Crispy estudiante.

Hola! Well so much has happened since I talked to yall last! It's been great. We spent all day on Sunday in Cadiz, which is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Western world. Cool, huh? And it's on a peninsula that's bordered on 3 sides by the Atlantic, so I got to see lots of ocean and LOTS of beach! I sat on the beach for several hours, and it was heavenly (except i might have let myself get a little burnt. oops!)! And actually on the beach I ran into my friend Pierre who I met Granada - it's so cool to meet up again with people that I've met!

Yesterday classes started. Yuck! But it's ok because they're pretty cool. My advanced Spanish class is me and three other girls, and our prof is AWESOME. He's so smart and funny and totally fascinating. Class is from 8:30-11 every morning, so every morning around 10 or so we go out for coffee together. It's all conversation which is WONDERFUL for learning, and common grammatical errors which are good to learn about, and our coffee trips are our little culture opportunities, where we ask about that kind of stuff. It's wonderful! My other class is all about the culture of Andalucia, which is the southern-most region of Spain that includes Sevilla, Malaga, Granada, Cadiz, etc. It's where bullfighting, flamenco, etc all kind or originated - all the stuff that Spain is known for! The class definately involves homework, and 2.5 hours of sitting through that class is a little long, but it's all so interesting that it's ok :) Well I suppose that's it for now... I've got homework to do :) haha!

Hasta luego,
Kelly
