Well this week started off rough. Homesick hit hard on Easter. Thankful I got to talk to good friends and my family. I even got to talk to my kitties:] It has been GORGEOUS here in Sevilla. I love it. I wake up and it is warm and sunny. I have taken advantage of laying out in the park and soaking up the sun. Every single day got better and better.


Monday started off really well! I ended the day with our flamenco lesson. It was pretty intense, but really fun. It was hard to get back into the swing of things because I had not been in school for a good 10 days! We had our first spring break. Tuesday was also a great day that consisted of school, a run, hanging out, and the sun. Wednesday we had school, of course, and then had our last flamenco lesson. It was so funny. I am scared for the fiesta we have tomorrow (Monday April 12). Afterwards we went to the park and hung out. It was evening and we played catch with a football and sang songs! Again, thursday and friday were uneventful, but so much fun. I got to lay out for about 4 hours in 80 degree weather with my friends! Saturday was absolutely gorgeous. I went on a run, shopped, went to our activity director’s house to bake, and then went to a discoteca! Wow! It was so much fun... We (rachel, jenna, marissa, rebecca, evelyn, and i) felt like REAL spainards! We didnt eat until 12:30 pm... And didn’t get to the discoteca oh you know until 1:45pm! Ha! Today (Sunday) is just a day of relaxing and oh YES studying!!!! I cannot wait for this week to be over with because my daddy will be here! Once he comes I only have TWO WEEKS of school left and then my auntie comes :]


So this week increasingly got better. I am in a good place, but also ready to go home. I have so enjoyed my time here and wouldn’t change it for anything! I miss being in contact with all of you!



Okay so I wrote this awhile back... but I realized I never updated the blog since I went to Italy. It was a packed last two months or so. A lot happened so I wont bore you with all the details! Semana Santa was great... that was Italy, England, and Puerto de Santa Maria.... Two weeks after that I had Feria. This is when my dad was suppose to come, but due to the volcano in Iceland he was unable to come then. He was able to change his flight. He came the last week I was in Sevilla. Before he came my friends Jenna, Rachel, Stephen, and Jacob had a great weekend just hanging out. Jen, Rach, and I also went to a bull fight. That was very interesting. I never want to see another one. I though it was like going to the rodeo, but little did I know what was to come. So my dad came to Sevilla. We had an amazing time! THat was the first time we had spent time together like that in over 10 years! It was so fun. We saw lots of things in Sevilla. We also went on a bike tour of Sevilla which was awesome. Then we ventured to Malaga which is a beach town on the Eastern Coast of Sevilla! We did a bike tour there too. The biggest event that we did was go to the FC Barcelona vs. FC Sevilla game! We were in the 4th row from the field. We could pretty much touch the players! It was absolutely amazing! My dad was suppose to fly out the following day, but due to the volcano erupting again, was not able to. Needless to say, my senora made some amazing food and welcomed him in! His flight was canceled TWICE! It took him 72 hours to get home! It was fun for him to eat lunch with us twice... because he could speak with my senora! It was super fun. My dear friends Jen and Rach sent me off on my way back to the Estados Unidos.



My aunt was unable to come to Spain so I got to come home early. I was able to surprise Kristen (my sister) at her graduation from PLNU! Her face was absolutely priceless! I wouldnt have changed it for anything. So my dear friend and roommate to be, Lauren Hamlett, picked me up from the LAX airport... Talk about diving right into culture shock! HELLO LA! It was so good tho. I have been back home now for three days. It is a very weird feeling, but so good too. I am having a tough time sleeping... I am not sure what that is all about... but hopefully my body gets used to the food and the days soon! I have yet to have mexican food which is odd, but I have had wonderful breakfasts and yummy sushi and such! I have been able to run along the beach everyday! I still am in shock that everyone speaks english and I dont have to think about how I am going to phrase something in spanish. There are some things I am getting used to, but it is the best feeling to be home! I am off to Bass Lake in about 20 days! I cannot wait to be up there again!


I am sorry for the vague update, but I figured if you want more details then you can just ask :] I’d love to hear from you!!!


Love to all... and so good to be back!

Superb blog! Do you have any tips

and hints for aspiring writers? I'm planning to start my own site

soon but I'm a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with
a free platform like

Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thank

you!

Hey there this is somewhat of off topic but I

wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance from someone with

experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
