I’ve been back in Seville for two
weeks now. Things have gone so smooth, it’s like I’ve done this before or
something (HA) I daydream about my trip during January all the time. I miss the
cities, the independence and the lack of homework. I look at my pictures, and
others pictures of the cities to remember the small details. I wrote in a
journal during my travels now wish is serving as a guide down memory lane to
relive it all in my dreams. I’m already planning my next venture to Europe. (Maybe
in a couple of years though because it was not cheap!) But it was worth every
penny, every tear, everything I put into it.
We are just finishing the
continuation period here at the center, so at the moment I’m only taking two
classes there and another at the University of Seville. My class at the
University was one of my biggest worries because it’s not a class for Americans
and I didn’t think I was going to know what was going on ever. Turns out the
professor has a fairly thick Andalucían accent, but every time I go into the
class I understand him more and more. I’m giving it time and trying not to get
too frustrated with myself during class when I don’t understand every single
word. It has been a huge support to have some background on art history. This class
is art history during the 20th century, so even when I don’t know
what artists we are talking about because his accent is thick and he doesn’t
pronounce the names as I would, but I can usually figure it out because he’ll
mention an art movement and I can guess. I’m very thankful at the moment for
those past art history classes, very. But besides understanding him, I’m
enjoying it. I’m also not the only American, there are about 7 other US
students who are in the class, so I’m never the one who understands the least.
I’m having a really good time
readjusting to everything here, I know how it all works and I speak the
language! I’ve found a couple girls in my grammar class and a few others who I
have clicked with really well. I’ve been going out to coffee with them and on
weekends as well. My new roommate and I are two very different people. She is
very nice, but we are just two different people with very different backgrounds
so we don’t hang out too often.
Overall, I’m doing really well. I’m
glad to be back, I’m happy and loving the weather when it’s sunny. I’m looking
forward to the rest of the semester, seeing my family in April and enjoying the
little time I have left in Europe. I've also updated my Flickr account with pictures from the trip - so look out for those!
All my love
XOXO
