Last weekend and so on...

Heyyy Everyone sorry for the a late blog post.

Okay so last weekend 4 of us went to Malaga Spain. It was pretty, but nothing special in my opinion. We're all in agreement that Portugal spoiled us. This trip made me realize just how expensive everything is over here and how cheap the US dollar is. Not Fair. I spent a good amount solely on transportation. Everything was just inconvenient so the trip didn't go as planned. We did enjoy a nice beach day however. We also went to a picasso museum because he was born in Malaga. We came back to Sevilla on Sunday, and had Monday off so i spent the day lounging. I got a new roommate. She is from Italy. Talk about language barriers from every direction. Its good for me however bc it forces me to speak Spanish with her. It comes as no surprise that her spanish is much better than mine and shes only 18. Im jealous.

Things are starting to pick up on on learning the language. I'm grasping the grammar better than I have ever before. Really I've come to believe it is all about vocab. I know how to put a sentence together but what good is that when I don't know the words to use? So basically I've just started reading my English-Spanish Dictionary and hoping for the best. Homework and tests are starting to pick up but nothing I can't handle.

The weather is still 85 and sunny. Someone said they kept track of how many times its rained here....2. I was asleep for both times so really never. I am missing american food like crazy but have become accustomed to my diet plan...the diet plan thats comes with 5 mile runs everyday. sheesh. I watched as my roommate tried to tell my senora no fruit for me tonight I'm very full...she said it 3 times...and then my senora said...ok ok you'll just have a plum those are small. hahah It was hilarious.

Its already october 14! Times flying. Next weekend I am just taking it easy. Probably going to Arcena on Saturday and then a hike on sunday...mainly because they are free. The following weekend I go to morocco and then finish the month with italy.

HEY mom email me back.

Until next time! <3
