granada with the whole Preshco group. My ears are plugged from the change in altitude, so I’m chewing tasteless gum and nursing my water bottle. I read an…
Mission: Registration
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! I am proud to announce that as of 8:01 this morning, I am officially registered for my sophomore fall semester classes. As per the norm, my Twitter feed has been filled with students panicking over saved schedules, wait lists, and back up courses for the past week. Personally, I’ve never had any major difficulties on…
Photos from Córdoba
Time flies in Córdoba. Today marks three weeks since I arrived. I know my time here is short, so in order to avoid getting sad about that, I’m focusing more on living in the present than I ever have. Each day is a surprise. Planning is impossible. So I go one day at a time. Today, on the blog, some…
East Bound and Down
Howdy blog, and happy Thursday! As I write this post, I am sitting in the Snuggle Cave absolutely soaking wet and very chilly from a trip down to the Ville in the rain to pick up a prescription and some Sesame Street band-aids. After I write this blog post, I have a long and very important to-do list to…
Kickboxing!
This week is off to a great start. There’s no particular reason for this (I sort of wish there was), but I think it’s all just about mentality. I am thinking it could be in part to my workout this Sunday for my PE class this term (fusion fitness). The class is structured a bit like an independent study which…
I promise I know how to open a door
On our way out for a walk soon after we first arrived, Charlotte and I stared at the various knobs on the door to our apartment. There was a sliding metal bar at the bottom, which was easy enough to figure out. On top, though, were chains, a slider, a triangular switch. Hearing our confusion, our host mom, Beatriz, came…
Spring Break [And Senior Week!]
Hello hello! Term 4 has hit hard, and I am insanely behind on posting. The thesis is due in less than two weeks! I started to write today’s post on FDOC and never quite finished. Here it is! Happy FDOC (first day of classes)! Today marks my last first day of college, ever. Wild! I won’t get into too much…
