Location: My apartment, 2:42PM

And so it's been yet another week. ANOTHER WEEK! It's crazy when I look back and I've already been here for almost a whole month!! Only a month, and I've already been having the time of my life, and the greatest experiences..

It was my last week of the intensive language course that I've been taking. I am so happy I am finally done with it, because even though I learned SO MUCH about the language, grammar and culture; the class was so tedious and I was getting sick of having to go EVERYDAY for 4 hours... at night. HA! I had my final on Friday, and it was actually kinda tough, but I'm 99.9% sure I passed. There was a written part and an oral part. The written part contained like 6 different exercises that we did in class throughout the three weeks. The oral part was with my other professor and he just asked us different questions and we had to answer him, all in Spanish of course.

Also this past week, I did an "intercambio" which is an exchange between students from our program, and Spanish students from the university. I met a lot of cool people and now I have even more Spanish friends! It's a great way to meet people from here, and practice your Spanish. Along with practicing your Spanish, they have a chance to practice their English! It was a lot of fun. We all went to a bar, got a couple of drinks and tapas, and then afterwards a bunch of us went out for some shawarma.

This weekend was more of a relaxing, staying in and watching movies kinda weekend. Besides the fact that I went out Friday... Friday was enough for me. PLUS, considering that I'm leaving for Italia in a couple days, I can't be spending moneys! Yes, leaving for Italia Tuesday... I can't wait! I get to meet up with Lisa and Lindsay in Rome too, so that'll be an adventure! YAYYY I CANNOT WAIT. I will take a lot of pictures, and make sure to write all about it when I get back.

On the itinerary for the future:
-Italy
-Beginning of ACTUAL classes (should be interesting)
-Alhambra visit
-going to MOROCCO for a weekend
-Ronda visit
-a weekend trip to Sevilla and Cordoba
-A LOT MORE TO COME.

<3 you.
